Rider Girls Varsity Soccer Team is on fire right now and have made it to THE FINAL FOUR!!! In Friday’s round-of-16 state match, we fired off 12 shots on goal, setting the tone for an incredible performance. And if that wasn’t enough, we followed it up with a huge comeback victory over Eastside Catholic, sending us back to Sparks Stadium for the Semifinals! Now, we’re laser-focused on the state finals next Saturday, but first we have to get through Bellevue HS on Friday. It’s the ultimate chance for redemption – they were the team that denied us our first state title two years ago. Come support to avenge their loss! We need YOU THERE AND LOUD!!!
