March 3, 2025- Coach Kevin Cohen had every right to be pumped (above).

A dream season had hit a speed bump late, as the team dropped four of five games after a 14-game win streak, including an early exit in the Shore Conference tourney. But the resilient squad has rebounded, winning the first two games of the states, and are now poised to face Cherry Hill West on the road in the Group 3 semis tomorrow. At 20-7 and right in the mix in the state tournament, the Lady Raiders have every reason to smile (below). Good luck, tomorrow, girls!
