Warner Pacific improved to 16-11 overall and 10-7 in Cascade Conference play. Southern Oregon fell to 15-14 overall and 8-9 in league play. The Raiders host Concordia in a key league battle tomorrow night in the regular season finale.

Carly Wood (Sacramento, Calif./Bella Vista) led the Raiders with 13 points, while Josi McDermott (Ashland, Ore./Ashland) had 11 and Alexi Smith (Bakersfield, Calif./Stockdale) had a double-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.

The Knights jumped out and early and never let the Raiders catch up.

After a 38-32 halftime lead, the Raiders cut the lead to 41-37 early in the second half on a 3-pointer by Lindsey Scheffler (Castle Rock, Wash./Toutle Lake), but a 3-pointer by Holenstein pushed the lead back to 44-37 and the Knights started rolling.

A layup by Katie Smith put the Knights up 52-37 and give Warner plenty of distance.

The Knights made 10 of 16 3-pointers in the game and went 4-for-5 in the second half.
