I went to bed at this point:

And woke up to this news.

Unfortunately, SOU has little chance of ever winning the NAIA Directors’ Cup for an entire year given the way the points are calculated. Standings are based on a school’s best 13 teams. The points are not weighted for things like number of sports or number of teams competing in a given sport. Therefore, schools with more teams and more teams in lower-participation sports (golf, tennis, swimming, cheer, dance, etc.) will score higher when all is said and done. If proper weighting was done (more points for higher-participation sports like softball and volleyball–there are over 220 volleyball teams in the NAIA but only 29 schools participating in swimming so if a school comes in 5th place in volleyball (like SOU did) they’ll score only half as many points as a school that comes in 5th place in both men’s and women’s swimming) and final points were divided by the number of teams that competed, Southern Oregon probably would have come in at #1 in each of the past four or five years. No team that has ranked higher than SOU in the final standings has only 13 teams (like SOU does). Most have 17 or more teams so they get to drop their lowest four or more teams a year. Last year’s winner, for instance, had 17 teams. The runner up had 22 teams!

SOU landed, not one but, two volleyball players on the NAIA All American list today. Neither is a senior so look for another amazing season in 2019. Details here.

SOU swept through their second opponent in as many days this afternoon in Iowa. Jamestown, who Southern Oregon beat yesterday, upset #7 Viterbo leaving SOU as the only undefeated team in the pool. The Raiders will face Viterbo at 2 p.m. PST Thursday.
The four Cascade Conference teams (SOU, EOU, College of Idaho, and Corban) in the final 32 teams are a combined 7-0 in pool play. It’s very possible all four will advance to the final 16.
