KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Career nights from Kaitlyn Wright and Kendall Fealey helped Oregon Tech win their fourth in a row, stopping Evergreen State, 78-62, inside Danny Miles Court.
 
The Lady Owls (10-3, 6-1 CCC) recorded a season-high 19 steals, turning 24 TESC turnovers into 31 points, with the OIT bench scoring 39 points. Wright scored 14 points in the win and Fealey added 12.
 
Sydney Vanness canned a long 3-pointer to give the Geoducks (1-8, 1-6) a 7-3 lead three minutes into the game – but the visitors missed 13 of their next 14 field goal attempts. The Owls took advantage, outscoring TESC 22-2 over the 10-minute span. Fealey started the rally with consecutive 3-pointers, Brooke Anderson canned a triple, with Wright adding a lay-up in the flurry – as Tech extended the lead to 40-19 at the half.
 
Kennedy Tull hit a trey and added a lay-up early in the third quarter, with a Tatum Schmerbach 3-point play capping a 10-0 run that gave the Lady Owls their largest lead at 50-23. TESC battled back, as Vanness hit a 3-ball and a lay-up, part of a 16-4 run that cut the lead to 54-39 – as the Geoducks made 10-of-14 field goals in the period.
 
The margin dwindled to 70-58 on a Vanness 3-pointer with two minutes remaining, but a Maddyson Tull put-back bucket and a Fealey transition lay-up closed out the OIT win.
 
Schmerbach had 10 points, six rebounds and eight assists, Maddyson Tull had 10 points and five rebounds, with Anderson leading Tech with a career-high eight rebounds.
