CLINTON, N.C. — Starting its final week of the regular season Tuesday, the Richmond Senior High School girls soccer team couldn’t get back in the win column.

Taking a break from Sandhills Athletic Conference action, the Lady Raiders traveled to non-conference Clinton High School.

Dropping its fourth consecutive match, Richmond suffered a 2-0 loss to the Lady Dark Horses.

Unable to find the back of the net, the Lady Raiders were shut out for the sixth time in their last seven matches.

Clinton (13-7), which is in first place of the 2A Southeastern Athletic Conference standings, netted a goal in each half.

The Lady Raiders (7-10-3, 3-6-1 SAC) return to SAC action Thursday and will try to end their losing streak at Scotland High School (2-13-1, 0-10 SAC). The varsity match will start at 6 p.m.
