ASHLAND – The No. 6-ranked Southern Oregon men's wrestling team is back home this weekend for three duals, the last of which is against the team that may pose the greatest threat to its Cascade Conference championship defense.

The Raiders stand at 9-1 entering Friday's matchups with Westcliff (Calif.) (4-8) at 4 p.m. and No. 17-ranked Corban (6-6) at 6 p.m. inside Bob Riehm Arena. They'll finish the homestand at 5 p.m. Saturday against No. 8 Embry-Riddle (Ariz.) (8-3) and recognize the team's 11 seniors before the dual.

After a fifth-place effort at the NWCA-NAIA National Duals, the Raiders have collected seven of their nine wins against nationally-ranked teams. Dating back to the 2022-23 season, they've won 16 consecutive home duals and 11 in a row against CCC opponents.

SOU vs. WESTCLIFF: Westcliff made its program debut in 2024-25 and went on to finish eighth place at the CCC Championships. SOU will deploy a backup-heavy lineup against the Warriors, whose only nationally-ranked individual is not slated to be in action. The Warriors were picked eighth in the CCC preseason poll. The Raiders won the first and only previous matchup between the teams last season, 46-9.

SOU vs. CORBAN: The Warriors, led by head coach and former SOU All-American Nolan Harris, rebounded for a 1-4 showing at the National Duals with a 28-18 victory last week at Eastern Oregon. They're coming off an eighth-place finish at the 2025 NAIA Championships with a lineup anchored by another former Raider, No. 2 heavyweight Antonio Garcia, who is one of four nationally-ranked wrestlers projected to be in Friday's lineup. The 184 matchup is one to watch: No. 8 Adrian Chavez-Morales of SOU against defending conference champion and No. 4 Isaiah Twait of Corban.

SOU vs. EMBRY-RIDDLE: Assuming both sides are at full strength, the Raiders and Eagles could be favored in five matches apiece in a battle of the CCC's highest-ranked teams.

Potential top-10 matchups are on tap at 125 pounds between SOU's No. 5 Isaac Hampton and ERAU's No. 8 Landon Smith, and at 197 between SOU's No. 4 Asher Ruchti and ERAU's No. 9 Trenton Blomquist. The Raiders are 24-7 in the all-time series and have taken the last two meetings after losing the previous four in a row.
