\nSEPTEMBER SHUTDOWN
\nAfter allowing 13 goals in the team’s first five matches, head coach Travis Sobers<\/a> challenged his team to limit goal-scoring opportunities for the opposition to give the Raiders the best chance to win. The team has responded by allowing only four goals across its next seven matches in September, including a streak of four straight 1-0 shutouts. During the shutout streak, the Raiders played 437 minutes of match play without conceding a goal, spanning from the 58th minute against Bellarmine on September 4 and the 38th minute against IU Indy on September 28. Leigha Lauer<\/a>\u00a0and Sarka have both seen action between the posts over the three-game span. Sarka has recorded two solo shutouts, and Lauer has recorded one solo shutout. The pair split the shutout at Central Michigan, each playing 45 minutes.<\/p>\n
