ASHLAND – Five Raiders scored double-digits as No. 4 Southern Oregon extended its win streak to 23 with a 70-60 victory over Corban on Saturday at Lithia Motors Pavilion.

SOU built a 12-point advantage by the end of the first half and held off Corban (10-14, 8-10) in the fourth quarter to improve to 23-0 overall and 17-0 in the Cascade Conference, ending the weekend as one of two undefeated teams remaining in the NAIA.

The Raiders shot 47% (7-of-15) from 3-point range and scored 17 points off of 15 Corban turnovers. They poured in 42 points combined in the second and third quarters, shooting 61% (17-of-28) from the field during that stretch.

Emma Schmerbach had 14 points on 7-of-11 shooting and nine rebounds, matching her season-high in the latter category. Morgan Baird registered 14 points, four rebounds, and three assists, and Bridgette McIntyre scored 12 points on 4-of-8 shooting from behind the arc.

Meghan McIntyre added 10 points – knocking down six free throws – seven rebounds, four assists, and three steals. Eliza DiGiulio had 12 points off the bench on 5-of-8 shooting with three assists.

A layup from Corban's Alyssa Wyllie cut the Raider lead to eight with 7:08 remaining in after trailing by 17 midway through the third. SOU held off Corban the rest of the way by forcing four turnovers, getting back-to-back steals from Meghan McIntyre that she turned into four free throws.

Tori Younker and Mandie Jensen paced the Warriors (10-14, 8-10) with 13 points apiece.

SOU's magic number to clinch a second straight regular-season title is down to three.

The Raiders travel next weekend for their last road trip of the regular season. They face Walla Walla (Wash. 7-16, 4-13) on Friday night and No. 24 Lewis-Clark State (Idaho) (20-4, 14-4) – which is enjoying a six-game win streak – on Saturday.
