The second quarter The Owls took command and never looked back. Thanks to a great defensive effort and outburst by freshman Owen Franklin the Owls held the Cardinals to just seven 2nd quarter points to take a 37-32 lead into the locker room.

The second half remained close the whole way as the Cardinals wouldn’t go away as Colton continued to dominate and score but Grant Huebel also dominated as most the first half he was scoring from the interior he moved out to the wing the second half and continued to knock down big shots as the Owls pulled away a 74-64 victory over Whittemore-Prescott.
