Alexandria Ellsworth's goal in the 73rd minute proved to be the game winner as the Raiders defense and goal keeper Kendyl Bjorkman shut out Lawrence Tech the remainder of the game.

Simonson would add another goal in the 87th minute to make it a 4-2 final. 

The Raiders resume conference play on Oct. 16, against No. 1 ranked Delta College.
