From the CCC website:
“Southern Oregon’s David Sturner has been named the Red Lion Men’s Basketball Player of the week.
Sturner, a senior from Philomath, Oregon, had his ninth double-double of the season and sixth in seven games against No. 23 Cal Maritime. Sturner, who hit the go-ahead 3-pointer and scored consecutive buckets to put SOU up 7 with a minute left, now ranks 6th in the NAIA in RPG (10.6) and 16th in FG% (61.0).”
SOU’s 11-1 start has not gone unnoticed by the NAIA Division II Women’s Basketball Coaches’ Top 25 Poll as the Lady Raiders moved up two spots. Two other CCC opponents are in the Top 25. SOU plays Oregon Tech (#14) on 1/18/14 and Eastern Oregon (#24) on 1/25/14.
The Southern Oregon University Women’s Basketball Team will play their final four games of 2013 on the road, first in a non-conference game in Vallejo, California this Saturday against California Maritime. They will be back in Ashland on January 3, 2014 for their next home game.
SOU’s junior forward Eric Thompson was named the Player of the Week for last week’s performances against Simpson, Concordia, and Warner Pacific (all Raider wins). Autumn Durand received Honorable Mention for the women.
The Southern Oregon University Basketball Teams went 4-0 this weekend in Ashland. As mentioned previously, the challenges will come to the women in a little over a month. But what about the men?
Concordia was ranked in the Top 15, but the Raiders (ranked #3) beat them fairly easily. Warner Pacific was the pre-season pick to come in second (behind the Raiders) in the Cascade Conference, and that victory for SOU was even easier. Could the Raiders actually be 28-1 by the time they play Concordia on the road in late February? Perhaps it is way too early to make such a prediction, but a 28-1 record by 2/22/14 seems very possible at this point if Concordia and Warner Pacific are really the best two teams besides the Raiders in the CCC.
The #3 ranked Raiders defeated the #13 ranked Cavaliers of Concordia University (Portland) to quickly move to the top of the Cascade Conference standings. The Southern Oregon University Men and Women’s Teams will play again tomorrow night in Ashland (5:30 and 7:30 start times). Hopefully the roads will be a bit safer to drive on by then.
Southern Oregon University Raiders 117 – Concordia Cavaliers 94
Autumn Durand was the top scorer with 25 points.
The reason I’m getting this out there so quickly tonight is I’m not at the game. I thought I was going when the party I was going to got cancelled due to the snow, but then I went outside and realized that my car would never make it through the eight inches of snow in the driveway, let alone down the hill.
