Box Score SALEM – The best 3-point shooting team in the Cascade Conference got a little better Friday night in one of its best road shows from beyond the arc in at least a couple decades.

Dex Daum (Fallon, Nev./Churchill) hit five 3-pointers, Kyle Tedder (Coos Bay, Ore./Marshfield) hit four and the Southern Oregon University men's basketball team collectively hit 16 of 28 in its 84-60 win over Corban at the C.E. Jeffers Center.

Daum, who was off on one 3-point attempt, led four players in double figures for the 14th-ranked Raiders (19-5 overall, 8-4 CCC), who moved back into second place in the conference standings with Concordia's loss at College of Idaho.

Eric Thompson (Roseburg, Ore./Roseburg) went 6-for-9 from the floor, making his only try from downtown, on his way to 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Jeff Bush (West Linn, Ore./West Linn) (12 points, six assists, four rebounds) and Tim Weber (Roseburg, Ore./Roseburg) (seven points, six assists, five rebounds) went a combined 4-for-5 from outside.

The Raiders have made exactly 16 3-pointers five times in the last two seasons but hadn't hit that many away from Ashland since head coach Brian McDermott took over in 1996.

The Warriors (6-14, 2-9) lost their ninth straight and were swept in the season series against SOU. Four players scored in double figures for them – Jordan Carter (18), Josiah Sebens (13), Toby Roth (13) and Caleb Herzberg – but they got a combined six points out of everyone else.

The Raiders' 57.1-percent clip from outside matched their accuracy from the field, where they went 32-for-56.

They extended their lead to 41-20 in the first half with an 18-4 run that included four 3-pointers without a miss from Tedder, Weber, Thompson and Daum.

Their lead expanded to 68-40 in the second. When Corban cut into that with 13 unanswered points, Tedder fueled an 8-2 run with two more triples.

Jacob Kaler (Camas, Wash./Camas Valley) added two 3s off the bench. Reserve Jordan West (Gymea Bay, Australia/Port Hacking) had six points on 3-for-4 shooting.

The Raiders also limited their turnover total to seven, giving them 12 over the last two games.

In SOU's last four games Daum is 15-for-29 from the field, including a 9-for-14 mark from 3, and averaging 13.5 points.

They'll travel Saturday to Northwest Christian in search of a series split. Corban will host Oregon Tech and try to deny coach Danny Miles his 1,000th win.
