Western Baptist upends SOU women ASHLAND - One blown lead gave way to another Thursday night at McNeal Pavilion, where Western Baptist dropped Southern Oregon, 73-67, with a 13-4 run in the final minutes. The Raiders (8-9 overall, 4-3 Cascade Conference) had stormed back from a 43-29 halftime deficit to take a 63-60 edge with 3 minutes, 15 seconds to play. But the Warriors (14-8, 6-2) had the last push and were paced by freshman reserve guard Lindsy Hinkle, who scored a game-high 30 points despite entering the contest averaging 8.9 points per game this season. SOU outrebounded Western Baptist, 55-43, and staged its rally even though it shot a woeful 32.5 percent from the field. Junior point guard Sara Marks led the Raiders with 16 points but made just 7-of-23 attempts from the field. Junior post Jaime Stanford grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds to accompany eight points. Hinkle broke a 67-67 tie with 42 seconds left by breaking SOU's full-court pressure for a breakaway layup. "Hinkle really came out of nowhere to hurt us tonight," Raiders head coach Kevin Wilson said in a released statement. "We had every opportunity in the world to win this game. We took 80 shots tonight and almost all of them were good ones. I'm proud of our players for staging a great comeback, but the lid was on the basket most of the night."
