ROCKLIN, Calif. – Oregon Tech improved to 2-1 on the season with a pair of 3-0 wins over San Diego Christian and Mills College to kick-off the William Jessup Invitational at Warrior Arena.
 
"SDC pushed us from the serving line today and got us out of our system a lot, but Camryn Johnson and Chase Bohman did a great job of taking big swings to get us back in our system," said Head Coach Andrew Clifton. "Having Bella Smith out with a concussion, Lindsey Sampson stepped up in her hometown as our Libero and unofficially broke the school record for aces with 9 versus Mills College. Our goals were to continue to improve, get some cohesiveness with starters and tie up some loose ends and we did that today. I am proud of the way the team performed and we are looking forward to playing tomorrow."
