PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Leah Becker fell in the third doubles match of the day but came back and helped the Raiders with their overall victory in singles play. Becker's singles opponent was far from a pushover though. The senior had to take on Sky Pope, one of the Warriors top doubles players. Becker was not phased however, taking her down in straight sets 6-4 and 6-1.
WHAT'S NEXT
The Raiders are done for the fall and will now look forward to the spring slate. The regular season will pick back up with their first conference matchup when they take on Concordia Chicago on April 3rd, 2021.
