Raiders Pasteurize Cheesemakers

The Sugar River Raiders girls soccer team added two more wins to the win column this week, thus continuing on an eight game win streak. The Raiders are currently ranked second in conference only trailing conference rival, Lodi.
Last week, the Raiders were on the road playing tough teams from their conference and their regional bracket. On Tuesday, they traveled to Lake Mills to play the L-Cats. The Raiders defeated the L-Cats, 3-1. Goals were scored by Esther Noriega, Kalin O'Rourke, and Brittany Kiefer.
On Friday, April 28th, the Raiders traveled to south play local rival Monroe. This was a non-conference game, but proved to be an essential game for the future. The ladies were able to defeat the Cheesemakers with ease, even though they battled cold and rainy conditions. They won 4-0, with goals being scored by Amber Sies, Kalin O'Rourke, and Esther Noriega. Keeper Rachael Heittola had two saves. The Raiders are now 8-1, while the Cheesemakers fall to 4-4-2.
