Last year’s CCC Player of the Year and All-American Ashley Claussen has landed in the Australian Premier League.

Last night was the fourth annual Raider Awards (AKA 2016 Black and Red All-Sports Awards) on the SOU campus. Always a fun event, it’s kind of sad to see the seniors go. Most of them will be walking this Saturday at 2016 Commencement.

Details here. What the article does not mention is that the Raiders won the trophy despite not having teams in several of the sports (like men’s golf, women’s golf, and baseball).

A strong 3rd quarter propelled the Raiders to the quarterfinals this afternoon. Details here.
Saturday’s game against Tabor will be shown at the RedZone at 4 p.m. Southern Oregon’s path to the championship may have become a bit easier as #1 seed St. Xavier and #2 seed Davenport both lost. The Raiders have the chance to get to the finals without facing a #2 or #1 seed. Today’s opponent, Briar Cliff, may have been the best team the Raiders will have to face before the finals. Massey thinks so anyway. Tabor won’t be easy, but they did lose to Briar Cliff earlier this season.

The Raiders won the Cascade Conference Tournament last night to go along with their regular season conference championship. Today the awards were announced, and, not surprisingly, Southern Oregon dominated them as well. Ashley Claussen won Player of the Year, Toria Bradford is the Defensive Player of the Year, Courtney Setzer is Freshman Player of the Year, and Alex Carlson is Coach of the Year. Autumn Durand and Carly Meister made the All-Conference Team (and could have each been Player of the Year as well were it not for Ashley). More details here.

Tonight’s winner moves on to the national tournament! Tonight’s loser moves on to the national tournament. So what’s the point? Besides winning the conference tournament, if SOU can win tonight, they will likely be a #1 seed in the national tournament (given that three of the teams ranked above the #5 Raiders have lost in their conference tournaments). Being a #1 seed at the national tournament can make a big difference. It means a team doesn’t have to play a team seeded #1 until no earlier than the final four. It means a team doesn’t have to play a team seeded higher than #2 or #3 until no earlier than the elite eight. So tonight’s result does the potential to drastically alter SOU’s final five games.
Here is a look at last year’s bracket. Note that no #2 or #3 seeds made the final four.
Go Raiders!

#5 Southern Oregon easily handled Northwest Christian tonight in Cascade Conference semifinal action in Ashland, 92-62. #4 St. Francis was upset at home. #2 St. Xavier also lost at home. SOU’s odds of moving up to the #4 or even #3 spot in the country improved greatly. They will need a win on Monday night against OIT to possibly seal the deal on a well-deserved #1 seed in the national tournament.
