ASHLAND – Gabbie Johnson played the hero for streaking Southern Oregon on Saturday afternoon at Raider Stadium, sticking the lone goal in the 78th minute for a 1-0 win over Rocky Mountain (Mont.) in Cascade Conference play.

Johnson, a senior forward from Redding, Calif., beat two defenders to chase down a ball cleared high in the air from midfield by Malaika Quigley, gathering and striking 10 yards off of the left end line. Her shot caught Battlin' Bears keeper Mila Allison off guard, bounced once and snuck inside the right post.

The Raiders (4-4-2 overall, 3-1-1 CCC) enjoyed a six-point weekend, completing the sweep after defeating Providence (Mont.) 4-0 on Friday. They've gone 3-0-1 over their last four games – bouncing back from an 0-3-1 stretch that preceded this one.

The Bears (2-5-3, 0-3-2) have still yet to score in five CCC outings. They were frustrated again, especially as Halle Labert hit the crossbar on laser shots in both halves.

SOU keeper Jessie Selby didn't help their cause. The senior made five saves for her third shutout of the season and the team's third in a row. Sophia Connell also stood out on the back line as RMC put just five of its 15 shots on goal.

Seven of the Raiders' 11 shots were on target. Johnson's goal was her first of the season. The assist was Quigley's first.

With 10 points, the Raiders are among six teams separated by three points at the top of the CCC table. They'll play next week at Carroll (Mont.), which stands at 4-1-1.

SOU has defeated Rocky in one-goal decisions to years in a row. The Raiders dropped four of the previous five regular-season matchups.
