Raiders Honor Teachers

For the previous two seasons, the Sugar River Raiders girls soccer team has dedicated a home game to their teachers. Each year the players and managers write a letter to their teacher and the teacher receives a t-shirt honoring them. On Tuesday, May 2nd, the Raider soccer program honored Belleville and New Glarus teachers for their dedication to their education.
The Raiders played a conference game against Wisconsin Heights-Barneveld. All six goals came from different players, including Kalin O'Rourke, Brittany Kiefer, Amber Sies, Aimee Sies, Treise Langhammer, and Mikayla Cann. Keeper Rachael Heittola had two saves. The Raiders defeated the Vanguards, 6-0.
On Thursday the Raiders traveled to Stoughton to take on the Vikings. This was a non-conference match, and was a tough match for the Raiders. The Raiders defeated the Vikings, 1-0, with the lone goal being scored by Kalin O'Rourke with the assist from Aimee Sies. Rachael Heittola had four saves.
The Raiders have three games next week. The Raiders travel to Evansville on May 16th, and on May 18th travel to Poynette to play to Pumas. The Raiders cap the week off with a home game against Dodgeville on Friday, May 19th.
