#9 MidAmerica Nazarene University from Kansas will be traveling to Southern Oregon next weekend (11/22/14) for the first round of the NAIA football playoffs. A quick look at their schedule shows they have only played one decent team en route to their 9-1 record. They beat Missouri Valley at home by 3 points. They lost to a sub-.500 team (Central Methodist) on the road last month.
The Raiders will need to rebound from this past weekend, but they should be heavy favorites going into this important game.

Although the regular season is over, this season is far from over. The Cascade Conference and NAIA tournaments await.
Ashland High School volleyball – Olivia Rooney and Myla Norvell
The Grizzlies headed up I-5 to Central Point to take on the first place Crater Comets last night. The place was packed, hot, and loud. Ashland won the first set, but ultimately didn’t come out victorious. Crater had won all 18 of their previous home sets this year so Ashland did do something unprecedented even if they didn’t end up with a W.
Ashland did not fall in the rankings. Assuming they remain at #7 after Friday’s match and Saturday’s tournament, they will have a home play-in game on Tuesday, October 28 against South Albany, currently ranked #25. Assuming Ashland wins that one, they will then have a home game against #10 Marist on November 1. If the rankings change, they could end up playing #9 Crescent Valley or #11 Pendleton.

The Southern Oregon University volleyball team swept Corban and Northwest Christian these past two days on the road. They are now 11-1 in the conference and will be big favorites in Ashland for next weekend’s contests.
SOU volleyball – Brookelynn Cole (10)
@SOURaiders @RaiderVB
Last week’s road win was enough to earn the Raiders a spot in the top 10 in the national NAIA rankings this week. They have games at Corban and NCU this weekend.
The Raiders are playing in Klamath Falls tonight.
Ashland High School has a home game this evening against Eagle Point.
Both games will start at about 7 p.m.
SOU women’s volleyball – Emma Gasman with the kill
@SOURaiders @RaiderVB
With last night’s win at Northwest, the Southern Oregon University women’s volleyball team moved into a three-way tie for first place in the Cascade Conference. They play again tonight against Evergreen State College. Their next game in Ashland is on October 24.
SOU volleyball – Shelby Young
@SOURaiders @RaiderVB
Last night’s victory was a crazy affair. The lead changed 21 times and the score was tied 42 times, including 15 times in the final set! Sporting events don’t get any more exciting.
Note that tonight’s match (against College of Idaho) will be an early start, 5 p.m. instead of the normal 7 p.m. The Raiders and Yotes have identical conference records. This may be another barn burner that you don’t want to miss.
