It was more of the same in the second half for the Raiders, who had seven players score at least four points.

Rudi Derrick (eight), Kyndall Seal (six), Charly Johnson (six), Heather Tetro (five) and Renee McLeod (four) pitched in buckets for the Red and White, which notched its 10th straight victory.
