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.
You can watch the men’s game here.

The Raiders begin CCC play tonight. Women play at 5:30. Men play at 7:30. Get your snow shoes on and head out the door now.
Shasta Hall – Southern Oregon University
The campus will be a ghost town in another week, but there are some holiday lights between the new dorms (Shasta and McLoughlin Residence Halls).
I mentioned before that the men’s basketball team will face a tough opponent on Saturday night. However, while the pre-season coaches’ poll had Warner Pacific as SOU’s main competition, after the pre-season games, Concordia has moved into that position and up in the rankings to #13. SOU moved up one spot to #3. Concordia will be in Ashland Friday night. So come on out to the games. Women play at 5:30 and the men start at 7:30 both nights.

The first, regular-season edition of the NAIA Coaches’ Poll has the Lady Raiders in the #19 spot. The pre-season poll didn’t have them ranked at all, but an impressive 9-1 preseason featuring many blowout victories changed some coaches’ minds. Cascade Conference foes Oregon Tech (#16) and Eastern Oregon (#27) also received some votes, but the Raiders won’t be facing either team at home until late January.
This past Saturday night the Lady Raiders more than doubled the score of their opponents in their 102-43 victory over the Northwest Indian College Eagles. This little lady didn’t seem to mind that her mom’s team wasn’t winning. She just enjoyed her seat on the bench. Amazingly, she was quite well behaved and only ran on the court during timeouts.

Jordan West had 9 points for the Raiders against Simpson tonight
The Southern Oregon University Men’s Basketball Team beat Simpson (again) tonight to wrap up their pre-conference schedule with a 9-1 record. They may face their toughest home competition until the NAIA Tournament in March of 2014 this coming weekend as Warner Pacific was the coaches’ pick to come in second behind the Raiders. The Raiders will play Warner Pacific on Saturday night (and Concordia on Friday night). Both games will be in Ashland and begin at 7:30 following the women.

I mentioned a couple months ago about how my photos on souraiders.com sometimes get cropped (leaving out balls, hands, feet, etc. that were in the original). Today’s pics are some more that fit that category.
