Raider netters rally for victory ASHLAND � Southern Oregon University rallied to win a volleyball thriller over Oregon Tech, 15-5, 15-8, 14-16, 15-17, 16-14 at McNeal Pavilion Friday. A near-record crowd of about 700 watched the Raiders (11-5, 7-2) take a 2-0 game lead only to squander it and have to battle back in the deciding game. Southern Oregon blew a 13-5 lead and one match point attempt in Game 3 and a 14-12 lead in Game 4. In the final game the Raiders fought off three match point attempts and went on a 7-0 run to clinch the 2-hour, 45-minute match. "This team never gives up," Raider coach Paul Elliott said, "and the way the match was going, I told them (Raiders), �They came back on us, let�s come back on them.�" Raider all-star Shelley Gorin had 25 kills, equaling a career high, and Jamie Csoros had 69 assists and 22 digs, also both career highs.
