Women's Basketball: Oregon Tech Pulls Away Late

Klamath Falls, Ore. – Walla Walla women's basketball traveled down to (RV) Oregon Tech for their final regular-season road trip to take on the Owls for a two-game weekend series. Despite the Wolves forcing 21 turnovers and scoring 25 points off those turnovers, the Wolves could not overcome the Owls shooting 55-percent in the second half.
 
THE BASICS: 
 Final:  Walla Walla 59, (RV) Oregon Tech 76
 Records:  Walla Walla (3-23, 1-16 CCC), Oregon Tech (16-11, 10-7 CCC)
 
 GAME NOTES:
  • Midway through the opening quarter, the Wolves sat even in a 7-7 tie, erasing an early 7-2 deficit. The Wolves continued their impressive quarter, as an Isabella Robles three-pointer gave the Wolves a four-point lead at 12-8 with just over two minutes remaining. The Owls responded, however, holding the Wolves scoreless for the remaining part of the quarter while scoring 10 straight points and took an 18-12 lead heading into the second quarter.
  • The Owls extended their lead out to 12 points in the early stages of the second quarter before the Wolves capped off a 5-0 run to cut the deficit to 24-19 after a Jaliyah Casem three-pointer. The Owls extended their lead out to double-digits again before the Wolves chipped into the deficit right before the half came to the close. A Casem layup at the one-minute mark cut the deficit back to five points, as the Owls took a 33-28 lead into the half.
  • The third quarter was controlled by the Owls, as the home team maintained a double-digit lead for most of the quarter, extending the lead out to the largest of the game at 17 before the Wolves cut it down to 14 at the end of the quarter to trail 56-42.
  • The Wolves continued chipping away at the deficit, cutting it down to 58-53 after a Jacqueline Saucedo two-point basket. The Wolves continued to have opportunities down the stretch, as they trailed by six points at 63-57 with four-plus minutes remaining, but the Wolves went cold down the stretch and the Owls ended the game on a 13-2 run to stop the Wolves comeback attempt.
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE:
  • Carolina Montes scored a game-high 17 points and tied the CCC school-record for steals with seven. Isabella Robles (12) and Jacqueline Saucedo (10) were the only other players to score in double digits for the Wolves.
  • Four Owls scored double-digits, led by Maddyson Tull and her 13 points.
  • The Owls were fueled by their bench, outscoring the Wolves 28-2 in the game.
