Emma Gasman had 10 blocks in the Raiders’ victory against Westmont and 12 more in SOU’s win against Vanguard (ranked 18th in the nation). Her offense wasn’t bad either as she had 32 kills over the weekend.
The Raiders Volleyball Team will have their first home match next week (9/4/14).

Once upon a time, less than a year ago, my photos that showed up on souraiders.com were frequently too small to see and/or cropped in such a way that balls and heads were cut off. The new Raiders site is much improved, with bigger photos, and less cropping. The photo of today’s soccer game was cropped a bit. This is mostly my fault for not cropping it to fit on the SOU site correctly, but I wanted to give you the full photo in case you are interested.

The game this weekend is in California. First “home” game is September 6 at Ashland High School as the field at Raider Stadium isn’t ready yet.

Megan McArthur and Caylin Jackson scored for the Raiders yesterday in their 2-0 victory over Marymount. They play again on Monday (8/25/14) at 11 a.m. at Medford’s U.S. Cellular Fields

School doesn’t begin for another six weeks, but sports begin much earlier than classes. SOU’s new soccer field is not yet ready so this weekend’s tournament (featuring Marymount California University, Concordia, and The Master’s College in addition to SOU) will be held at the U.S. Cellular soccer fields in Medford.
SOU plays at 2:30 on Saturday (8/23/14) and 11 on Monday (8/25/14). Tickets are available here.
All the world is abuzz with the World Cup currently happening in Brazil. On a more local level, SOU’s soccer team will be playing on a new field this fall. The old football turf is currently being torn out and will soon be replaced with a new, artificial surface for the football and soccer teams. In addition, we will finally be able to host track and field events again.
@mconforto8 Congratulations to Michael Conforto for his high draft pick today! A pick this high should net him about $3 million if he gives up his senior season at OSU.
I took today’s photo last season. Conforto had just broken a 0-0 tie against the Ducks with a home run. He had 31 such dingers during his three years with the Beavers. More impressive perhaps was his consistently high batting average and on base percentage. In over 175 games he maintained a .341 batting average and .463 on base percentage.
