Raiders on the Road: September 25-26

RAIDER WOMEN'S SOCCER (5-0-2, 2-0-0 CCC) 12 p.m. Friday – at Oregon Tech (4-3-0, 1-1-0) | Stream | Stats. HEADLINES: The Raiders have checked every box during the longest season-opening unbeaten streak in program history: they've outscored opponents 19-3 combined; they've gotten results against two Top 25 opponents; they have the Cascade Conference's top goal-scorer in Tori Lasch (6), the second-leading scorer in Ava Johnson (5), and just returned the services of last year's top producer, Abby McKean; their goalkeeper, Ashlyn Fuss, is running the highest save rate (94%) in the NAIA; and they just went a full game without allowing a shot for the first time in six seasons. It's the kind of start they'd hoped for on the heels of a record-breaking 2025 campaign, stretching back to which their regular-season unbeaten streak stands at 11 games – tied for the longest in team history. They continue to receive votes in the national poll and appear to be on the verge of a Top 25 breakthrough, but in their way is an Oregon Tech team that hasn't lost to SOU in Klamath Falls since 2016. The Owls lost last year's matchup in Ashland, 5-1, and have not yet defeated a team with a winning record. But they'll be at home for the first time this season and are 10-0-2 in their last 12 games at OIT Field dating back to 2024.
