River Falls will end first round play Thursday at home against Chippewa Falls (2-4-1), while Eau Claire Memorial will host Rice Lake (2-4-0). Both can leapfrog New Richmond and qualify for championship bracket play with wins. Hudson will finish its first round conference schedule Thursday at Superior (1-5-1).
Tuesday night in River Falls, the Raiders scored the only goal of the first half on a high, arcing shot by Grace Hanson from 25 yards out along the right hash marks in the 19th minute of the game.
The Raiders went up 2-0 off a corner kick in the third minute of the second half and Sophia Nault drilled a low shot from the left side on the run to the far post about 10 minutes later to make it a 3-0 game.
Hudson’s final goal came on a header by Natalie Ramthun off a corner kick with just over 15 minutes remaining.
BRC round-robin play will begin Thursday, May 18.
