Headlines: Southern Oregon's impressive first half in Cascade Conference play caught the attention of NAIA voters, who this week awarded the second-place Raiders with
Top 25 votes for the first time in two years. They're No. 34 overall in the poll ahead of their most daunting trip to date, beginning the second half of the CCC schedule at No. 4-ranked College of Idaho and third-place Eastern Oregon. The Raiders will attempt to stop C of I's conference winning streak at 32 games while extending their own. In six CCC outings, they've outscored opponents 24-3 combined. With six regular-season games left to play, they've already scored more total goals (34) than in any season since 2019.

Headlines: The Raiders' Cascade Conference title chances appeared to be shot when they lost back-to-back games in Montana two weeks ago, but some help around the circuit since then got them right back in the race. With a game in hand, they're five points behind first-place Eastern Oregon and four behind second-place Carroll (Mont.), and their schedule softens up considerable after this weekend. All eyes will be on Saturday's matchup at EOU, a team that has never defeated the Raiders in 10 all-time matchups -- nine of which the Mountaineers left without a goal. Carroll, EOU and SOU all continued to receive votes in this week's
NAIA Top 25.

Headlines: For the first time since 2022, the Raider men are back among the top-10 in the
NAIA coaches' poll this week after making the biggest jump of any team from No. 18 to No. 9. They made the move on the strength of team wins in their first two races and a second-place finish among NAIA teams two weeks ago at the Willamette Invitational. On Saturday at the Highlander Invitational, they'll see two more of the NAIA's best in No. 1 The Master's (Calif.) and No. 7 Embry-Riddle (Ariz.). It'll be the last race before the Cascade Conference Championships for both them and the Raider women, who dropped three spots to No. 23 in
this week's poll.
