As journalists, we always love a feel-good story. Most of us stop rooting for teams when we begin this profession and begin rooting for the people we get to know or feel-good stories.

The 24-year-old netminder played well in her first four pro starts before being shut down due to the injury, but made her triumphant return by making 23 saves in a 6-2 win over the two-time defending Isobel Cup champion Boston Pride to keep the Rivs’ flickering playoff hopes alive.
