"I can't say enough about their competitiveness.This team just refuses to lose."
Alli Wiggins netted the game's lone goal, 10 minutes into the second half on a sweet cross from Courtney Walsh, The Raiders made it stick.
"We knew we weren't going to have many chances, so we had to make this one stick," said Grange. "Our back line (Darion Summers, Erin Berube, Beth May and Maggie Carey) was a brick wall.
"Alexa Poulin was dynamite shadowing their top player, too,"
Lauren Flynn made six saves as the 15-0-4 Raiders posted shutout No. 11 on the year.
