After suffering their first loss in 2013 the Lady Raiders of Nemaha Valley went on the road to try and avenge a loss earlier this season in Seneca against the Chargers of Santa Fe Trail, as the Chargers won that game by 18 points. This time was a different story the Raiders have been playing great and even the loss to Sabetha almost earned the win and gave the Chargers all they could handle but Santa Fe Trail held on late for the 49-42 win.

It was tied after the first quarter of action 17-17 with each team trading blows back and forth, Santa Fe Trail then outscored Nemaha Valley by four in the second period to have a four-point lead at the half. Coming out of the half the Raiders closed the lead to one after three quarters, but down the stretch couldn't surpass the Chargers as they hit some free throws to close the game.

Both team say a balanced scoring night with only one player for each team hitting the double figure mark on the night. For the Chargers, senior, Dani Jo Kuney lead they way with 10 points, while senior, Holly UIlery and junior, Shelby Dahl each added nine points.

Nemaha Valley on the night was lead by senior, Ashley Rottinghaus as she tallied 10 points, while sophomore's, Jaci Swart and Kennedy McKernan both added seven points on the road.

Nemaha Valley with the loss falls to 9-6 on the season and sets up for another tough road game on Tuesday when they will play Holton (Game will be broadcasted on 103.9 KNZA).
