The Women's Soccer team opened up WSC North action last week against Ventura and Santa Barbara. Both teams have been the nemesis of the Raiders the couple of seasons and this year is no different with the Raiders dropping a heartbreaker to VC, 1-0 and a hard fought battle to the Vaqueros, 4-2.

At Ventura, both teams played evenly until the 64th minute. With the Raiders defense trying to clear the ball, Ventura took advantage of a missed played ball and found the back of the net. The Raiders had a couple oppurtunities to tie the game but could not convert.

Capping off the week hosting Santa Barbara, the Raiders were down 2-0 early in the game before Catalina Anguita found the back of the net from a Kaiya Holt assist on the 29th minute. 2-1 Vaqueros.

It would stay 2-1 when Santa Barbara scored again in the 81st minute. With the Vaqueros packing in the defense, Taylor Selznick slipped a ball past the SB goalie to make the score 3-2 Raiders trailing. On their very next posession, Santa Barbara added thier insurance to the 88th minute. 4-2 final score.

The Raiders will host Pierce on Tuesday, 10/8 at 4p and will follow on drive to Oxnard, Friday, 10/11 at 4p

The Raiders are 5-4 on the year and 0-2 in WSC North.
