KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – The Oregon Tech Lady Owls held Northwest Christian University to just 17 second half points and both Brittany Cherry and Jazzy McDaniel added double-doubles, as the Owls moved to a 63-46 victory over NCU in Cascade Collegiate Conference play tonight at Danny Miles Court.

After a 7-7 tie, back-to-back Jenneca Crocker 3-pointers pushed the Beacons to a 13-7 lead. Kelsey New  remaining in the fist period.   A Morgan Hofman driving layup gave the Owls a brief lead, before NCU would tie it up at 21 on a pair of free throws.
