Tyana Andrews

@SOURaiders @RaiderVB @TyanaAndrews

Southern Oregon defeated NCAA DII UC Merced in straight sets tonight. Tyana Andrews led the charge with a .517 percentage, 16 kills, and 7 digs. SOU will be heavy favorites in tomorrow’s matches against Menlo and William Jessup as they already swept Menlo earlier this year and UC Merced defeated William Jessup earlier today. These matches will be the final tune ups before the Raiders begin conference play in Ashland next weekend, likely with a 7-0 record.

More details on SOU’s 1,000th volleyball win can be found here.

Until last year I only shot in RAW for difficult lighting conditions. Now I only shoot in RAW, even for outdoor sports. Yesterday I was on the road, without a computer, so I shot in both RAW and jpg. I sent some jpgs in for quick publication, and they showed up in places like here and here.

Back on my computer today I had the chance to process the same RAW files.

Bored with preseason NFL football? Me too. Well, next week’s game in Helena, Montana counts. Big time. The winner will be #1 in the best conference in the NAIA. The loser will have his work cut out for him. Go Raiders!

Guanajuato MiM group @ Crater Lake

@SOUAshland @UdeGuanajuato

Last summer I taught in Guanajuato, Mexico for SOU’s MiM program. One MiM student from Ashland traveled to Mexico to take the class. The Mexican students got to thinking that they should do what that Ashland student did and take a MiM class in Ashland. So this summer most of my class from last summer came to Ashland and took a class. On their off day we went to Crater Lake.

SOU volleyball – Laura Morse

@SOURaiders @RaiderVB

The SOU volleyball team ran their record to 4-0, including a defeat of another ranked team today. Previously 3-0 Hastings (ranked #22) was the first team to take the Raiders to five sets, but in the end Southern Oregon prevailed. Laura Morse had 8 digs, 7 kills, and a .462 hitting percentage in the earlier victory over Bellevue.
