#8 Raider women play tonight
@SOURaiders @SOU_WBB
The first round of the CCC tourney begins tonight in Ashland at 7 p.m. The 25-3 Raiders are already a lock for the 2015 NAIA National Women’s Basketball Tournament, which begins March 11 in Sioux City, Iowa, but a strong showing in the CCC tournament can earn them one of the top seeds (and possibly weaker opponents in the early rounds) in the national tournament.
A win tonight against College of Idaho will give them another home game in the second round of the conference tourney on Friday. More details can be found here.
P.S. The rankings just came out and SOU is still at #8. Only one other team with 3 or fewer loses is outside of the top four. There is probably some middle-of-the-country bias against teams in the west (like in the NAIA football rankings which tend to penalize Frontier Conference teams) so the Raiders will need to prove themselves at the national tournament.
Softball Players of the Week
SOU softball – Alexa Gonzalez is hitting .482 so far this season
@SOURaiders @A_Dirty3 @SOU_Softball @brickhouse_1
It’s pretty unusual for the CCC to pick both their offensive and defensive players of the week from the same team, but the SOU Raiders had a pretty unusual week going 6-0, including a 4-1 victory over the #10 team in the country. This is a pretty unusual team, with their 16-4 record and roster made up of seven freshmen. They were picked to come in 5th place in the CCC, and, although the CCC games haven’t begun, this team looks better than a 5th place team.
Southern Oregon University softball – Cheyenne Bricker is 7-1 with a 2.39 ERA
Senior night
SOU men’s basketball – Senior Eric Thompson
@SOURaiders
Tonight the last regular season home basketball games will be played which means it’s senior night. Women start at 5:30 and men start at 7:30. Tonight’s games will have playoff implications so come on out and support the Raiders.
Tim Weber to be drafted by the Patriots
@SOURaiders @TimWeber14
I understand the New England Patriots are looking for players with Tim Weber’s set of skills; they’ve got their eye on what he can do to the ball.
Cleopatra Degher @ Club 66

Cleopatra (who grew up mostly in Malmö, Sweden) is heading south. She played in Ashland last night and will be in Sacramento tomorrow night. Check her out if you can. Beautiful stuff.
SOU softball begins season in California
SOU softball – Julia Willison (back in 2012)
@SOU_Softball @SOURaiders @juliacoolia16
Coach Jessica Pistole makes her debut for the Raiders today. A new era begins with a much deeper team (20 players compared to last year’s 14), including seven freshmen on the roster. More details here.
P.S. “The Whole Picture” for what you see under the above “here” link can be found here.
Lucky number 13
SOU women’s basketball – #13 Bree Park
@SOURaiders @SOU_WBB @Breezyyy_13
The latest rankings have the 19-3 Southern Oregon University women’s basketball team at #13 again. The basketball teams will be hitting the road for Washington this weekend. They play Northwest on Friday and Evergreen on Saturday.

Happy Super Bowl Sunday
@SOURaiders @SOU_Football
I’m pretty sure I don’t have any photos of the Seahawks or the Patriots so today’s photo is the next best thing, next year’s Super Bowl starting quarterback shooting from half court in a Seakawks’ jersey.
