Kreiser Sets Career High, Leads Owls Past Lions
/
KLAMATH FALLS, Ore. – Sophomore Abby Kreiser notched a career high 22 points on Saturday night at Danny Miles Court to lead the Lady Owls (9-4 CCC 15-8) past Multnomah University (5-9 CCC, 9-13) 71-55.
"Thank goodness we shot the ball well from the field tonight because I was rather unimpressed with the rest of our game," said head coach Scott Meredith. "It can be tough to replicate the kind of intensity we had against Warner Pacific yesterday, but playing on back to back nights is the Cascade Conference. However, I'm thrilled with the win and the sweep. The team accomplished what they set out to do this weekend."
