Raiders thump Warner Pacific, 80-40 PORTLAND -- The Southern Oregon University women's basketball team collected 15 steals en route to a 80-40 thumping of Warner Pacific. The Raiders held a 36-24 lead at the half and then turned up the defensive pressure in the second-half, forcing the Knights into 17 turnovers. "We played better defense in the second-half," said Southern Oregon coach Shirley Huyett. "Everybody contributed and we forced them into some bad decisions." Liz Brennan and Amy Tangedahl led a balanced scoring attack for the Raiders with 12 points apiece. All 11 players that made the trip for Southern Oregon scored at least two points. "We had a pretty balanced effort offensively," said Huyett. "To only have two players score in double figures and still score 80 points as a team is outstanding." Alison Richards had a team-high five steal and Kara Magee-Arick pulled down eight boards for the Raiders. As a team, Southern Oregon out-rebounded Warner Pacific 43-33 and made 14 more trips to the foul-line, connecting on 16-20. The Raiders (4-2) also turned 29 Warner Pacific turnovers into 35 points and held the Knights to 36 percent shooting for the game.
