ASHLAND – Top-ranked Sienna Ramirez went out in style on her Senior Night, registering one of third-ranked Southern Oregon's trio of pins in a 37-8 handling of No. 17 Eastern Oregon on Saturday night at Riehm Arena.

Freshman 101-pounder Emma Baertlein and junior 143-pounder Emily Se earned the other wins by fall as the Raiders completed the regular season with a 9-2 dual record and finished off a series sweep of the Mountaineers.

Baertlein, ranked No. 7 in the NAIA, provided a quick start by pinning Nayeli Flores in 20 seconds and bringing her record to 21-5. Se, ranked No. 6, finished off Nayeli Maston in 38 seconds to improve to 23-8. And Ramirez, the NAIA's defending 155-pound champion, needed just 21 seconds to clear out No. 6 Dempsi Talkington – upping her SOU career-record win total to 118 and making her 34-3 on the season.

Carolina Moreno (130) and Julissa Taitano (136) both scored technical-fall shutout victories, topping No. 13 Morgan Shines and Krystal Fabricante respectively. Valeree Ornelas (109) won by 10-2 decision over Steph Blankenship.

Tara Othman (116) and Karrah Smith (191) were awarded forfeit wins.

The Raiders will be off for three weeks before traveling to Great Falls, Mont., for the Cascade Conference Championships.
