No. 20 Owls Too Much for Eagles

Box Score KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – The No. 20 ranked Oregon Tech Owls snapped a two game losing streak as they defeated the NU Eagles, 83-72, on Danny Miles Court tonight in Cascade Conference play.
 
The two teams would battle back and forth in a low scoring first half with neither team leading by more than six points during the 20 minutes of play. With NU trailing, Tanner Davis would make it a 19-17 game with 7:55 to go on the clock, but Tech would then reel off a 9-4 run to take a 28-21 lead at the 5:03 mark. OIT would maintain that distance until Josh Meyer would hit a 3-pointer with 45 seconds on the clock to make it a 32-28 Owl lead. After two OIT free throws, Justice Martion would close the half with a jumper with 7 seconds to go to make it a 34-30 game at the half.
 
Meyer would hit another 3-pointer with 12:58 left in the second half to cut the OIT lead to 50-42, but a 16-6 Oregon Tech run would increase their lead to 66-48 with 6:38 showing on the clock.
