Basketball season begins later this month. SOU is the favorite according to the coaches. Details here.
The Southern Oregon University Women’s Basketball Team landed three selections on the all-conference team, more than any other school in the Cascade Collegiate Conference. They also had the only sophomores on the team, Carly Meister and Kristen Schoenherr (erroneously listed as a senior). The full team can be seen here.
By virtue of upsetting the #1 seeded team last Friday night, the Lady Raiders’ season lives on. No one is more happy about that upset than the #2 seeded Owls of Oregon Tech because it means they get to play in the championship game at home in Klamath Falls instead of on the road. In addition, they have beaten SOU twice this season already. However, that’s what Eastern was thinking when SOU came for a visit. Hopefully, the result will be the same in K Falls as it was in La Grande.
The SOU Women’s Basketball Team just beat the #1 seed to move on to the finals in the Cascade Conference Championships.
Allison Gida scored 20 points, had 10 rebounds, and 4 assists. Carly Meister was even more impressive with 24 points, 10 rebounds, and 5 assists.
Allison Gida and Carly Meister are scoring often for the Raiders early in this playoff game. The EOU site provides continuous updates, almost as good as a video feed or a radio broadcast.
30-28, SOU leads…
With Tuesday’s victory over Evergreen in Ashland, the Southern Oregon University Women’s Basketball Team earned the right to take on the #1 seed (Eastern) in the conference. The problem is that Eastern Oregon has a league best 12-1 home record. The good news is that SOU has a league best 10 wins on the road. It’s time for an upset in SOU’s favor.
Thanks to last weekend’s nightmare road trip for the Southern Oregon Men’s Basketball Team, they have dropped out of the rankings for the first time this year. A win this Wednesday night (against Northwest Christian on 2/27/14) won’t be enough, but it will be a start. They will also need to win a couple of road playoff games after winning on Wednesday to make it to the NAIA Championship Tournament.
