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.

SOU softball – Megan Scherer “sliding” into third

@SOU_Softball @SOURaiders @megkegpegleg

Your last chance to catch the 10-4 Raiders at home for a while is today. They play two starting at 1 p.m. at University Field which is located at the corner of Iowa and Wightman Streets in Ashland. The weather looks great (should be close to 60 degrees and sunny), and there won’t be another home game until March 7.

The Raiders will be looking for a bit of revenge against the University of British Columbia today as UBC was the Raiders only loss to a team not ranked in the NAIA Top 10 or in the NCAA. More details on today’s games can be found here.

SOU softball – Kelsey Randall

@SOU_Softball @SOURaiders @Kelsee_R @SOU_WBB

Kelsey Randall was named the Cascade Conference Player of the Week for going 17-for-33 with five extra-base hits and seven steals in her first week on the team.

Ashley Claussen picked up an Honorable Mention in basketball even though the Raiders played only one game. Going 5-for-6 from 3-point range in addition to leading the team with six assists can make that happen.

SOU softball – Kelsey Randall

@SOU_Softball @SOURaiders @Kelsee_R @SOUWomensSoccer

League play doesn’t begin for another month, but the Southern Oregon University softball team has had their way with their opponents thus far. They will play eight games this weekend in California.

Freshman Kelsey Randall, a two-sport star for the Raiders, is leading the team in most offensive categories including average (.583), runs (12), and slugging percentage (.958). She turned a nifty double play from her shortstop position in yesterday’s victory.

Game time is 1 p.m. If you are late, no worries as it’s a doubleheader. The second game will begin at about 3 p.m. The weather looks great, no rain and highs in the upper 60s. Is this winter?
