KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Brock Rideout had a Senior Day to remember, as the Oregon Tech veteran scored a goal and assisted on two others, helping Oregon Tech secure the No. 2 seed in the Cascade Conference Championships with a 3-2 victory over Multnomah University.
 
The Owls (11-1-4, 10-1-2 CCC) will meet Eastern Oregon a week from Monday in the tournament quarterfinals, with kickoff set for 5 p.m. in Springfield, Ore.
 
A pair of goals within a minute gave OIT a 2-0 lead. In the 34th minute, Rideout headed home a Kevin Rodriguez corner kick to give the hosts the advantage, while moments later, the senior played a ball from the end line right of the goal to a waiting Cade O'Neill, who buried his team-leading 12th goal of the year.
 
The Lions (7-10-1, 4-9) answered quickly, as Michael Appiah made a long run down the right side, playing a perfect cross in front of the goal to the waiting Nicolas Perdomo-Pinzon, tapping home the feed.
 
Leading 2-1, Tech added a key goal early in the second half, as Rideout played a feed to a waiting Andrew Pasang, ripping home his eighth goal of the year. The tally would be important, as Appiah scored inside the final minute of play for MU to close out the day.
 
OIT finished with a 11-9 edge in shots and a 4-2 edge in corner kicks.
 
It marked the final home game for six OIT seniors – O'Neill, Rideout, Joel Witts, John Sarna, Reilly Combs and Roni Rountree.
