The Raiders (4-1) dropped a 5-1 decision to top-ranked and defending NAIA champion Simon Fraser but bounced back with a come-from-behind, 3-2 win against Utah Valley State — the school’s first-ever win over an NCAA Division I program. The victory set up a rematch with UVSC (4-1) in today’s tournament semifinals with the winner facing either Simon Fraser (4-1) or Albertson in the finals. "Our players are on a little bit of an emotional high after the Utah Valley State game," Raider coach Larry Binney said. "Our three pitchers have done a real nice job in particular." After UVSC scored twice in the fourth inning to take a 2-1 lead, SOU answered in the bottom of the fifth when Kara Ray and Seanna Doyel each singled and eventually scored unearned runs. Advertisement Raider junior hurler Miranda Gillaspie (2-0) then retired nine of the final 10 hitters for a complete-game victory. Doyel accounted for two of Southern Oregon’s four hits against Simon Fraser, including an RBI single that tied the contest at 1-all in the top of the third. The Clan collected 12 hits off starter Amanda Cregan (1-1) and reliever Megan Beugli, but SFU put the game away only after plating two unearned runs in the bottom of the sixth inning. Track HORNET OPEN — At Sacramento, Southern Oregon senior Megan Heuberger posted a provincial qualifying mark for NAIA nationals of 1 minute, 5.32 seconds with first place in the 400- meter intermediate hurdles Cal-State Sacramento. Heuberger also ran a leg on the women’s winning 4x400 relay team. The time of 4:02.02 is also a provincial qualifying mark. Andrea Eide, Rachel Hinze and Brook Jaentsch were also on the team. The Raider women placed second in the 4x100 relay with a 50.0 hand-held time. The team was the same except for Emily Dunn replacing Jaentsch. Other women’s highlights were a first by Jaentsch in the high jump (5-1) and second by Brynn Cogdill in the 3,000 (10:21.48). The top individual men’s performance was Sean Peterson’s sixth in the 3,000 meters (8:55.01). The men’s 4x400 relay team, with Colby Stone, Dusty Waugh, Ross Dexter and Trevor Palmer, placed third (3:29.39). Besides the host school, Portland State, Humboldt State, Oregon Tech and a small contingent from Stanford competed.Tennis Tennis SOUTHERN OREGON 5, WILLAMETTE 4 — At Salem, Amy Hurlocker’s victory at No. 6 singles carried Southern Oregon to its third victory in four matches this season.
