Lady PIoneers Tie Raiders at Home

The Lady Pioneers hosted the Raiders of Ryle in a regional match-up on a toasty evening at Frontier Field tonight. The Lady Pioneers have kind of had the Raiders number over the last few years. Match-ups between these two teams are usually pretty good contests; tonight was no exception.

The game was one where both teams took turns controlling the momentum and flow. Ryle looked good early on. The Raiders would tap the net first in the 29th minute of the match. That goal seemed to wake the Pioneers up as senior Jessie Cooper would tie the game in the next minute. This goal sent the momentum the Pioneers way.

The second half would start off with SK getting several good shots while posessing the ball. The ladies did a much better job of controlling the ball and putting pressure on Ryle. I am not sure what happenvd though because with about 12 minutes to go in the half, the Raiders would keep the ball in the Pioneers defensive end of the field. SK got one final strong push in the last minute but the game ended up tied 1-1. Hats off tonight to the Defense. Several girls really stepped up tonight to keep the Raiders out of the goal.

The Freshman and JV teams brought home W’s for SK tonight.
