The Lady Raiders travelled to Manson looking for league win number two last week, but slipped from a two-game lead in a letdown that led to the Trojans winning the match in five games 3-2. Raider Head Coach Nate Piturachsatit liked how the team started out the match and praised his setters. "Mikel Friedlander and Kayley Duclos set very consistently for us, which allowed us to make some strong offensive plays," he said. But the poor play on the court and the turnaround loss in five games upset the coach. It was the subject of a locker room... Full story
