The Raptors faced their biggest challenge this season going against an undefeated and very talented Woodbury Royals team. Despite Woodbury breaking two pool records, it was an extremely tight contest. The meet was tied going into the final race of the evening, and the Raptors left everything in the pool, but the final result fell Woodbury’s way, stealing one from the Raptors, 92 to 87. The Raptors are fired up and back in action on Saturday at True Team Sections at Two Rivers Aquatic Center at 1pm. Go Raptors! Coach...
