There’s always another game is a common-used cliche in sports, but come tournament-time that couldn’t be further from the truth. On this night, either the Bears of Greater New Bedford (GNB), the No. 4 seed at 17-4, or the Raiders of Watertown, the No. 13 seed at 10-2-7, would be left with no choice but to look back on a successful season, but left feeling empty. Unfortunately, it’s the Raiders left feeling that way after coming up short at Greater New Bedford 4-2 in the MIAA Div. 3 Round of 16 Boys Soccer Tournament.
