The Raiders and the Pride battled to keep possession throughout the contest, but after a scoreless first half, Hayden Bilodeau was able to get a touch on the ball generated by a Riv corner kick allowing first-year Mitchell Ward to tap in a backheel shot past the Regis keeper to put the Raiders up 1-0.
Minutes later, first-year Mathews Ferreira beat all of the Pride defenders and launched a shot into the lower left corner, with Ward being credited with the assist.
Riv outshot Regis, 23 to 16, although Regis did have one more corner kick than Rivier.
