SALEM – Southern Oregon had no answer for Corban post Tj Zimmermann down the stretch, falling 79-71 in Cascade Conference play Saturday evening at the C.E. Jeffers Center.

Zimmermann scored 14 of his 25 points in the second half as the Warriors (12-12 overall, 8-8 CCC), a night after sticking a 20-point loss on Oregon Tech, picked up their fourth win in five games.

Raider guard Brady Rice's second three-point play tied the score at 59-all with 8:16 remaining before Corban ran off a 12-3 spurt in which Zimmermann scored two buckets and assisted two more. SOU managed just two field goals over the final eight minutes, both on second-chance opportunities.

The result was costly in the standings. It dropped the Raiders (15-9, 12-4) out of a three-way tie for first place and into a three-way tie for third. Of the top five teams, all separated by one win, they'll play three on the road over the final two weeks of the regular season.

The Raiders shot 10-of-22 from 3-point range and just 13-of-36 inside the arc. That oddity, in addition to their 16 turnovers compared to Corban's nine, spoiled 18-point efforts from Gio Evanson and Elijah Jackson and the first career double-double for Jace Anderson, who tallied 10 points and 10 rebounds. Rice finished with nine points off the bench.

Four more Warriors joined Zimmermann in double figures: Joe Gould (14 points), Clyde Harris Jr. (12), Anjay Cortez (10) and Oreon Courtney (10). They hit at 56 percent from the field and outscored SOU 60-22 in the paint.

The Raiders and Oregon Tech have identical CCC records entering their key matchup Tuesday in Klamath Falls.
