Lady Owls Fall to Warriors in Season Opener

ROCKLIN, Calif. –Oregon Tech (0-1) fell behind in the first quarter and struggled to catch up despite a 13-4 run in the fourth, falling 74-58 to William Jessup University (2-0) on Friday afternoon in the second game of the Bill Holtz Warrior Classic in the Warrior Arena.
 
"We played hard and competed throughout the game, however the 22 turnovers were really more than we could overcome," said Head Coach Scott Meredith. "We certainly have to tighten up things defensively, but I expect we're going to learn an awful lot about our team through watching video next week. Tomorrow we play an even better team in Masters who just beat the number two in the country Southeastern, so we're going to need to bring our A game tomorrow."
 
After trailing the Lady Owls early in the first period, the Warriors rode into the lead on an 8-1 run – a lead that they would not lose for the rest of the game.
 
Tech came within two points of the lead in the third quarter on an 8-2 run, but Jessup struck back, going on a 16-to-4 run to end the third and opening the fourth with a 9-2 run to reach their highest lead of 23 points.
 
After going 13-for-4, the Owls struggled to advance further as William Jessup boosted their defense, holding out to the games end.
 
Freshman Maddyson Tull led the Lady Owls with 11 points before fouling out in the fourth. Sophomore Kristin Farrell added another 10 points and fellow sophomore Courtney Clemmer and junior Amanda Constant each tallied nine.
 
Clemmer also grabbed 11 rebounds, leading Tech to a 39-35 rebounding edge, and freshman Eastyn Reeves added five assists and seven points in the loss.
 
The Warriors tallied 13 steals in the game and forced 22 turnovers, earning an important 22-13 edge in points off turnovers.
 
Miranda Zaragoza led Jessup with a double-double, earning 17 points and 11 rebounds. JoeLyn Stirton followed with 12 points, four assists, and six rebounds, and Liz Gehweiler and Aycee Willis each added 11 points, with Gehweiler tallying five assists.
 
Oregon Tech held a 17-13 advantage from their bench, while William Jessup led in the paint with a 40-20 edge.
 
The Lady Owls will remain in Rocklin to challenge NAIA D1 No.4 The Masters (Calif.) tomorrow at 10:00am before returning to Klamath Falls to face off against Pacific Union on Saturday, November 9th at 8:00pm.
