ASHLAND – Bridgette McIntyre's 3-pointer rimmed off at the buzzer as No. 20-ranked Oregon Tech secured a 50-47 win over Southern Oregon in Cascade Conference play Tuesday evening at Lithia Motors Pavilion. 

The Owls (10-7 overall, 6-3 CCC) trailed 45-44 before Jozie Ramos keyed a late 6-0 run with a couple buckets, finishing with 14 points and five rebounds. Tatum Schmerbach put up 11 points, 13 boards, six assists and three blocked shots. 

Offensive woes haunted the Raiders (11-6, 6-3), shooting 27% from the field on the night and just 2-of-18 in the first quarter. Keeley Wright helped keep SOU in the contest, scoring a career-high 13 points on 6-of-13 shooting, along with five rebounds, three steals and two assists. McIntyre added 13 points with two 3-pointers, five rebounds and five steals.    

Southern's defense held its ground, holding advantages in steals (14-2), turnovers (9-20), and limiting Tech to its lowest point total of the season, but the Owls shot 50% in the fourth to close the game.  

Sage Winslow posted five points, four assists, two steals and two rebounds, and Jenika Zurita went 2-of-4 off the bench with a 3-pointer to score five. Lydia Traore amassed seven rebounds, four steals, four blocks and four points. 

Oregon Tech's Olivia Sprague had 13 points, four rebounds and two assists, and Kendall Fealey played all 40 minutes, finishing with six points, four rebounds and three assists.
