Trailing 37-22 at the half, Owen-Withee unleashed a monster second half, outscoring Colby 52-27 and picked up a 74-64 Cloverbelt Conference victory.
The first half saw Colby run out to a 15 point advantage and it appeared the Hornets were cruising to victory. Owen-Withee came out and dominated play after intermission, however, led by seniors Carter Klabon and Caleb Geldernick. Klabon scored 23 of his game-high 32 points and Geldernick scored 18 of his 20 points after the break.
Owen-Withee scoring: Ackerman 2, Hatlestad 11, Henke 2, Klabon 31, Gutowski 8, Geldernick 20
Colby scoring: Meyer 11, Rue 10, Lopez 16, Healy 16, Wiese 11
