ASHLAND, Ore. – Danasia Allison hit a go-ahead 3-pointer inside the final three minutes, helping No. 23-ranked Southern Oregon rally past upset-minded Oregon Tech, 62-55, inside Lithia Motors Pavilion.
 
Allison scored a career-high 23 points, including 6-of-7 shooting from 3-point range, helping the Raiders (15-5, 11-3 CCC) overcome a nine-point third quarter deficit.
 
The Lady Owls (13-7, 9-5) controlled the first half – as a pair of 3's from Olivia Sprague and triples from Melissa Lee and Elli Kent fueled a 16-3 run in the opening quarter – giving the visitors an 18-11 edge. The margin would grow to 24-14 early in the second quarter on a Jenna Wallace baseline jumper, with Tech taking a 35-29 lead to the locker room.
 
SOU picked up the defensive pressure after halftime – forcing seven OIT turnovers in the third quarter – eventually tying the score at 47-47 on a Kami Walk 3-pointer.
 
OIT regained the advantage at 53-52 on a pair of Sprague free throws, but Allison answered at the other end of the floor with a corner trey and converted a transition lay-up to give SOU the lead for good.
 
Sprague had 15 points, five rebounds and four assists in the loss – her 21st-straight double-digit scoring game, breaking Nikki McElligott's modern-era record. Maddyson Tull posted 12 points, with Lee scoring 11, adding six rebounds and five assists.
 
Walk scored 13 and Kalei Iwami tallied nine in the win for Southern.
 
Tech returns home this weekend, hosting Multnomah on Friday and Warner Pacific on Saturday.
