KLAMATH FALLS – Andressa Ribeiro Soares dominated with 27 digs and a career-high 20 kills, and Friley Curtiss starred in the fifth set of Southern Oregon's 25-20, 22-25, 28-26, 21-25, 15-10 win against Oregon Tech on Tuesday night at Danny Miles Court.

Ribeiro Soares became the first Raider in a decade with 20-plus kills and digs in a single match, and the senior outside hitter did so efficiently on 53 attacks to boost the Raiders' team attacking average to .251. Curtiss finished with 14 kills and seven blocks, going for three and two in the tiebreaker alone.

SOU took the lead for good when Curtiss broke a 9-9 tie with a kill. After the teams traded errors, she put down another to start a match-ending 4-0 run.

The Raiders moved to 9-11 overall and 6-7 in the Cascade Conference, completing a regular-season sweep of OIT. They're three matches up on the ninth-place Owls (9-11, 3-10) with seven left to play.

Maya Watters amassed 15 kills – setting the tone with five in the first set – and seven digs. Mia Jaeger had a career-high 30 assists and 10 digs, Annie Hite distributed 27 more assists, and Tais Vega notched another career-high with 21 digs.

The match likely swung in the third set, which the Owls led 24-20 before surrendering five consecutive SOU points. Kills by Tessa Zimmermann and Ribeiro Soares later clinched it.

Zimmermann contributed nine kills on 21 attempts and assisted five blocks. SOU's other middle, freshman Lanie Snow, had six kills without an error on nine swings and assisted three blocks.

Maelle Garon chipped in three service aces for the Raiders, who have won three straight matches that have gone to five sets.

Savanna Sterck's 25 kills led the Owls. She hit .290 on 62 attempts.

The Raiders are in eighth place, but just one back of sixth in the loss column, entering a 6 p.m. home match Saturday against winless Warner Pacific.
