MEDFORD – Southern Oregon broke a Cascade Conference Tournament record for shot attempts and finally made one count in the second overtime session against Corban, winning 1-0 in the quarterfinals on Saturday morning at Wheeler Field.
The No. 2-seeded Raiders' 33rd and final strike of the game came in the 101st minute off the foot of freshman
Brycelin Endrikat, who sent them to the semifinal round of the CCC Championships presented by U.S. Bank for the sixth time in seven seasons.
Less than 30 seconds into double-OT,
Tori Lasch started a break by switching the field to
Macie Yannoni, who sent the ball ahead to
Abby McKean on the attacking half. McKean went one-on-one with her defender down the left side, then bounced a precise cross through the box to the far post, where Endrikat was waiting to tap in.
The OT victory was SOU's second ever in the tournament. The Raiders improved to 12-2-4 overall and, with a chance to advance to their first-ever final, will play at 1 p.m. Monday against No. 3 seed Rocky Mountain (Mont.). The Battlin' Bears -- who won the regular-season matchup against SOU, 1-0 -- survived their quarterfinal against Carroll (Mont.) in penalty kicks.
Endrikat's third goal of the season provided justice for the Raiders after they mounted an 11-2 advantage in shots on goal and held the No. 7-seeded Warriors (7-9-3) to just five total attempts, including just one after halftime.
Corban keeper Jordyn Labajo's admirable nine-save performance held them back. So did tough-luck shots by
Macie Yannoni that hit the crossbar and
Carter O'Shea that ricocheted off the post.
Brooklyn Hayes established a new tournament record with 10 shots and put a team-high four on frame. McKean was on target with three of her five tries before her sixth goal involvement in the last month.
The shutout was the Raiders' third in a row after they'd gone the seven previous games without one.
SOU and Corban hadn't met in the postseason since 2017. They saw each other two weeks earlier in the regular season, a meeting that resulted in a 3-2 Raider win.
