KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Oregon Tech snapped a 3-game losing streak in convincing fashion, as the Hustlin' Owls converted 57-percent of their field goals attempts in a 105-69 win over Pacific Union at Danny Miles Court.
 
Keegan Shivers connected on 6-of-8 3-pointers, scoring 18 points with 10 rebounds, as OIT (2-3) improved to 15-0 all-time vs. PUC.
 
"We had a great week of practice," Shivers said. "It was great to be back home after a long road trip and feed off the energy of our great home crowd."
 
Two early buckets from Kody Bauman started an 8-0 over the first three minutes – as the Owls never trailed in the contest. The Pioneers (0-6) clawed within 23-19 after 3-pointers from Lorenzo Lentini and Sterlen Thomas – but following an OIT timeout, the hosts rattled off 11-straight points, capped by a Bauman inside jumper.
 
OIT put the game away early in the second half, as Shivers drained three-straight 3-pointers – part of a 17-2 run to open the frame – extending the margin to 69-36.
 
Nine different Hustlin' Owls scored 8-or-more points – as Joey Potts scored 13 points with five blocks and Bauman adding 10 points and seven boards. Kam Osborn had nine points with five assists, Erik Fraser scored nine, while Jamison Guerra, Grant Tull, Blake Jensen and Kaison Faust all scored eight.
