KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Oregon Tech took advantage of a rough shooting night by the College of Idaho, limiting the Yotes to a season-low scoring output, as the Owls cruised to a 73-47 victory at Danny Miles Court.
Tech (22-8, 16-4 CCC) ran their win streak to 12 in a row with the victory – spoiling an opportunity for the Yotes to host a Cascade Conference Tournament quarterfinal game in Caldwell. C of I finishes the regular-season with a 15-13 record and an 11-9 conference mark, earning the No. 5 seed in the upcoming tourney – traveling Tuesday for a rematch at Southern Oregon.
After an even first 12 minutes of the game, OIT closed the second quarter on an 11-4 run – taking a 28-19 lead to the locker room. The hosts opened the second half on a 10-2 run, including five points from Abby Kreiser, pushing the margin to 46-27 and cruised to the victory.
Mackenzie Royce led C of I with 20 points, making 7-of-14 field goals, including three 3-pointers – but the rest of the squad combined to make just 10-of-50 field goals and 1-of-16 3-point attempts.
Nohea Waiwaiole led OIT with 15 points, 12 rebounds and eight assists, with both Kreiser and Bailey Nelson scoring 10.
The complete CCC Tournament bracket will be released on Sunday afternoon after the completion of the final CCC regular-season game.
