Southern Oregon opened with a 29-12 victory over Embry Riddle, then came back for a 31-11 win over Menlo College. The pair of victories improves the Raiders record to 5-4, with road matches remaining against Pacific and Portland State next Friday and Saturday. In the opener, Grant Thompson got the Raiders off to a successful start with an upset. Thompson, who dropped a decision to Rob Charlton the finals of Menlo Invitational Dec. 20, scored a 11-3 major decision over the Embry Riddle wrestler. In the nightcap, Thompson got knocked off 8-6 by Menlo College’s Marcus Andy to open the dual.

Marcus Randolph, 15-3 Men’s Basketball SOUTHERN OREGON 73, EVERGREEN STATE 63 — At Ashland, a monster all-around performance by Shea Washington helped the Southern Oregon in the Cascade Conference clash at McNeal Pavilion. Washington tallied game highs of 24 points, four blocks and 24 rebounds — the most by a Raider player since 1970. Despite Washington’s fabulous stat line, the Raiders (14-12, 9-3 Cascade) won their second straight and remained in league title contention only after erasing a 33-32 halftime deficit with a 70-percent field goal clip in the second half.

The Raider rally ended moments later when Stephanie Combes missed a 3-pointer from the top of the key, and the Clams made their final four free throw tries.
