Head Coach Brandon Porter on his teams win, "Well we certainly worked hard for that great result. We generated a lot of good opportunities and made the most of the ones we needed. We need to tidy a few things up in the midfield but I think our mids certainly put in the work for us. We had some solid performances from our veterans and some surprisingly good games from our newcomers. Overall, a great team result and now we can focus on a really quality opponent in UC Merced."
 
The Owls will stay in California and play at UC Merced at noon on Monday before returning to Oregon Tech for their home opener against Humboldt State next Friday, September 8 at noon.
