OXFORD – The Oxford Blackhawks volleyball team hosted the Delhi Bulldogs this past week for a consolation MAC league game to which Oxford fell victim at home to the Bulldogs by a score of 3-1.

“Even though the girls were not able to pull the win off, each of the girls were able to play in their last home game. I was proud of how they played, especially the girls that did not get much play time this year. They really stepped up to the plate and played well,” said Oxford head coach Kim Martin.

Oxford jumped out to an early 1-0 lead over the Bulldogs by a score of 25-20 in the first set. However, despite the early lead, Delhi battled back for wins in the next three sets of 25-21, 25-22, and 25-19.

The closely contested game featured two of the area's top teams as both will now be advancing to the sectional tournament.
