Lady Raiders win soccer in OT

The Lady Raiders soccer team won 3-2 in Manson in overtime on Sept. 27, their first victory of the season.

Sawyer Steffens and Nautika Brown scored goals for LR during regulation, which ended with the game tied 2-2. 

Assistant Coach Solveig Chaffee explained that the teams then played two sudden death overtime periods at five minutes each with no scoring.

The teams then each had five players take penalty kicks. 

There were no scorers after that first group, she said, but “the next group of five proved decisive with makes by both our eighth graders — Kenzie Brown and Phenyx Marchand — to help seal the win.”

Winning overtime made the score technically 3-2, although the Lady Raiders scored two goals in overtime.

The victory gave LR a 1-2 win-loss record. 

A home game with Oroville in Grand Coulee was scheduled yesterday, results of which will be reported next week.

Another home game, with Bridgeport, is set for next Tuesday, Oct. 11, starting at 4:30 p.m.
