SOU rallies to beat EOU ASHLAND � A year ago, Eastern Oregon took a big first-half lead on Southern Oregon and the Raiders never recovered. It was a different story Friday. The Raiders fell behind 16-3 but rallied for a 71-59 Cascade Conference men�s basketball victory at McNeal Pavilion. SOU improved to 10-7 overall and 4-2 in league play. EOU is 7-5 and 3-2. Tom Chipps helped SOU take the lead for good at 37-35 with 16:42 remaining. The Raiders bumped the margin to 15 with a 16-4 spurt culminating with a pair of free throws by Chad Paris at the 5:06 mark. The Mountaineers didn�t get closer than eight the rest of the way. Chipps poured in a game-high 24 points to pace SOU. He was 7-for-11 from the field and 8-for-9 on free throws. Chipps moved within 91 points of surpassing the school�s career scoring record.
