Christina Panagiotopoulos' two-RBI single in the top of the first proved to be enough as the Raiders allowed just one run over the contest to secure their eighth conference victory. Kylee Caetano added an insurance run in the top of the third.
Reigning GNAC Pitcher and Rookie of the Week, Hailey Berube, notched her 10th win of the season. The first-year right hander threw seven innings of one-run ball, striking out two Mariners batters.
