KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Kiah Wetzell scored on a 1-v-1 attack in the 73rd minute for the lone goal of the afternoon, as Oregon Tech ran their home unbeaten streak to 36 with a 1-0 victory over Rocky Mountain.
 
Logan Kashima won a ball in the defensive third and played a short pass to Sylvia Sloss – with the midfielder rocketing a perfect through-ball behind the Battlin' Bears (2-4-3, 0-2-2 CCC) defense. Wetzell ran on the perfect pass, dribbled 20 yards and beat keeper Mila Allison, slotting home a left-footed dart for the eventual winner.
 
"Today showed a lot of heart and desire, especially from our bench," said head coach Tom Eichelkraut. "Our captains did phenomenal, dictating the pace needed to take back control of the game."
 
The Lady Owls (3-1-3, 2-0-2) played a defensive first half – taking just two shots – but the effort limited the Bears to just six shots on the afternoon.  Tech clamped down the final 30 minutes of the match – not allowing a Rocky shot attempt.
 
Sydni Nakamura needed to make just one save to earn her third-consecutive shutout and fourth of the season.
 
Both teams had six shots on the day, with OIT holding a 5-1 edge in corner kicks.
 
Tech closes out the weekend tomorrow with a 12 p.m. kickoff vs. Providence.
