SP-F Crushed By Immaculata, 41-0

The Raiders were up against a team that rarely loses a home game.

The Raiders suffered a crushing blow Friday night against Immaculata.

Immaculata is a perennial parochial state power that rarely loses a home game on its turf in Somerville. Last night was no different, as the Spartans took down the Raiders, 41-0.

This was the first time Scotch Plains has played Immaculata in a regular season game because of the new conference this year. The teams used to scrimmage together.
