OXFORD – Before Tuesday’s last home dual meet of the season against Ithaca, Oxford recognized their three seniors Jade SanSoucie, Darren Law and Dakota Freidel.

The night’s first match didn’t have the outcome Oxford’s senior SanSoucie had hope for but her dedication to the sport over the last three years will help her with her future endeavors.

At 138, Blackhawks’ Paul Baker met Section IV Division I Champion Darren Rich. Baker put up a good fight throughout the three periods but Rich took the match with a 13-1 major decision.

Forfeits handed to Oxford’s Seniors Law and Freidel at their respective weight classes, and a pin from Jarrett Wood gave the Blackhawks the lead.

Ithaca’s Warren Russell received a forfeit at 285 to pull within two points of Oxford. A pin by Cooper Rice for the Blackhawks at 106 extended Oxford’s lead back to eight.

The Little Red’s Owen Levine scored six points by way of forfeit, cutting the lead to two again.

A 12-3 major decision for Brady Smith of Oxford over Ithaca’s Kaya Cruz put the Blackhawks ahead for good and teammate Nico Hubbert secured the 34-22 victory for Oxford with a pin over Sam Newlin.
