Ashland, Ore.| The Knights played a solid Southern Oregon squad tonight in their second to last game of the season and fell by a final score of 104-75 in front of a crowd of 335 at Lithia Motors Pavilion.
 
The Knights were led in scoring tonight by Jurrien Sparks who continues to shine especially late in the season with a 19 point, 10 rebound double-double.

Vincent Warren rounded out the Knights that were in double figures with 12 points as well to go along with five boards. Cade Baker had a great game nearly having a double-double the hard way. Baker had nine points and an impressive eight assists in his second to last game as a Knight.
 
The Knights as a team shot 40.8% from the field which included going 10-23 from distance good enough for an impressive 43.5%. Unfortunately, the Knights as a team had a tough time at the charity stripe only making seven out of their 20 attempts good enough for 35%. The Raiders of Southern Oregon shot lights out shooting an even 50% in the first half and followed that performance with a second half that saw them shoot 60.98%. Combined, the Raiders shot 56.3% from the game. The bench points was a huge stat in this game as the Raiders had a crazy 69 points contributed from the bench to just 20 for the Knights.
