WOMEN'S BASKETBALL SOU makes tourney return against Robert Morris Comment By SOU Sports Information MailTribune.com By SOU Sports Information Posted Mar. 4, 2015 at 7:53 PM By SOU Sports Information Posted Mar. 4, 2015 at 7:53 PM » Social News KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Southern Oregon University women's basketball team's first opponent in six years at the NAIA Division II national tournament will be 21st-ranked Robert Morris (Ill.). The 32-team bracket was released Wednesday night by the NAIA office. The Raiders (26-4) — who earlier in the day dropped two spots to No. 10 in the final coaches' top-25 poll and were granted the second of nine at-large spots in the tournament — will square off with the Eagles (21-6) at 8:15 a.m. Pacific Time next Wednesday at the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, Iowa. SOU is one of four No. 3 seeds, while RMU is a No. 6 seed. The Eagles went 14-4 in the Chicagoland Collegiate Athletic Conference and received the ninth and final at-large bid. The winner will play a Round of 16 game at 6:30 a.m. PST Friday against seventh-ranked and No. 2 seed Marian (Ind.) or No. 7 seed Tabor (Kan.). SOU is seeking its first tournament win in 16 years, having been knocked out in the first round in four straight appearances. The Raiders went into the 1999 tournament as the top overall seeded and advanced to the second round. They did the same thing the previous season, and in 1997 reached the Final 4 in their first appearance. SOU currently owns its highest seed since the 1998-99 season. Robert Morris is making its first-ever national tournament appearance. The Eagles rank third in the NAIA in steals per game (15.3), seventh in turnover margin (6.2) and 10th in opponents' field-goal percentage (33.9). The key to their defensive success is 5-foot-11 senior forward Yolanda De La Torre, who averages 10.8 rebounds and 2.9 blocks. They also have a couple guards, Kiela Garner and Dana Gettis, who are tied for 17th in the nation at 2.9 steals per game. RMU is spread across several locations in Illinois but its main campus is in Chicago with an enrollment of over 3,000. Elsewhere in the Cascade Conference, 16th-ranked Eastern Oregon drew 17th-ranked Oklahoma Wesleyan in the first round and Oregon Tech got fourth-ranked Saint Xavier (Ill.).
