Within the first 10 minutes of the game, the Raiders seized a 6-1 lead before the Cougars fought back and made it quite a game in a 9-8 SPF victory.

Carina DiLollo scooped three ground balls and had two draws. Grace Cawley had two ground balls. Mia Delaney, Mackenzie Harmer, Emma Chan and Sammie Nocera each scooped a ground ball. Goalkeeper Elissa Steingart recorded 13 saves.
