Kyle Tedder hit five 3s in SOU's 84-60 win at Corban.
SALEM – The best 3-point shooting team in the Cascade Conference got a little better Friday night in one of its best road shows from beyond the arc in at least a couple decades.
Dex Daum hit five 3-pointers, Kyle Tedder hit four and the Southern Oregon University men's basketball team collectively hit 16 of 28 in its 84-60 win over Corban at the C.E. Jeffers Center.
Daum, who was off on one 3-point attempt, led four players in double figures for the 14th-ranked Raiders (19-5 overall, 8-4 CCC), who moved back into second place in the conference standings with Concordia's loss at College of Idaho.
Eric Thompson went 6-for-9 from the floor, making his only try from downtown, on his way to 14 points, eight rebounds and four assists. Jeff Bush (12 points, six assists, four rebounds) and Tim Weber (seven points, six assists, five rebounds) went a combined 4-for-5 from outside.
The Raiders have made exactly 16 3-pointers five times in the last two seasons but hadn't hit that many away from Ashland since head coach Brian McDermott took over in 1996.
The Warriors (6-14, 2-9) lost their ninth straight and were swept in the season series against SOU. Four players scored in double figures for them – Jordan Carter (18), Josiah Sebens (13), Toby Roth (13) and Caleb Herzberg – but they got a combined six points out of everyone else.
The Raiders' 57.1-percent clip from outside matched their accuracy from the field, where they went 32-for-56.
They extended their lead to 41-20 in the first half with an 18-4 run that included four 3-pointers without a miss from Tedder, Weber, Thompson and Daum.
Their lead expanded to 68-40 in the second. When Corban cut into that with 13 unanswered points, Tedder fueled an 8-2 run with two more triples.
Jacob Kaler added two 3s off the bench. Reserve Jordan West had six points on 3-for-4 shooting.
The Raiders also limited their turnover total to seven, giving them 12 over the last two games.
In SOU's last four games Daum is 15-for-29 from the field, including a 9-for-14 mark from 3, and averaging 13.5 points.
They'll travel Saturday to Northwest Christian in search of a series split. Corban will host Oregon Tech and try to deny coach Danny Miles his 1,000th win.
