The Lakers continued their hot streak in their National Junior College Athletic Association (NJCAA) Region III matchup with the Raiders, defeating the team, 7-1. Lakers Sophomore Jenna Tenney (Canandaigua, N.Y./ Canandaigua) got the Lakers rolling with a high-arching shot in the 4th minute that would sail over the goalie for the goal, unassisted. The Raiders would score the equalizer in the 18th minute before Freshman Ella Lewis (Lyndonville, N.Y./ Lyndonville) would score on a well-placed pass from teammate Natalie Lecceardone (Manchester, N.Y./ Red Jacket) in the 42nd for the goal.

Lewis would extend the Laker's lead to 2 just two minutes later with an unassisted goal in the 44th minute. Lewis would head into the second half with a brace; however, Lewis would quickly extend her team's lead and secure the hat trick with a goal in the 46th minute, assisted by teammate Natalie Lecceardone.

Lakers Freshman Ella Lewis would quickly return the favor to Natalie Lecceardone, feeding her teammate for a goal in the 46th minute, extending the Laker's lead to 5-1. Freshman Sierra Sommer (Mt. Morris, N.Y./ Mt. Morris) would score her first goal of the season, assisted by Sophomore teammate Allie Bowe (Victor, N.Y./ Victor). In the 86th minute, Freshman Ella Lewis would chip in the Laker's 7th and final goal of the day, securing the haul and concluding what would be a statement victory over their NJCAA Region III opponent. 

Sophomore goalie Grace Hall (Honeoye, N.Y./ Honeoye) would pick up her third win of the season in goal. With one goal allowed in the matchup, Hall continues to impress in the early season with a total of two goals allowed in four games.
