NANAIMO — The VI Raiders snapped a two game losing streak Saturday night to get back to the .500 mark on the season.

The Raiders came from behind and stole a 16-13 decision from the Broncos at Kamloops’ Hillside Stadium.

The Broncos held a 10-point lead heading into halftime, but the Raiders defense stiffened in the second half, holding Kamloops off the scoreboard in the final 30 minutes.

VI QB Jake Laberge led a final-minute drive that was capped by a game-winning field goal from James Parker with just 19 seconds left on the clock.

The Nanaimo club is now 3-3 on the season and sit in fourth spot in the BCFC standings.
