On Friday, Dec. 6, the Riveters held the first on-field event in club history when head coach Scott Gibson led the team’s first open combine with the help of sporting director Dan Visser, goalkeeper coach Reaghan Duval and others from the technical staff.
In total, 43 women took part in drills and scrimmage matches at the AHN Montour Sports Complex while the staff evaluated the pool of players aspiring to be part of the inaugural 2025 Riveters team. Each received feedback from the staff, and the top players from the combine will be invited back to a later tryout and/or the team’s preseason in April.
Take a look below to see some of the sights from the combine, and hear Gibson’s comments after the event. (Photos and video by Mallory Neil/Riverhounds SC; additional photos by Matt Grubba/Riverhounds SC)
