MONMOUTH --- While it was the first meeting between Western Oregon and Southern Oregon football in 15 years, the trend continued as the Wolves moved their win streak over the NAIA No. 22 Raiders to 11 games with a convincing 27-7 win Saturday at McArthur Field.

WOU (1-0) held SOU (1-1) to 28 yards rushing and 320 yards of offense overall - 88 coming on the final drive of the game with the game well in hand.

Offensively, Jermaine Land paced the Wolves with 139 rushing yards on 19 carries while Terayon Sweet added 58 yards and a score and quarterback Kainoa Jones added two more scores on the ground.

The turning point came late in the second quarter and WOU leading 13-0. The Wolves got the ball with 18 seconds left on the SOU 48 when Jordan McCarty found Cody Hall for a 25-yard pass before McCarty threw a perfect pass into the corner of the end zone for a diving Erick Gonzalez-Bejar to make the score 20-0 at the half. WOU eventually grew the lead to 27-0 in the third quarter before a fourth-quarter score by the Raiders kept them from being shut out.

McCarty finished 8-for-17 passing for 137 yards, a touchdown and an interception while Jones was 5-for-10 for 33 yards and an interception while adding the two rushing scores. Keyvaun Eady had a team-high 73 yards receiving on two catches while Cody Hall led the team with four catches for 50 yards.

Dylan Camp had a big debut defensively for the Wolves, leading the team with eight tackles (one for a loss) while adding an interception and two pass breakups. Malcolm Liufau had an interception to go along with three tackles and four quarterback hurries.

WOU returns to action Saturday at Cal Poly.
