Raiders fall twice in tourney

ASHLAND — Day Two of the 2012 Paul Elliott Invitational did not treat the Southern Oregon volleyball team as kindly as Friday's opener, as the Raiders fell in a pair of matches Saturday at Bob Riehm Arena.

Southern Oregon dropped a five-set afternoon matchup, with Westminster winning, 22-25, 25-23, 25-17, 23-25 and 15-10.

In the final match of the tournament, Viterbo swept the Raiders, 25-23, 25-18 and 25-14.

The losses drop SOU's early-season record to 2-2.

The Raiders return to action with a home match against Pacific Union at 7 p.m. Tuesday at Ashland High. With a new floor coming to Bob Riehm Arena in the next two weeks, the Raiders will temporarily move to the Grizzlies' home court.

Against Westminster, Nikki Keller led SOU with 12 kills and Natalie Scheller added 11, but nine service errors and 11 reception errors plagued the Raiders in the loss.

Against Viterbo, Mona Goudarzian led the way with 14 kills for the Raiders.
