ASHLAND – No. 7-ranked Southern Oregon overpowered Multnomah from start to finish in a 25-18, 25-11, 25-17 decision on Friday night at Lithia Motors Pavilion to keep pace atop the Cascade Conference standings.

The sweep was their 13th of the season. They went up 5-1 in the first set, 11-5 in the second and 11-1 in the third on the strength of a .375 attacking average and a 10-4 advantage in blocks.

Sadie Byrd had eight kills on 14 attempts. Friley Curtiss and Megan Perry both contributed six. In helping limit Multnomah to a .045 attacking average, Kayla Neidigh reeled in 10 digs.

The Lions (2-21, 2-17) were led by JahNay Jardine's seven kills and Zoe Schuele's 12 digs and 12 assists. They remained winless in 18 all-time matchups against SOU.

The Raiders have won 31 consecutive matches against unranked opponents since the start of last season.
