WARSAW – The Northridge girls’ soccer team lived up to its’ lofty billing Saturday.

The Class 2-A No. 13 Raiders put an exclamation point on another Northern Lakes Conference season with an impressive 3-0 win at league foe Warsaw.

The contest was rescheduled from Thursday night after lightning forced the game to be stopped in the first half.

Northridge closed out regular season play at 13-1-2 overall and a perfect 7-0 in NLC action.  The Raiders had already clinched their fifth straight NLC championship prior to Saturday’s match.

The 1-2 punch of Lauren Blyly and Ellie Lengacher powered the Raiders to their 13th straight win on Saturday. Each had a goal and an assist in the second half of the victory. Blyly scored in the 65th minute, off an assist from Lengacher, to make it 2-0. Lengacher completed the 3-0 win with her goal, off an assist from Blyly, in the 79th minute.
