SALEM – Though out of Cascade Conference title contention, the Southern Oregon men's soccer team proved again Saturday to be as dangerous as anyone with the postseason looming.

The Raiders dealt a major blow to No. 23-ranked Corban's championship hopes with a 1-0 upset at the Outdoor Athletic Complex, spoiling the Warriors' senior day and defeating an NAIA Top 25 opponent for the first time since 2018.

Sophomore forward Evan Norconk turned in the lone goal in the 78th minute, redirecting Bryan Millan's cross for a big finish in the box. It was his fifth goal and third game-winner of the season.

After a six-point weekend on the road, SOU (11-5 overall, 8-3 CCC) will be tied in fourth place with College of Idaho assuming the Yotes defeat last-place Walla Walla (Wash.) on Sunday. Of the three teams they trail in the standings, the Raiders have defeated two of them. They'll get a shot at the other next Saturday, when first-place and undefeated Warner Pacific visits for the final weekend of the regular season.

"A very positive result against a Top 25 team," SOU head coach Davie Carmichael said. "We were organized and cohesive in our shape. We're looking forward to our last home weekend at Raider Stadium."

Corban (14-2-1, 9-2-1) is winless against the Raiders over the teams' last five meetings. The Warriors collected just one point on the weekend, having salvaged a draw with a last-minute goal against Oregon Tech on Friday.

SOU keeper Anthony Armenta kept them off the board with six saves, his highest total yet in a shutout. The senior has turned in four consecutive clean sheets.

The Raiders, winners in eight of their last nine, are home Friday against Multnomah before closing the regular season against the Knights. Both matches start at 2:30 p.m.
