ASHLAND – Senior forward Kami Walk registered 16 points and 14 rebounds, moving into the top-four on Southern Oregon's career lists in both categories to lead a 70-40 thumping of Northwest (Wash.) on Friday evening at Lithia Motors Pavilion.

In their ninth consecutive victory, the No. 24-ranked Raiders (19-4 overall, 15-2 Cascade Conference) outscored the Eagles (5-18, 5-12) by 23 points in the second half and forced them to shoot 25 percent for the game. They remained one game out of first place heading into Saturday's 3 p.m. matchup against Evergreen (Wash.).

Walk scored in double figures for the 10th time in 11 outings in her 24th career double-double and third of the season. She shot 5-of-11 from the field and matched a season-high with four 3-pointers while bringing her four-year totals to 1,519 points and 834 rebounds.

Meghan McIntyre established a new season-high in assists for the second straight outing with eight of them in addition to her 13 points and five rebounds. Sierra Scheppele hit 4-of-10 from 3 to score 12 points, Clara Robbins amassed five points, five rebounds and two blocked shots, and Izzy Hernandez went for seven points and three assists.

The Eagles tied the game at 24 near the three-minute mark of the second quarter before shooting 6-of-36 and turning the ball over 15 times the rest of the way. SOU ended the half with seven unanswered points and extended the lead to 21 by the end of the third quarter, where Scheppele hit a pair of 3-pointers and McIntyre logged six points and three assists.

The Raiders hit 10 triples as a team, reaching double figures in that column for the sixth time in eight games. They hadn't made more than nine in the 15 games that preceded this stretch.

Katie Fleming scored a team-high 16 points for Northwest, which hasn't won in Ashland since 2007 and was swept in the season series for the third year in a row.
