At Springfield, Ill.

Quincy Notre Dame 1, Springfield 0: The Raiders rebounded from a pair of losses in a tournament in Burlington, Iowa, last Saturday with a stingy defensive effort against the Senators.

Raiders goalkeepers Aly Young and Addison Van Hecke combined for the shutout. QND is 13-3-3 overall.
