Raiders snatch victory from the jaws of defeat

AJ Cooper’s two interceptions were crucial in yesterday’s win

Details here.

Massey had the Raiders as 4-point favorites at Eastern Oregon and SOU won by 4 points. SOU didn’t move on Massey, remaining at #4. Southern Oregon now heads into the easiest part of their schedule with home games against College of Idaho and Montana Western, followed by a road trip to Montana Northern. Massey has SOU as heavy favorites in all three games. The Raiders are 10-point favorites over the Yotes in Ashland this coming Saturday.

As predicted previously, SOU will have a hard time moving up more than one or two more spots in the coaches’ poll between now and the end of the regular season even if they win out. They will be stuck at #7 when the new rankings come out tomorrow, and the teams ahead of them are all heavy favorites for the next couple weeks.

Happy National Dessert Day

The 8-1 Raiders beat 5-2-1 Northwest 2-0 today. Southern Oregon currently has the most points in the 14-team Cascade Conference (as no other team has more than 6 wins). SOU is the only team to have beaten #10 Rocky Mountain, and yet the Raiders still aren’t receiving any votes in the coaches’ poll.

Happy Friday the 13th

As expected, the Raiders moved up one spot, with Montana Tech dropping to #11 in today’s NAIA Coaches’ Poll. Montana Western and Rocky Mountain are still not in the top 25 (even though Massey has them at #9 and #15). Eastern Oregon is #12 on Massey but is not receiving a single vote from the coaches (despite having beaten Montana Western). Compare them to Kansas Wesleyan who the coaches have at #25 and Massey has at #56!

A big win over Eastern Oregon this weekend, coupled with a tight game for Grand View, could move Southern Oregon up to #6 next week.

Go Raiders!

Idle Raiders up on Massey, should be up with coaches

The Raiders had a bye yesterday. Montana Western upset Montana Tech to put the Raiders in sole possession of first place in the Frontier Conference. The Raiders will still likely need to beat Tech on the road to win the conference. This week Southern Oregon will travel to Eastern Oregon. Massey has the Raiders up to #4 and a 4-point favorite in La Grande.

The new coaches poll comes out tomorrow. Look for the Raiders to slide past Tech into the #7 spot.
