ASHLAND – Megan Perry paced three Raiders in double figures with 13 kills in addition to a match-high five blocks, helping No. 5-ranked Southern Oregon to its 20th victory in a 25-14, 25-17, 23-25, 25-14 decision against Walla Walla (Wash.) on Saturday night at Lithia Motors Pavilion.

The Raiders (20-2 overall, 14-2 Cascade Conference) posted a .320 attack, their highest average in five matches, to overcome a 25-kill display by Wolves outside hitter Sahara Browning, the most prolific attacker in the circuit.

Perry did her damage on 25 swings, and Hannah Stadstad needed only 18 to get her 11 kills. Marin Mackey contributed her 12th double-double of the season with 10 kills and 19 digs.

Browning accounted for half of the team kill total for the Wolves (7-11, 6-10) and dropped in eight during the third set to avoid a sweep. The Raiders never trailed in the fourth, though, and cruised after jumping out to an 11-5 lead.

Setters Annie Hite and Vitoria Mattos directed SOU's attack with 22 and 21 assists, respectively. Mylena Testoni helped with seven kills and 13 digs, Kayla Neidigh picked up 18 digs, and Sadie Byrd accumulated six kills and four blocks.

The Raiders got to 20 wins for the fifth time in six seasons and as fast as in any season in team history. They also took a half-match lead in first place over Eastern Oregon. The teams remained tied in the loss column but moved ahead of Corban, which was swept Saturday at College of Idaho to fall to 13-3 in the CCC.

SOU has six regular-season matches left to play and makes a crucial trip next week to Bushnell and Corban.
