The Red Raiders come close to knocking off Mainland for first time.

The Ocean City High School girls' swim team tied rival Mainland Regional High School, 85-85, on Tuesday afternoon in Linwood.

The Ocean City girls have never defeated Mainland Regional since Cape-Atlantic League girls' swimming was created in the early 2000s.

The Red Raiders won all but one event, but Mainland used its depth to keep the meet close.
