GLENDALE, Ariz. Adrian Chavez-Morales and Braylin Ruchti needed less than a minute to finish off wins by fall and Travis Thorpe added another as No. 9-ranked Southern Oregon thumped Arizona Christian 40-6 in a Cascade Conference dual matchup Friday at the ACU Events Center.

The Raiders accrued bonus points in seven different weight classes, bumping their record to 15-3 ahead of Saturday's showdown at No. 5 Embry-Riddle (Ariz.).

Chavez-Morales, ranked No. 14 at 184 pounds, pinned Kaden Martin in 58 seconds just minutes after Ruchti's 59-second pin of Anthony Aguilera at 174. Those occurred amid a string of six consecutive bonus-points for SOU, a run that started with Thorpe's second-round pin of Albert Ambriz at 149.

No. 20 Dylan Straley (157) added a technical fall at 157, No. 11 Dylan Clark (133) and No. 7 Asher Ruchti (197) both won by major decision, and No. 2 Evan Potter (141) took a 5-3 decision from Channing Porter. Dylan Mann won by forfeit.

James Maheras (125) and Kaiden Cisneros (285) bookended the contest with ACU's only victories.
