Double-O-Baker: Nicole Cooks Up a Hat Trick in Mother Puckers’ 7-3 Win
Offense was on full display as the Mother Puckers unleashed a masterclass in sharpshooting, claiming an electrifying 7-3 victory over the Tulsa Riveters and putting an end to the Riveters' four-game win streak.
Leading the charge was Nicole Baker (rocking #07, giving peak secret-agent sniper energy), who buried a first-period tally and followed up with two rapid-fire strikes in the second to secure a well-earned hat trick. Baker wasn't just selfishly hoarding goals either—she also dished out a sweet apple on an Abigail Nisbet marker. Nisbet brought plenty of offensive magic of her own, lighting the lamp twice on the night. Addison Gaut put on a dynamic display with a goal and an assist, while Kalea Maxwell joined the scoring party in the third period thanks to a crisp feed from Mckenna N Allison. Not to be outdone in the generosity department, Melissa McLauchlin and Jessica Hinkefent each chipped in with crisp assists of their own.
The Riveters answered back with high-octane offensive bursts of their own. Ivy Emerson was simply relentless, potting two goals to stretch her phenomenal goal-scoring streak to five straight games. Hannah Atkins also joined the fun early in the third, burying a clean shot to keep the Riveters buzzing until the final horn.
