KLAMATH FALLS, OR. — The (RV) Oregon Tech Hustlin' Owls (19-8, 16-3) dropped a key game in CCC play on Friday night, falling to Multnomah (13-14, 9-10) at the buzzer 82-80. The loss for Tech drops them down to second place in the CCC standings, with three games to play.

Multnomah University 82 Oregon Tech 80

Looking to build momentum off a huge rivalry win on Tuesday night, Tech allowed Multnomah to hang around and eventually win the game late.

It was back and forth all evening, with Tech grabbing sizable leads, then the Lions getting back into it from behind the arch. 

Multnomah shot 15-of-29 from three on Friday, which was a backbreaker for any momentum that Tech attempted to build.

Tech had three players in double figures on Friday night:

Kaison Faust: 19 points on 6-of-8 shooting with four rebounds

Joey Potts: 13 points on 6-of-7 shooting with eight rebounds and four blocks

Garret Albrecht: 12 points on 5-of-7 shooting with eight rebounds

Multnomah was led by Terin Johnson and Zach Richardson, who scored 19 points apiece.

The Hustlin' Owls will return to action tomorrow to face Warner-Pacific at 5pm on senior night where Tech will honor their five seniors (Harrison Steiger, Scotty Burge, Garret Albrecht, Kellen Gerig, and Lachlan McKimm) who will be playing their final regular season home game.
