Simpson can't hang with Southern Oregon women

ASHLAND – The 21st-ranked Southern Oregon women's basketball team staked to a 24-point halftime lead and defeated Simpson University 101-72 in nonleague action Tuesday at Riehm Arena.

Kristen Schoenherr (Rainier, Wash./Rainier) tallied 17 points, six assists, four rebounds and three steals, Alexi Smith (Bakersfield, Calif./Stockdale) had 17 points and five boards, and Bree Park (Bellingham, Wash./Meridian) chipped in 11 points with three 3-pointers off the bench for the Raiders (3-0 overall). SOU shot 58 percent from the field (35-for-60), as Schoenherr went 6-for-8, Smith was 8-for-13 and Park 4-for-5.

The Raiders were at 64 percent in the first half while the Redhawks (0-3) struggled to 36 percent before heating up in the second. Esther Wofford scored 26 points, helping Simpson keep pace after halftime.

Twenty-four of SOU's 35 buckets were assisted. Ashley Claussen (Scotts Valley, Calif./Santa Cruz) was credited with six, Autumn Durand (Onalaska, Wash./Onalaska) had 14 points and four assists, and reserve Demi Sahlinger (Napavine, Wash./Napavine) contributed eight points and five assists.

The Raiders have shot at least 49 percent with 30-plus makes and gotten Smith and Durand in double figures all three games this season. They hit the 100-point mark three times last season, most recently at Northwest University on Jan. 11.

They'll travel to Metro State (Colo.) this weekend for exhibitions with two NCAA Division II schools, Friday against Regis University (Colo.) and Saturday against the host school.

For Simpson, Katie Lenik scored 12 and Fallon Greenshaw had 11.
