Raiders light up Warriors for 112-66 conference-opening win

ASHLAND – If Ashley Claussen and the 15th-ranked Southern Oregon University women's basketball team didn't already have the Cascade Conference's attention, they will now after Saturday night's 112-66 roughing up of Corban at Mountain Avenue Gym.

In the CCC opener for both teams, Claussen shot 11-of-16, including 6-of-10 from 3-point range, to score 28 points and lead the Raiders to their second-highest point-total in a conference game in program history. And, a few days after tying the program record for 3-point makes with 14, the Raiders did one better by going 15-for-28 as a team from downtown.

SOU improved to 7-0 overall going into Sunday's 1 p.m. matchup with Northwest Christian. Corban fell to 4-5 and will travel to Oregon Tech.

Claussen got plenty of help from the Raiders, who shot 55 percent (40-of-73) overall. Carly Meister went for 22 points, 11 rebounds and three steals in her second game back; Autumn Durand canned all three of her triples for 13 points and six boards; Courtney Setzer went 4-for-4 from the field and 5-for-5 at the line to amass 13 points and eight boards; and Tiani Bradford and Majerle Reeves contributed 11 points apiece.

By halftime, the Raiders were already ahead 63-35, and they'd totaled 91 points by the end of the third quarter.

The win was SOU's most lopsided in a conference game in 22 years, and against a team that was picked to finish fifth in the standings.

The Warriors were forced into 22 turnovers and shot just 24-of-68 from the field. Annie Owen had team-highs of 17 points and seven rebounds off the bench, and Payton Wilcox scored 16.

Claussen has now scored 20-plus points five times this year after doing it just three times in her first three seasons. Meister's double-double was the 16th of her career.
