PORTLAND, Ore. - For the second time this season the Oregon Tech volleyball team fell to Warner Pacific College, tonight in Portland 25-20, 25-23, 25-13. Warner Pacific picked up their first sweep ever over Oregon Tech, as the Owls drop to 4-16 overall and 3-9 in CCC play.

The Oregon Tech bright spot on the evening came from Megan Christensen and Mikayla Morgan who finished with 13 kills and 10 kills respectively. Christensen also finished with a team-high 12 digs, while Morgan added nine. Joey Larsen added 11 digs to her season total.

Oregon Tech held a 12-11 lead in the opener, but five-straight by the home team stalled the Owls, as the Knights took set 1 by the final of 25-10.

An 8-6 lead in set 2 for the Owls took a quick turn, as WPC went on a 7-0 run to take a 13-8 advantage. Tech fought back to tie it at 23-23, but the Knights got the final two points to take set 2 by the score of 25-23.

After an 8-8 tie in set 3 it was all Warner, as a 17-5 run ended any hopes of an Owl comeback. Warner took the set and match 25-13.
