Box Score PORTLAND – Warner Pacific put up a fight in the first set but couldn't hang with Southern Oregon in the next two, as the Raider volleyball team ran its win streak to five with a 27-25, 25-13, 25-15 sweep Friday night at C.C. Perry Gym.

The 15^th-ranked Raiders (10-2 overall, 4-0 Cascade Conference) picked apart the Knights (4-6, 2-3) with a .386 attacking average, marking their most efficient outing of the season. Their previous best was .314.

Paulla Pinheiro (Fortaleza, Brazil/Colegio Farias Brito) was a central instigator with 14 kills and just one error on 23 swings. She has 34 kills in her last two matches, averaging 4.3 per set, and she added six digs.

Lauren McGowne (Coos Bay, Ore./Marshfield) assisted 35 of SOU's 39 kills, 13 of which were put down by Motade Atanda (San Jose, Calif./Presentation). Atanda needed just 26 attacks to get there and went for seven digs, while Nikki Keller (Carson City, Nev./Carson) finished eight of her 11 swings and assisted four blocks.

SOU trailed 18-12 in the opening stanza when Janessa White posted one of her nine kills. The Raiders stormed back, thanks in part to three Pinheiro kills, but still had to break game-point three times. They didn't lead until Atanda's ace made it 26-25, and an attacking error ended it.

The next two games weren't nearly as eventful. The Raiders took nine of 10 points to go up 10-4 and cruise in the second, then chipped away at a win in the third, trailing only when it was 1-0. They hit .500 in the second game and .630 in the third, putting down 18 of 27 attacks.

Brookelynn Cole (Portland, Ore./Central Catholic) came up with a match-best 14 digs, helping keep the Knights at a .139 average. Devan Belshe provided a bright spot with 10 kills.

At least one team will move out of a three-way tie for first place in the CCC when the Raiders visit Concordia (8-4, 5-0) tomorrow at 5 p.m. The Cavaliers, who won both matches against SOU in 2013, defeated Oregon Tech in straight sets Friday.
