Lady Owls Win Four-Set Battle over LC-State to Advance to Conference Semifinals

KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. - Third-seeded Oregon Tech (23-5) held off a late comeback attempt from sixth-seed Lewis-Clark State (16-14) on Tuesday night, winning a 3-1 thriller. The victory for Tech was highlighted by a 25-11 fourth set victory that advances the Owls on to CCC Semifinals. In the semifinals, Tech will face off against second-seed Eastern Oregon (24-6) on Friday at Corban University at 3:30 p.m.
 
"I am excited we were able to come out on top against a very physical LC State team," said head coach Ken Murczek. "It was great to see some players come off the bench for us tonight and perform at a high level. What great support from the Oregon Tech students! I am excited to see us play in the conference semifinals against No. 12 Eastern Oregon on Friday"

After a competitive first two sets, it was no surprise that the third set would be a turning point in the match.
 
With all the momentum up for grabs, Tech stormed out of the gate grabbing a blowout victory in set 3.
 
Tech grabbed an 11-5 lead which ballooned to 18-8, before settling at its peak at 25-11.
 
From that point, with the crowd spurring them on, Tech grabbed a fourth set victory to win the match.
 
Lewis-Clark State had staved off two match points, but when Tech sealed the victory, the faithful at Danny Miles erupted to a noise level that surely was a season-high.
 
The Owls came up big in a few major categories which attributed to the win:
 
Attack Percentage: .200 to .135
Kills: 47 to 43
Aces: 7 to 3
Errors: 20 to 25
Blocks: 10 to 7
Assists: 42 to 37
 
Two individuals reached double figures in kills for the Owls: Kaylin Talonen (16) and Faith Houck-Wylie (12), Molly Grace would add 9.
 
Courtney Isom also displayed a strong performance tallying up 23, 8 digs, and 3 aces.
 
Tech's trip to the CCC Semifinals is their second in as many years, as the Ken Murczek rebuild continues to improve and impress.
