Riverdale Ridge is a perfect 3-0 against Northglenn since September of 2024 and they'll have a chance to extend that dominance on Monday. The Ravens are taking a road trip to face off against the Norsemen at 4:30 p.m. Riverdale Ridge is strutting in with some hitting muscle as they've averaged 12.4 runs per game this season.

Riverdale Ridge is coming in fresh off a high-stakes matchup with another one of Colorado's top teams: Holy Family, who was ranked sixth at the time (Riverdale Ridge was ranked 16th). The Ravens fell 6-3 to the Tigers on Saturday. It was the first time this season that the Ravens let down their fans at home.

Aubri Lerch spent all eight innings on the mound, and it's clear why: she surrendered four earned (and two unearned) runs on eight hits.

On the hitting side, Peyton Saenz made the most of her time in the batter's box despite the final result and got on base in three of her four plate appearances with one home run and one stolen base.

Centaurus hit Northglenn with a four-run third inning on Saturday, which goes a long way in explaining the final result. The Norsemen came up short against the Warriors, falling 7-1.

Northglenn saw two different players step up and record at least one hit. One of them was Brooklynn Hendrick, who went 1-for-3 with one run and one double.

Northglenn's defeat dropped their record down to 6-10. As for Riverdale Ridge, they suffered their first home loss, dropping their record down to 12-5.

Riverdale Ridge took their victory against Northglenn when the teams last played on September 3rd by a conclusive 14-2 score. The rematch might be a little tougher for the Ravens since the squad won't have the home-field advantage this time around. We'll see if the change in venue makes a difference.
