The Raiders (12-4; 3-1) ran into a very deep and talented team from Emmanuel College. The result was the worst loss for Riv all season. The visitors had a couple of bright spots including pulling down a game-high 21 offensive rebounds. They also took extremely good care of the ball as they committed just 14 turnovers. It was clear that the 4 tough road games in 7 days took its toll on the young Raider squad. They managed just 14 field goals and shot just 14 of 28 from the charity stripe.

Senior Jess Mellen (Rockland, MA) played an inspired 29 minutes. She pulled down a game-high 11 rebounds (6 offensive) to go with 6 assists and 3 steals. Junior Steph Adams (Nashua, NH) and sophomore Amandra Purcell (Hudson, NH) were the only double figure scorers for the Blue and Gray. They finished with 10 points apiece and combined for 7 rebounds and 3 assists.

The Raiders have a much needed and deserved break as they do not play again until Saturday. It is back to the friendly confines of the Muldoon Center for a showdown against the Wildcats of Johnson & Wales University - game time is 1pm.
