Reynolds Raiders Boys Soccer 2-0 Nelson

A clean sheet at home pushed Reynolds boys soccer past Nelson 2-0 on Thursday evening in Troutdale, Oregon, in a Mt. Hood Conference (6A) league matchup that carried real playoff implications for both sides. The Raiders controlled the contest from start to finish, holding Nelson scoreless while finding the net twice to secure a result that moved them to 6-6-2 on the season and 3-2 in conference play. After entering the night at 5-6-2, Reynolds needed a performance like this one to stay in the mix for a postseason berth, and the defense delivered with a shutout effort that gave the team a much-needed confidence boost heading into the final stretch of the regular season. Nelson, unable to generate sustained pressure, left Troutdale without a point. Reynolds will look to build on this momentum as league competition tightens in the coming weeks, with every result now carrying added weight in the standings race.
