The second goal of the season for junior Brooke Moyer was not enough for the Raiders, as they tied West Virginia Wesleyan 1-1 on Wednesday night.
The Raiders opened the scoring at the 18 minute mark, when senior Fred Lucas directed a corner kick towards the net, and Moyer finished off the play with a header. However, the score was matched by Wesleyan in the 82nd minute, when Jordan Halpern landed his own header into the back of the net off an entry pass from R.J. Sho-Silva. Despite going into two overtime periods, neither team could add another goal to take the match.
Wesleyan outshot the Raiders by a 21-13 margin, but only 9 of the team’s shots were on goal. A strong performance by sophomore Evan Raimist included a career-high 8 saves, and helped to keep the score even until late in the game.
The beginning of the non-league schedule has been good for the Raiders thus far, as they are now 2-1-1 on the season. Their next match up is Friday at Washington Adventist, another non-league opponent, before a stretch of PSAC games begin for the Raiders.
