After a 3-1-1 start, the Raiders have lost two straight, including their Missota Conference opener. They need a win to get the ship headed back in the right direction.
PLAYERS TO WATCH
• Avery Nelson (Northfield, forward)
The Raiders need someone to assert themselves and provide the offense that's been lacking lately—Northfield has scored one or fewer goals in three of its last four games after scoring 10 goals in their first two—and the senior captain is just the man for the job.
RAIDERS WIN IF …
They can keep Century from getting its offense going. The Panthers have scored just four goals in five games, and holding them to another low number would go a long way toward getting the Raiders back in the win column.
PANTHERS WIN IF ...
They can keep the game close early. One early goal might be all it takes to open the floodgates for Northfield, but if the Panthers can stay even for the first half or beyond, they might frustrate the Raiders and be able to steal a win.
