KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Olivia Sprague led three Oregon Tech players in double-figures with 18 points, as the Lady Owls won their fifth in a row, stopping Corban University, 66-53, at Danny Miles Court.
 
OIT (10-4, 6-2 CCC) never trailed in the contest, pulling into a tie with Bushnell for fourth place in the conference standings – with the two teams meeting tomorrow afternoon at 3 p.m. to close out the homestand.
 
"It was great to be back home," said OIT point-guard Gabbie Gascon. "We love playing in front of our fans. Tonight, was a total team effort."
 
The Owls scored the first seven points – as Alexis Elquist splashed a 3-pointer, Maddison Tull banked home a lay-up and Melissa Lee canned a 15-foot baseline jumper. Sprague extended the lead to 15-7 at the end of the period with a transition basket.
 
The Warriors (8-6, 5-3) cut the deficit to 17-15 on a Maddie Godwin triple, but Lee scored four-straight points and both Sprague and Elquist hit runners, pushing the OIT edge to 25-15.
 
Corban scored the first four points of the second half, pulling within 31-27 – but Tech answered with a 9-2 run and led by as many as 15 – handing the Warriors their worst loss of the season.
 
Sprague had five assists and four rebounds for the Owls, Tull posted 13 points, Lee scoring 11 points, five rebounds and four steals, with Elquist scoring eight points. OIT forced 18 turnovers, leading to 22 points.
 
Holly Golenor led the Warriors with 18 points and 11 rebounds, with Godwin scoring 16. Corban had a 40-39 edge on the glass, but converted just 5-of-25 3-point attempts.
