The Raiders redeemed themselves defeating visiting LA Pierce, 3-0, to close out the week. Game scores were 25-17, 25-17, and 25-22.

At Santa Barbara, the Raiders may have looking ahead to the Pierce contest as they struggled with their hitting from the onset. With a chance to win game one, the Raider errors were too much to overcome as the dropped game one 25-27. The Raider funk carried into game two as they fell behind as the Vaqueros put together a mini run to pull away. 

Game three saw the Raiders settle down and showed why they were deserving of the #4 ranking taking game 3 in dominant fashion, 25-15. 

The Raiders were hoping to get the reverse sweep but the ghosts of SB's Sports Pavilion came out to give the Vaqueros a game 4 and match win.

Tyler Linville, Taylor Phipps, and Jacob Knudsen each had 10 kills. Ryan Ferguson had 40 assists and Joey Nelson had 7 digs.

The Raiders made quick work of LA Pierce in a nice rebound from their loss to Santa Barbara. The Raiders over-powered the Brahmas to take a quick two game lead going into game three. Game three saw the reserves get plenty of game speed action on their way to a 25-22 game 3 win and sweep.
