SOU was led by Ashley Baker (Grand Junction, Colo./Fruita)'s 22 points and 16 rebounds, while Jacki Speer (Centralia, Wash./Centralia) added 12 points and 14 rebounds for her eighteenth double-double of the season.

“Ashley Baker (Grand Junction, Colo./Fruita) was unbelievable tonight,” SOU head coach Lynn Kennedy said, “She was very determined and Whitney's (Scott) first half really opened up Ashley's post game.”

The Beacon's Elise Gray put up a team high 21 points and six rebounds.

The Raiders jumped out to a 36-29 lead at halftime thanks to Speer's 10 points and eight rebounds with Scott adding 10 points with two 3-pointers.

Next week the Raiders go back on the road to finish off the regular season with matchups against Corban on Feb. 20 and 9th-ranked Concordia in the season finale Feb. 21.
