After pushing its lead to 22 points (44-22), the visiting Raiders watched as Corban outscored SOU by three points over the final two minutes of the first half resulting in a 46-27 lead at halftime.

In the opening seven minutes of the second half, Southern Oregon increased its lead to 27 points (65-38) before extending it to a game-high 28 points (68-40) on a lay-in by Thompson with 10:48 left. The host Warriors would pull back within 15 points (68-53) on a three-pointer by Herzberg, but would not get any closer as the visiting Raiders continued to hold a double-digit lead for the remainder of the game and settled for the final difference of 24 points (84-60).

As a team, Corban combined to shoot 23-for-53 (43.4%) from the field that included a 6-for-17 (35.3%) performance from beyond the three-point line and a 8-of-9 (88.9%) showing at the free throw line.

NOTE: Oregon Tech's long-time head coach Danny Miles will be looking to earn career win No. 1,000 and become only the second coach in men's collegiate basketball history to win 1,000-or-more games in a career. Coach Miles earned career win No. 800 on Warrior Court during the 2006-07 season when Oregon Tech defeated George Fox, 84-73, during the Hillyer's Mid-City Ford Classic.
