Raiders Come Back From Two Sets Down to Defeat Warner Pacific
PORTLAND, Ore. – Southern Oregon completed the comeback over Warner Pacific tonight, winning three straight sets after dropping the first two versus the upset-minded Knights.
The Raiders (5-3, 3-1 CCC) used a balanced attack, with four players registering 11 or more kills. Elliot Cook did the most damage with 14 winners. The visitors needed them all to overcome a tremendous effort from WPC's
Janessa Mast, who swung for 28 kills and had 13 digs.
SOU turned the tide thanks to improved efficiency on the attack toward the latter stages, and finished the match with nine kills versus just one error in the deciding frame. WPC (2-4, 2-4 CCC) nearly matched the Raiders point for point, but four hitting errors by the Knights made the difference.
