KLAMATH FALLS, Ore-- Oregon Tech (2-0) completed the sweep of Bushnell (1-3) 89-68 in an offensive onslaught at Danny Miles Court on Saturday night. As a team, the Owls shot a blistering 54% from the field en-route to the blowout victory.
 
"We really executed defensively in the first 25 minutes," said head coach Justin Parnell. "Bushnell made some nice adjustments to counter what we were doing but our guys competed. It was a nice start to this spring season and this group will continue to get better with more practices under their belt."
 
The Owls came out in the first half shooting lights out at a whopping 55% from the floor. The Owls spread out the scoring very well and had a 23 point lead 10 minutes into the game, holding the Beacons scoreless for the first six minutes.
 
The hot start from Tech allowed them to build a 47-26 lead at halftime over a Beacons' side who only shot 34.6%
 
The pace would be very even in the 2nd half as each team scored 42 points in the final frame. The Beacons shot 58% from the floor which was a game-high but wasn't enough for them to pull off an incredible comeback.
 
Kaden Sand was a key to that great shooting performance for Bushnell as he had a game-high 23 points.
 
The Owls would hang on to the 20 point advantage and advance to 2-0.
 
Harrison Steiger led the Owls, scoring 15 points on 4-6 shooting.
 
Erik Fraser also contributed well for the Owls scoring 11 points, while Kaison Faust and Garret Albrecht both had 10.
 
The Hustlin' Owls will return to action next week to face off with Corban in Salem, Ore.
