SOU ROUNDUP It's the Knights' night No. 16 Warner Pacific takes down No. 19 Southern Oregon Comment By SOU Sports Information DailyTidings.com By SOU Sports Information Posted Feb. 21, 2015 @ 2:00 am By SOU Sports Information Posted Feb. 21, 2015 @ 2:00 am » Social News Earl Jones couldn't miss during a career-best performance, and neither could most of his teammates in 16th-ranked Warner Pacific's 90-78 victory Friday night at 19th-ranked Southern Oregon. Jones went 10-for-13 to score a season-high 27 points with five assists for the Knights (23-6 overall, 13-4 Cascade Conference), who shot 57 percent as a team - including 18-for-28 in the second half. The Raiders (22-7, 11-6) were unable to get the defensive stops needed to break through. Now they need a win in today's final game of the regular-season against 11th-ranked Concordia to secure the No. 4 seed and a first-round home game in the CCC tournament. The game is scheduled for a 7:30 p.m. start at Riehm Arena. Doug Thomas scored 19 points, Coletun Tarr had 18 on 5-for-6 shooting and Michael Hall made all four of his attempts for eight points and seven rebounds. Ryan Parks was 4-for-7 from 3-point range in the first half, helping the Knights build a 36-32 lead. SOU's Jordan West totaled 21 points and 11 rebounds for his second 20-10 game and third double-double of the season. Ben DeSaulnier scored 20 points, Tim Weber had 11 assists and 11 rebounds, and Eric Thompson chipped in 13 points and five boards. It wasn't enough for the Raiders to overcome WPC's torrid shooting. Raider guard Justin Martin hit three from downtown, but what looked to be his fourth triple rattled in and out with just over nine minutes left. A make would've closed the gap to two points, and one minute later buckets by Jones and Thomas took the Knight lead to 67-57. West's layup cut it to 69-64 with 6:28 left, but Thomas came right back with a 3-pointer to start a 7-0 surge. Thomas was 7-for-12 in the second half after going 1-for-6 in the first. Jones made all six of his attempts - including two triples - after halftime. The Knights swept the season series for the first time in five seasons. Women's Basketball The eighth-ranked Southern Oregon women's basketball team was in cruise control early before asserting itself in the second half in time to bank another blowout win Friday night, 82-56 over Warner Pacific at Riehm Arena. Six players scored nine or more for the Raiders, who improved to 24-3 overall and 14-3 in the Cascade Conference while running their home win streak to 15 games dating back to last season. First-place Eastern Oregon won 64-56 at Northwest University, meaning SOU has to win its tilt today with Concordia and hope for a Mountaineer loss at Evergreen State to earn a share of the CCC title. Both regular-season finales tip off at 5:30 p.m. SOU was led by Courtney West's 13 points and seven rebounds; Kristen Schoenherr's 11 points, six rebounds, four assists and two steals; Ashley Claussen's 11 points, six rebounds and three steals; and Alexi Smith's 10 points and seven boards. Tiani Bradford had nine points, six rebounds and four assists off the bench, while Carly Meister added nine points and four boards. Schoenherr, Smith and West combined for 22 points on 8-for-13 shooting after halftime, helping the Raiders expand a nine-point lead with a 46-29 advantage in the second. Jordan Wilcox scored 14 of her game-high 24 points in the second half for the Knights (11-18, 4-13). WPC shot 30 percent in the game, and SOU pounced by going 19-for-31 in the second period. What was a 30-26 SOU lead with two minutes left in the first became 47-33 at the 15-minute mark. The Raiders have won their last three home games by an average of 29 points. WPC's Lindsay Loe and Kasara Brandenburg went for eight and seven points, respectively. College Softball At Happy Valley, Southern Oregon pitchers Brianne Craig and Sydney White took different paths through their complete games but produced similar results in two Raider wins Friday at the Northwest Cup. In SOU's opener, a 4-1 win against Great Falls (Mont.), Craig danced around 13 baserunners (she allowed 11 hits and walked two) but kept the Argos off the board until the seventh inning. White then spun a one-hit shutout in SOU's 5-0 win against British Columbia, striking out five with two walks. Raider hurlers have yielded one earned run in 28 innings this week. The Raiders are 14-4 with games today at 9 a.m. against Simpson (Calif.) and 1 p.m. against Lewis & Clark. SOU's lineup was productive as well, getting four hits and four RBIs from Megan Scherer and Alexa Gonzalez's second home run of the season. The Raiders totaled 10 hits in the first win and eight in the second. Craig worked with runners on in every inning against the Argos (1-1) but didn't crack until Kirstie Thomas singled in Mindy Larson in the seventh. Scherer singled home Sulie Augustine in SOU's two-run first inning and she doubled in Augustine in the third. Augustine went 2-for-2 with two free passes, Kelsey Randall had a hit and two runs, and both stole a two bases. Cortney Nolan had a pair of singles. In the nightcap, Gonzalez gave the Raiders a lead with her solo blast in the fourth. During a four-run fifth inning, Augustine's single resulted in a throwing error that scored Gonzalez and Randall, Scherer's fielder's choice brought home one more, and Megan Winton's double provided the final score. Gonzalez went 3-for-3 with two steals in the game and Winton was 2-for-3. White retired the final 15 hitters she faced. It was the fifth shutout of her career but her first one-hitter. She improved to 3-3 and Craig went to 5-0. British Columbia dropped to 3-14, including 1-3 against SOU.
