Oxford 4, Delhi 1

 DELHI – Coming off a strong finish at the Section IV Class C-D championships last weekend, Oxford won the rubber match of its three-match series with Delhi for the overall Midstate Athletic Conference title.

The two schools split the regular season matchups, and a tiebreaker Tuesday afternoon was scheduled to determine the outright titlist.

The Blackhawks’ two Ericas – DeWispelaere and LaTourette – came away with decisive straight sets wins at first and second singles to set the tone. DeWispelaere, third in the Class C singles tournament, nearly blanked Carlene Bracci winning 6-0, 6-1. LaTourette was nearly as impressive winning 6-2, 6-0 over Emily Nelson.

Shelby Myers and Patty Anthony took first doubles in straight sets (6-4, 7-6), while Oxford’s second doubles duo of Olivia Powell and Danielle Backus won in three sets over Jackie Prindle and Justine Alwine.

The victory clinches the Blackhawks’ first MAC championship in tennis.
