SALEM, Ore. - The Southern Oregon football team will be back in action Saturday night when they travel to Salem to face the NCAA Division III Bearcats of Willamette University.

The game will be the fourth of nine on the season for the Raiders (1-2) as well as their third road game of 2007.

The Raiders should fare well against the Bearcats (1-2) after taking a week and gaining some recovery time after their 37-11 loss to Division I-FCS Idaho State two weeks ago.

Willamette’s most recent game ended in a 14-7 victory over California Lutheran, giving the Bearcats their first win of the season.

The two teams’ most recent match-up came in the 2005 season, when the Bearcats won 34-28 in double overtime.

Although Willamette earned the win in their last meeting, historically the Raiders have the upper hand, leading 13-12 in the series.

You can hear the game live on FullAccessSports.com at 5:45 p.m.
