After gaining possession of the ball early in the first half, the Raiders took the lead after Rightmyer gathered a loose ball in the box, sneaking through a crowd of players to send the ball past Pitt-Johnstown keeper Leigh Appolonia.

Coming off of a 1-0 deficit at the half, Jessica Getz opened with one of multiple scoring opportunities for the Lady Cats, but none could get past Raiders Keeper Leah Roy.
