The Raptors maintained their first place standing with a 2-1 win over the Penfield Strikers Wednesday night.
The Raptors had a one goal lead at half with a goal from Abby Scanlan. Scanlan played Halee Passarell in for a breakaway, and after the Penfield goalkeeper took Passarell out with no play on the ball, the Raptors were awarded a penalty kick. Scanlan stepped up to the kick and put her shot far right past the Penfield keeper diving left.
About halfway through the second half, Penfield was able to even the scoring off a cross through the box and a quick finish in close. Scanlan would earn the game winning goal late in the game, when her corner kick was kicked in on a Penfield own goal.
The Raptors face off next against the second place Gananda Bandits in a battle for first place. Kick off is set for 6:30 on Tuesday July 19 at Genesee Community College.
