Lions Fall to Hustlin' Owls

In the final game of the 2019-2020 regular season, the Multnomah University men's basketball team traveled to Kalamath Falls to challenge the No. 8 ranked Oregon Institute of Technology for a chance to make the playoffs as the 8th overall seed. Unfortunately, the Hustlin' Owls topped the Lions 103-89.

Multnomah opened up the game with two long range baskets to take the lead, and from that point on the Hustlin' Owls were playing catch up. A 12-3 run put Tech ahead later in the period, but the Lion's Justin Martin scored back-to-back from long range to regain the advantage.
 
The Owls went 9-for-1 near the end of the half to come within a single point of the lead, but Multnomah held them off to end 45-44.
 
Oregon Tech picked things up in the second half, with Erickson scoring a basket to tie the score and then landing a three-pointer to gain the lead. However, the two teams still had quite the fight ahead of them, and nine lead changes ensued before the Owls took the lead for good with a 17-4 run.

 Justin Martin took game high honors and led the Lions with 41 points, scoring a whopping 11-of-17 from long range and earning six boards and five assists. Trey Fountain followed with 17 points and seven assists, and Stepan Zavydovskyy scored 14 points, seven rebounds, and three blocks.
 
Fink led the Owls with his double-double effort, scoring 34 points, 10 rebounds, and four assists. He was followed by Erickson, who scored 21 and made 3-of-6 from long range, and Garrett Albrecht, who added 17 points and nine rebounds. Sophomore Matt Van Tassell scored 11 and grabbed eight boards.
 
Oregon Tech held a 50-24 rebounding advantage, led 48-26 in the paint and took a 35-0 edge from their bench.

Coach Bickley comments, "I am very proud of this team. They left their heart and soul on that floor tonight. Tremendous group."
