The Lake Roosevelt Lady Raiders soccer team goes 2-6 overall after Saturday’s 4-0 loss to Okanogan in a non-league game. “Okanogan is a very competitive team,” Head Coach Casey Moore said. “Their coach and team exemplified sportsmanship and dedica- tion.” Moore was impressed with the support from the Raider fans. “You would not have been able to tell by the roar of Lake Roosevelt’s crowd who was winning the game,” she said. “Our team was very supported and played an excellent game. Overall our team is progressing each week.” The Lady Raiders soccer team is ranked fourth out of seven teams in the league with a 2-5 win-loss record for league play.
