Power of prayer

I’m sure SOU soccer player, Presley Lambert, made this half-court shot a couple years ago, with Rocky Raider praying so fervently and all…

Making the cut

My random, desktop image of the day. I think my favorite part is #43 and #44 on the far right.
Raiders may be one win away from a #1 seed
Ashley Claussen scored 20 points (and also had four assists and two steals) in 23 minutes tonight

#5 Southern Oregon easily handled Northwest Christian tonight in Cascade Conference semifinal action in Ashland, 92-62. #4 St. Francis was upset at home. #2 St. Xavier also lost at home. SOU’s odds of moving up to the #4 or even #3 spot in the country improved greatly. They will need a win on Monday night against OIT to possibly seal the deal on a well-deserved #1 seed in the national tournament.
Raiders advance to semis

Two things are similar about this year’s basketball teams. They are both perfect at home, and they are both advancing to the semifinals. Beyond that the games couldn’t look more different. The men’s team is 12-0 in close games, while the women are 23-0 in blowouts.
Catch the women this Friday night at 7 and the men on Saturday night at the same time. Both games will be at Ashland High School.

Players and Team of the Week
Kelsey Randall
@SOU_Softball @SOURaiders @Kelsee_R
A 5-1 weekend, including two wins over ranked teams, netted the Raiders Team of the Week honors yesterday. Today Kelsey Randall was named Offensive Player of the Week, and 6-0 Victoria Mackey was named Pitcher of the Week. Randall is a sophomore and Mackey is a freshman. The future looks bright for SOU softball.
#1 seed?
Carly Meister

The SOU women’s basketball team’s winning ways, combined with a couple key upsets, could earn them a #1 seed in the national tournament. The Raiders ended the regular season with a 26-1 record.
Saint Xavier, ranked #1 before tonight, dropped their regular season finale to #12 Stritch in OT on the road. They will likely fall to somewhere between #3 and #5 in the rankings.
Marian, ranked #3 before last night, dropped their final two games of the regular season. They lost to a 5-23 team on the road before losing their home finale tonight. They will likely drop out of the top eight with those losses.
#6 SOU will move up at least one spot in the rankings. If they don’t move ahead of Saint Xavier they will need to sweep the conference playoffs at home and hope for another upset of a higher ranked team to crack the top four and receive a #1 seed in the national tournament.

Megan Winton hits her first home run of the season

Winton’s HR was a two-run shot, and the Raiders went on to win over #18 Vanguard in California. Sydney White pitched the first five for the Raiders.
The Raiders beat #20 Biola later in the day by the same score.

After a 3-0 week, Massey Ratings has the 24-1 Raiders in the top 4, a position they need to get to in the coaches’ poll in order to receive a #1 seed in the national tournament. The coaches had SOU at #6 last week, and the teams ahead of SOU did not lose so it is doubtful the coaches will change things.
The coaches have College of the Ozarks at #4 while Massey has them at #14. Also, note that Massey is counting SOU’s exhibition loss to San Jose State, an NCAA Division 1 school, as a regular game.
