The Lowville Raiders spoiled Potsdam's season opener with a 12-6 win at SUNY Potsdam on Saturday.  In a non-league contest, the Raiders edged out to a 3-2 lead after the first quarter and  6-3 at the half.  Potsdam closed the gap to 7-5 early in the fourth quarter, but the Raiders owned the rest of the contest scoring five straight goals.  For Potsdam, Jason Soucis netted four goals.  Corey McGregor dished out four assists.  Adam Webster contributed a goal and an assist, while Corey Bercume rounded out the scoring with a goal.  Jack Mullaney stopped 13 shots, while Ryan Leroux made two saves in fourth quarter action.  Coach Todd Kaiser told NCSN that he was pleased with how his team battled.  "We made a couple of key turnovers that opened their scoring at the end.  We have to work on our spacing, getting new guys used to the system, winning more faceoffs and getting more scoring especially from our midfielders."
