Alexa Gonzalez’s three-run home run and go-ahead two-run single, propelling SOU to a 7-5 victory Friday over #15 Concordia, earned her another Player of the Week award. She had a monster year as a junior for the Raiders. The season isn’t over quite yet. Southern Oregon begins the playoffs as the underdog this weekend in Klamath Falls and will be looking for some more upsets.

Members of the Southern Oregon University football, volleyball, soccer, and wrestling teams boarded buses this morning in Ashland to go to Salem. Some recent grads came down from Portland. Laurence Calcagno made a triumphant entry on his motorcycle.
Photos coming. You can find some on Twitter with the hastag #fundhighered
SOU was in second place when the baton was handed to Amelia Maguin for the anchor leg of the 4×100 relay.

Amelia Maguin broke the SOU record by .37 seconds in the 200 meters this past Saturday in Ashland. She also won the 100-meter hurdles and was on two winning relay teams (one pictured above). She opted not to compete in her best event (where she is ranked #1 in the entire NAIA with a time more than 2 seconds faster than anyone), the 400-meter hurdles, as there wasn’t any competition.

Yesterday saw the return of track and field to Raider Stadium for the first time in five years. Details here. Despite being April, the weather felt like summer. You won’t have to wait long to get in on the next competition in Ashland as Southern Oregon will also host the Cascade Conference Championships on May 8 and 9.

Three wins in their final six games (all on the road) will lock up a playoff spot for the Raiders. (Three losses by the team trailing them will result in the same fate, but winning is better than hoping for someone else to lose.)
P.S. Willie Nelson is coming to Britt this summer.

SOU softball – Davalin Ontiveros

Brianne Craig threw 178 pitches in game one against Corban this weekend, a game with as many “woulda, coulda, shouldas” as innings (10), but the Raiders came up short. Shutout for the first six innings, the Raiders won game two with a walk-off. Ontiveros led the way with two hits, a run, and SOU’s only RBI.
All in all, it was not a bad week for Southern Oregon softball. The Raiders split with the ranked teams and swept the unranked team. If they do as well or better for the rest of the season they will make the playoffs and possibly end up in the final rankings.
