ASHLAND — Southern Oregon seniors Morgan Baird and Meghan McIntyre became the second pair of Raider women’s basketball teammates ever to be placed on NAIA All-America teams in the same season when the 2024-25 awards list was released Monday.

Baird hit the first team — an honor only three other players in program history have received — and McIntyre earned third-team honors. They were among 43 players recognized across the country after pushing the Raiders to a 34-1 record and a spot in the national quarterfinal round.

In her only season at SOU, Baird left a lasting impression with averages of 15.7 points, 4.3 rebounds and 2.4 assists. The forward from Coquille was named the Cascade Conference Player of the Year and was the circuit’s most efficient scorer with a field-goal percentage of 58.3.

Baird scored 20-plus points eight times, including twice in the NAIA National Tournament, where she went 28-of-48 from the field. The Raiders had a 14-point lead against Bethel (Tenn.) in the NAIA quarterfinals when she left with an injury in the third quarter.

McIntyre, SOU’s second-year starting point guard, wrapped her final season with averages of 10.8 points, 4.4 assists and 2.4 steals. She appeared on the CCC leaderboard in all three categories two years in a row, and despite playing only half her career with the Raiders finished 12th on the team’s all-time assists list with 269.

She was one of the NAIA’s top defenders at her position, earning CCC Defensive Player of the Week honors three times this season. Her work helped SOU to the fifth-best defensive rating in the country.

Baird and McIntyre are the 13th and 14th All-Americans in SOU history. They led the Raiders to the NAIA’s only undefeated regular season record — the first in CCC history — and a No. 2 final ranking.

Both honors came on the heels of Carlotta Kloppenburg-Pruitt being named the NAIA Coach of the Year by the Women’s Basketball Coaches Association.

Kloppenburg-Pruitt, Southern Oregon University’s fourth-year head coach, guided the Raiders to a school-record 34 wins this season, capturing Cascade Collegiate Conference regular season and tournament championships.

Baird was also represented on the WBCA’s NAIA All-America list.

SOU has qualified for the national tournament all four seasons under Kloppenburg-Pruitt. She came to SOU after serving for three years as an assistant at San Jose State. With the Raiders, she has accrued a 115-20 record, three CCC Coach of the Year awards, and five conference championship trophies.

Dating back to the 2023-24 campaign, her teams have won 42 consecutive regular-season games. They’ve been top-seven in NAIA defensive rating three of four seasons and this year were seventh in offensive rating.
