East Sac County Raiders Girls Soccer fell in the Class 1A Region 4 Semi-Final to the #5 Bishop Heelan Crusaders 7-0
The match saw the Raiders play well on defense for the opening 13 minutes. However, after a reflex handball in the box, the Crusaders would score on a PK from Trelyn White to make it 1-0. Just 20 seconds later White would score again, this time connecting on her 31st of the season, to give the Crusaders the 2-0 lead. Later in the half Brooklyn Stanley would score her 16th goal of the season with 19:59 to go in the half to put the Crusaders up 3-0. Again, just 27 seconds later the Crusaders would strike with Jaida Douch scoring her first of the year to extend the Crusader lead to 4-0. The Crusaders would carry a 4-0 lead to the halftime break. The second half saw the Raider keep the Crusaders off the scoreboard for the first ten minutes before an own goal gave the Crusaders the 5-0. The Crusaders would add two more including White’s third of the game en route to the 7-0 victory.
With the loss the Raiders end the season at 8-6 (2nd most wins in school history) and say goodbye to 8 seniors, and the Crusaders now improve to 14-5 and advance to the 1A-4 Region Final vs either Unity Christian or Western Christian
