ASHLAND – Four matches were decided by late takedowns and three of them went Southern Oregon's way, swinging a 24-16 dual in the No. 9-ranked Raiders' favor against No. 13 Corban on Friday night at Riehm Arena.

Aaron Gandara, the NAIA's No. 4-ranked 157-pounder, registered a first-round pin of Gus Menne, but SOU had to gut out the rest of its victories to up its dual record to 17-3 and move within one win of tying the single-season program record.

Corban's Brayden Boyd opened the night with a pin at 125 pounds and SOU's Dylan Clark accepted a forfeit at 133 before the Raiders' Evan Potter delivered the first of several clutch moments. The No. 3-ranked 141-pounder chipped away at an early 7-0 deficit against No. 18 Luke Jensen, and with 50 seconds remaining he brought Jensen down to take a 10-9 lead that held up.

Gandara's win by fall followed a Warriors decision from Bo Davis, but the edge he gave SOU was down to 15-13 after No. 2 David Rubio ran up an 18-4 major decision on No. 14 Dylan Straley at 165.

Redshirt-freshman 174-pounder Braylin Ruchti kept the lead on the Raiders' side by defeating German Munoz, 10-8, on the strength of a three-point takedown that flipped the score with 25 seconds left. At 184, SOU's No. 13 Adrian Chavez-Morales then broke a 1-1 tie midway through the third period with a takedown that gave him an eventual 5-2 win over No. 14 Isaiah Twait.

SOU's No. 8 Asher Ruchti clinched the dual in a Top 25 matchup at 197, taking a 6-3 decision from No. 16 Hunter James. Antonio Garcia, the Warriors' No. 10-ranked heavyweight, closed the night with a 9-4 win against Ben Hughes.

The Raiders swept their season series with the Warriors and have won 10 of 11 duals against Cascade Conference opponents.

The team responsible for their only such loss, No. 5 Providence (Mont.), visits Saturday for their home finale. The dual starts at 5 p.m.
