A championship parade and celebration of the Southern Oregon University softball team’s NAIA World Series title is set for Wednesday afternoon.

Starting at 3:30 p.m., the Raiders will make their way from the corner of Mountain Avenue and Siskiyou Boulevard to the front of Lithia Motors Pavilion for a trophy presentation.

The Raiders returned on Friday from Georgia, where they completed an improbable run through the World Series elimination bracket with seven consecutive wins to become national champions for the fourth time in six years.

The presentation will be the last chance to celebrate 10 seniors, most of whom also helped the Raiders capture the title in 2023.
