ROCKINGHAM – The Richmond Senior High School Raider Soccer Team continues clawing at the win column ending their second consecutive game with a tie last Wednesday.
The Raiders and Vikings went more than 100 minutes without a score, halting the game with a 0-0 tie and marking the second consecutive stalemate for the Raiders, who finished the previous game in a 1-1 tie with Jack Britt thanks to a goal by senior Noah Gill in the final 2 minutes.
“I think we left some chances out there. We did not capitalize. We did not come out of the game, and play as well I as I expecting. On the flip side, we did not give up anything stupid. We tried to shoot ourselves in the foot early, but [Camden Williams, keeper] did a good job,” Raider coach Chris Larsen said.
Although ending in a 0-0 tie, Wednesday’s game did have a few statistical highlights. Gil nearly hit pay dirt on two occaissions, but could not find the back of the net. Williams had a solid night with a trio of saves, but credited his defenders for doing the heavy lifting Wednesday.
