OLYMPIA, Wash. – Blake Jensen scored a career-high 30 points, helping Oregon Tech to their highest scoring total in seven seasons, using a big second half to roll past Evergreen State, 122-92, at Costantino Recreation Center.
 
The No. 24-ranked Hustlin' Owls (16-4, 12-2 CCC) posted their highest scoring game since scoring 122 vs. Northwest Indian College in the 2017-18 season. It was the third highest scoring total in a conference game in program history – trailing only 124-point nights vs. Western Baptist (1990) and Evergreen State (2006).
 
While Jensen dominated the block, the Owls made a season-high 15 3-pointers – including 9-in-a-row spanning the two halves.
 
The Geoducks (1-16, 1-13) hung around in the first half, pulling within 38-37 on a Solomon Campbell jumper with just under four minutes left in the period. A 5-point possession, starting with a 3-point play from Dakota Reber, helped by a TESC technical foul, started a 28-8 run over the next six minutes of game time.

Keegan Shivers canned consecutive triples just before the break to give the Owls a 52-41 lead – adding a pair early in the second half. Kam Osborn added three long 3's, with Erik Fraser and Jay Elmore each knocking down one – as the lead grew to 68-50 just three minutes into the second half.
 
Tech put the game away midway through the half, as a Reber baseline dunk started a 12-0 run, capped by a Jensen 3-point play, extending the margin to 99-73.
 
Jensen was the story, finishing the night 9-of-10 from the field and 12-of-13 from the line – the first 30-point game in three seasons for the club.
 
Both Shivers and Osborn scored 20 – the first time the Hustlin' Owls have had three players score 20-or-more points since the 2017-18 season.  Shivers became the fourth OIT player to score 1,500 points for his career with a first half runner, while moving two 3-pointers away from breaking Tech's all-time record. Osborn made a career-high six 3-pointers in the victory.
 
All 13 players who took the floor for Tech scored in the win, as Reber and Jackson Cooper each scored nine, Fraser scored eight and Elmore added seven.
 
Bradley Graham led TESC with 21 points and Campbell scored 18 in the Geoducks 18th-straight loss to OIT.
 
Tech makes the drive tomorrow to Northwest University for a 5 p.m. tip-off.
