LOS ANGELES — The Occidental football team played much better in the second half, putting up all 21 of its points in the 30 minutes, but the Tigers were too overmatched early in a 55-21 loss to Cal Lutheran at Jack Kemp Stadium on Saturday.

Oxy's two biggest plays from scrimmage were nice deep passes from Greaves to Arman Henry, one going for 39 yards and the other for 30 yards.
