KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Maddie Miller scored the go-ahead goal off a set-piece in the 54th minute and the Oregon Tech defense made the lead stand up, as the Lady Owls recorded their 200th win in program history, a 2-1 victory over Menlo College at the OIT Soccer Field.
 
The Owls (1-1-1) ran their home win streak to 20 with the victory and extended their home unbeaten streak to 34.
 
"The ladies responded well today after a quick turn around from a long road trip," said OIT Tom Eichelkraut. "We implemented everything we worked on yesterday from our set play to better shot selections. I'm particularly impressed with those that came off the bench. It was a hard fought team effort against a team that is very pacey and dangerous on the counter."
 
Tied 1-1 early in the second half, Kiah Wetzell made a long run down the right side and was fouled just outside the box. Sylvia Sloss stepped up and curled a left-footed service around a 4-player wall to the unmarked Miller at the top of the 6-yard-box – with the senior slotting home the 27th goal of her OIT career.
 
The Tech defense did the rest – as center backs Carly Moss and Karly White controlled the defensive third – with keeper Sydni Nakamura facing just five shots all afternoon. The Oaks (2-1-1) had one quality chance in the 76th minute, as a long cross eluded Nakamura – finding an unmarked Haleigh Stoddard, but her point-blank sitter from 10-yards out missed high.
 
OIT took a 1-0 first half lead on a 25-yard rocket from Shalynai Naputi, but MC answered off a corner kick, as Paola Honde headed home the feed from Kori-Ann Koverman at the back post.
 
The Lady Owls finished with a 11-5 edge in total shots – including a 4-2 edge in shots on frame.
 
The victory was the first for Eichelkraut, with the Lady Owls needing 22 seasons plus three matches to reach the 200-win plateau.
 
Tech has next week off in preparation for their Cascade Conference openers – Sept. 16 at Evergreen and Sept. 17 at Northwest.
