PORTLAND, Ore. – The Oregon Tech women's basketball team improved to 5-0 in Cascade Conference play and 11-4 overall, winning their 10^th straight with an 81-47 win over Multnomah University (0-4, 3-8) Friday night at Jim Skagen Court.
 
"It was good to get back on the floor and watch our team play," said head coach Scott Meredith. "After a sluggish first quarter, we started to find our rhythm offensively, but I was not pleased with our defense throughout the game. We had a number of strong individual performances, but the 26 assists to only 10 turnovers impressed me the most. It was a good way to start 2020."
 
The Owls outscored the Lions 69-37 over the final three periods after taking a slim 12-10 lead at the end of the first stanza. Tech took its largest lead of 23 points with just 1:21 left in the game. The Owls' bench outscored Multnomah 42 to 13.
 
Tech shot 45% from the floor for the game including 8-of-25 from long range (32%). Amanda Constant led the Owls with 14 points with freshman Emma McKenney adding 11-points, making 3-of-6 from long range.
 
Tech's Abby Kreiser led the Owls with eight of the teams 26 assists on the night.
 
OIT held the Lions to just 29% shooting on the night
 
The Lady Owls will next travel across the Rose City to take on Warner Pacific University Saturday at 5:30 pm. The Owls will have 10-days off before traveling to Southern Oregon University on Tuesday, January 14 in Ashland, Oregon.
