SOU Women’s Basketball

The Raiders are currently tied for fourth place with two games to go. They are just one game out of second place and just one game out of sixth place! The top four team will host the first round of the Cascade Conference Playoffs which begin next week. Tonight they face Warner Pacific at 5:30 in Portland. The playoff picture will clear up after tomorrow night’s games.

I spent yesterday on the sidelines of the Ducks-Utes game in Eugene. The weather wasn’t too bad. In fact, it only rained during the pregame. It was mostly cloudy the rest of the time, but I can’t complain. A day game without rain is more than I expected.
I took nearly 900 photos and have only looked at about 50 at this point. I’ll post some more here soon.
After Austin Dodge escaped from the clutches of an Oredigger, he threw his first touchdown pass of the day (10/5/13)
Yesterday Austin Dodge broke the SOU Raiders touchdown passing record by throwing eight of them. He held the prior record of six (set last season) along with the current University of Oregon coach, Mark Helfrich.
Colin Amsler drops back to punt, but begins to run with the ball instead.
He broke a couple near tackles in the process.
Colin Amsler put a few moves on as he headed down the field…
…before finally getting hit and going head…
… over heals for a 16-yard gain and a Raider first down.
The Southern Oregon University Football Team won yesterday’s contest against Montana Tech 59-32.

If you thought playing rugby in a prom dress would be difficult, try running in a prom dress when the grass is about six inches too long too.

Mitchell Lofstedt – SOU’s Wrestler of the Year for 2013 and Legacy Award Winner
Mitchell Lofstedt had an incredible collegiate career at SOU. He earned the most career wins, highest winning percentage, most wins in one season, and three individual national championships. In addition, he lead the Raiders to three second-place finishes in the NAIA Team National Championships.
SOU Women’s Soccer Team
A couple weeks ago I was asked to take photos at the first, annual 2013 Black and Red All-Sports Awards Banquet. The event worked sort of like an academy awards show with the athletes in formal dress. Three players from each SOU sports team were part of the voting block. There were nominees for various awards like athlete of the year for each sport, play of the year, coach of the year, etc.
Today’s photo was taken after the event and includes much of the Women’s Soccer Team. The finalists for soccer athlete of the year were Alyssa Bricker and Stephanie Carr. I’ll show you the winner in a future post.
Melissa “Moe” Sweat dominated OIT to almost single handedly propel the SOU Raiders to victory a couple weeks ago
Friday and Saturday night basketball games at home this weekend for the Southern Oregon University teams. Friday night is Breast Cancer Awareness Night and Saturday is Senior Night as it will likely be the last home game of the season for the women’s team. The men will likely host at least one Cascade Conference playoff game beginning next week.
