Big afternoons from juniors Savanna Sterck and Willow Jacobson led Oregon Tech to a women’s volleyball sweep of Lewis-Clark State, posting a 26-24, 25-19, 25-17 victory Saturday at Danny Miles Court.
The win for the Lady Owls (14-10, 7-9 Cascade Collegiate Conferece) extended a home win streak to four, giving OIT a potential tiebreak edge on LCSC in the race for the Cascade Conference tournament.
