ASHLAND – The Southern Oregon women's basketball team is at the doorstep of regular-season perfection after beating up Warner Pacific, 85-38, on Friday night at Lithia Motors Pavilion.

The No. 3-ranked Raiders fired on all cylinders while moving to 27-0 overall and 21-0 in the Cascade Conference. Five players scored in double figures, they committed just seven turnovers, and they forced 23 in addition to keeping the Knights (7-20, 4-17) at 25% from the field.

With a win at 3 p.m. Saturday against 10th-place Multnomah, they'd become the fourth team ever to run the CCC table and the first in circuit history to complete an unbeaten regular season.

The Raiders put WPU away early. They trailed 9-6 four minutes into the contest before piecing together a 28-2 run in which the Knights mustered just one basket over 10-plus minutes.

Clara Robbins spearheaded the defense by tallying all five of her blocks in the first half. The senior forward also came up with two steals and a game-high eight rebounds.

Morgan Baird shot 7-of-8 with 17 points and Emma Schmerbach was 7-of-11 with 15 points, six rebounds and three assists. Bridgette McIntyre got her 12 points on four 3-pointers, Meghan McIntyre finished with 11 and seven boards, and Eliza DiGiulio chipped in 11 more off the bench.

The Raider reserves – aided by Keeley Wright's career-high seven assists – combined for 54 points.

SOU mounted a decisive 38-0 advantage in points off turnovers and outscored the Knights by 18 on second-chance points.

Skylar Groesbeck's 12 points led the Knights, but she needed 14 field-goal attempts to get there.

The Raiders have won 24 of their last 25 matchups against WPU. The win was their seventh this season decided by 40-plus.
