After a near miss on day one, Southern Oregon went 2-0 on day two to earn a Sunday game.
The Raiders beat Corban, with an offensive explosion (16-5), for the first time this year. The other four SOU-Corban games weren’t nearly as important as this one so their timing was good.
If SOU can get by Great Falls Sunday morning (11 a.m. start), they will earn a trip to Regionals. They will then need to beat Eastern Oregon twice to win the tournament. It seems a bit unfair that the Raiders will have to win five games to win the tournament while EOU will only need to win four (and Eastern didn’t have to play Oregon Tech–a team they didn’t beat all season), especially since SOU won the conference and was the #1 seed, but, unfortunately, that’s the nature of things.

The 3-day double-elimination tournament begins today and runs until Sunday. SOU plays at 2 today. Even though SOU is the #1 seed, they will be playing one of the two teams they had the most trouble with–Eastern Oregon or Corban. They’d much rather play Carroll, Great Falls, or even OIT in the first round, but that’s not how things worked out. The Raiders need to win at least twice to make Regionals.
