KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Maddie Miller scored a pair of goals for Oregon Tech, but Kiya Gramps added a pair of goals for Warner Pacific, as the two sides played to a 2-2 Cascade Conference women's soccer draw at the OIT Soccer Field.
 
The physical match was near even – as Tech (5-4-5, 4-3-4 CCC) held a 14-12 edge in total shots, with the Knights recording a 5-3 edge in corners.  The teams combined for 22 fouls and three cautions.
 
The Lady Owls opened the scoring just four minutes into the contest – as Sylvia Sloss played a free kick from the right side of the field, with Miller redirecting the ball into the left corner of the net.
 
Miller scored again in the 14th minute on a breakaway – but the goal was nullified due to an offsides call.
 
WPU (6-9-3, 3-6-2) picked up the pressure in the second half – nearly tying the score in the 59th minute on a Kaitlin Hirasa low liner – but OIT keeper Sydni Nakamura dove and made a stellar stop.
 
Ten minutes later, the Knight broke through. Off a corner, Jackie Castellanos touched a shot from the left side of the box off the left post – with the rebound finding the foot of Gramps, who found the open net to tie the score.
 
In the 71st minute, Miller gave the Owls the lead back – taking a cross from Ashley Hart in the middle of the box and ripping a one-timer into the right corner of the net.
 
Unfortunately for the hosts, WPU responded – as Gramps collected a loose ball in the area and flicking a shot off the left post and in to make it 2-2.
 
Over the final 15 minutes – the two defenses stepped up, allowing just one total shot – an Alexadria Trinidad 18-yard chance in the 85th minute stopped by Knights keeper Katie Pomerinke.
 
Nakamura made six saves on the day for OIT, with Pomerinke stopping three shots.
 
OIT closes out the regular-season tomorrow at Noon, hosting Multnomah, as the team honors three seniors – Miller, Sloss and Halle Adair.
