The Raiders are now 5-7-1 overall and 3-2 in Cascade Conference play. Northwest fell to 1-9-2 overall and 0-5-1 in conference.

The two teams were in the middle of a scoreless tie when the Raiders finally got on the board at the 87:00 mark. Maddi Sprott (Portland, Ore./Liberty)'s shot was deflected by a Northwest defender and found its way into the goal to provide the only goal of the game.
