Note: A senior night photo will be in a later edition of The Evening Sun.
OXFORD – The Lady Blackhawks came away with their 10th win of the 2019-2020 season, taking down Unadilla Valley 54-30 on the night they honored the five seniors set to graduate in June.
Prior to the start of the game, head coach Chris Palmer honored the five seniors – Caitlyn Quigley, Ellie Ryan, Taylor Moore, Jada Albin and the late Amelia Wakefield – for the years of hard work and dedication to the Oxford girls’ program.
Fired up to play in front of the home crowd, the Lady Blackhawks jumped out to a 13-5 lead after the first quarter and built the advantage to 14 points before the intermission.
Oxford was able to gain the large margin in the first half due to their rebounding. The Blackhawks out-rebounded the UV Storm 40-29 and the upper hand came on the offensive end of the floor. Off the five extra second-chance opportunities, Oxford scored 10 points over the course of the game.
Unadilla Valley had a rough night shooting the ball, going 11-for-44 (25-percent) from the floor. The Storm shook off the slow start in the first to score 10 points in the second quarter, building a little bit of momentum before the halftime break.
Out of the locker room to start the third, UV’s offense continued the pace as they outscored the host Blackhawks 11-8 to chip away at the deficit before the final eight minutes of play.
Unfortunately for the Lady Storm, the strong offensive surge from the second and third quarters stalled. Unadilla Valley put just four points on the scoreboard in the fourth while Oxford went on a 17-point run, pushing their lead to win by the final tally of 24 points.
The Storm and the Blackhawks both had balanced scoring throughout the team. UV was led by Kyleigh George and Keona Courtright as each player finished with eight points. Kayla Christian ended the night with six points, Meegan White scored five and Kadence York chipped in with three.
Oxford had four players register double figures in the scoring column and one record a double-double. Karley Miller scored a game-high 16 points and grabbed 13 rebounds. Teammate Olivia Kelsey was one board shy of matching Miller’s statistical performance, pulling in nine while tallying 10 points in the win.
Also scoring 10 points on the night were Madalyn Barrows and Quigley and senior colleague Ellie Ryan finished with eight points.
Oxford now waits for the seeds in the Midstate Athletic Conference mini-tournament. Since there are still make-up games happening, the seeds will be determined later this week.
