Portland would stirke just 1:12 into the 2nd qt to pull w/n 1 but then the Raiders would answer with 4 goals of their own and never look back. It was a balanced win with all offensive players scoring goals led by #31 Frank and #00 Mason with 3 each. #22 Martin, #8 Melcher, and #11 Running would put 2 goals in each, while #1 Morris and #17 Rivas each tallied a goal. #1 Morris led the team with 4 assists and dominated the face-off X. Defensively the Raiders stepped up as Sophomore Goalie Saechao #24 tallied 16 saves as the Raiders limited the Pilots to tough shots. The Raiders close defense did not allow a single goal from the Pilots attack and the midfield held the Pilots leading scorer at midfield to just 1 goal. Game ball went to Sr. LSM #9 Roger Cuestas for his effort, toughness, caused turnovers, ground balls, and shut down defense. The win moves the Raiders to 5-3 on the season and gets them into the PNCLL playoffs. Next up is the regular season finale at Western Oregon with playoff seedings at stake.
