The Raiders (4-2) took a big win from another very strong out of conference opponent. Riv continues to use a stifling defense to pull out wins. The Blue and Gray held the potent Beaver offense to just 52 points on 31% shooting from the field (21% from beyond the arc). Riv was able to pull away from a 2-point halftime deficit by controlling the boards, hitting free throws and taking care of the ball. The Raiders out-rebounded Farmington 28-14 and committed only 6 turnovers compared to their 11 in the final stanza.

Senior Jess Mellen (Rockland, MA) had her best overall performance of the young season. She finished with her fifth double-double (15 points and 13 rebounds) and added game-highs in both assists (6) and steals (6). Junior Steph Adams (Nashua, NH) dropped in a career-high 14 points to go with 7 rebounds, 2 blocks and 2 steals. Freshman Ashley Metivier (Hudson, NH) put the game out of reach by sinking 6 consecutive free throws in the final 3 minutes of play. Ashley finished with 12 points, 6 rebounds and 2 steals. Freshmen Mackenzie Brooks (Colebrook, NH) and Lauren Brett (Otisfield, ME) were also big contributors chipping in with a combined 15 points and 10 big rebounds.

The Raiders hit the road on Tuesday night for their only away game in the month of December. Riv takes on cross-town rival Daniel Webster College for a 7pm tip.
