Box Score ASHLAND -- The Southern Oregon University women's basketball team grabbed a quick lead and never let go in a 101-73 defeat of Pacific Union in a game that spanned from late Saturday night to early Sunday morning at Bob Riehm Arena.

Sophomore point guard Ashley Claussen (Scotts Valley, Calif./Santa Cruz) dropped 14 points, 12 assists and five rebounds to lead the Raiders, who won handily in both games of their season-opening SOU Women's Tip-Off Classic. They got off the floor at 12:45 a.m. and were scheduled to take a 5 a.m. flight to Idaho for Monday's exhibition game at Boise State.

The Raiders had six players in double figures for the second day in a row. Joining Claussen were Kristen Schoenherr (Rainier, Wash./Rainier) (16), Carly Meister (Elma, Wash./Elma) (16), Autumn Durand (Onalaska, Wash./Onalaska) (13) and Demi Sahlinger (Napavine, Wash./Napavine) (10). Tiani Bradford (Oregon City, Ore./Oregon City) pulled in a game-high 10 rebounds off the bench.

SOU built an 14-point lead in the first six minutes and it was never less than 11 thereafter. It had a 62-41 advantage on the boards as Durand, Schoenherr and Brenna Anderson (Burlington, Wash./Burlington-Edison) chipped in seven apiece.

Pacific Union (0-2) got 16 points and five rebounds from London Robinson off the bench.
