The Lady Raider softball team got exactly what it needed tonight when freshman Kiley Jacobus tossed the first no-hitter of her career in a 1-0 shut out of the Park View Patriots.  Jacobus allowed two base runners on a hit batter and a walk while the Raider defense did the rest.  The Raiders didn't commit an error and Jacobus struck out 7 in the complete game win.  She got all the run support she would need in the second when Renay Aubel was driven in by Sarah Nordseth after walking, moving to second on a passed ball, going to third on a Katie Graff single then scoring on Nordseth's hit to right.  Aubel also walked in the sixth for LCHS's only other base runner. This moves the Raiders to 7-9 (4-4 district) who host Briar Woods in a make up contest Thursday May 6th in Leesburg at 6 P.M.
