CORVALLIS, Ore. – Oregon Tech players swept the weekly Rize Laboratory-Cascade Conference softball weekly awards, as Maggie Buckholz earned Player of the Week honors and Mckenzie Staub was named Pitcher of the Week.
 
Buckholz, a senior from Silverton, led a dominant Lady Owls offensive attack that outscored Warner Pacific, 48-4, in the 4-game series sweep. The right fielder was 7-for-12 in the series, including three doubles, a triple and a grand slam home run, recording 10 RBI on the weekend. She is riding a 6-game hit streak and leads the team with a .419 batting average and 28 RBI.
 
Staub, a junior from Hillsboro, became the first OIT player in program history to throw two career perfect games – retiring all 15 WPU batters in the Game 4 victory. The right-hander earned two victories in the series, allowing no earned runs on three hits in 10 innings of work, striking out 10.
 
The Lady Owls put an 8-game win streak on the line this weekend, traveling to Kirkland, Wash., for a 4-game series at Northwest University.
