OXFORD – Oxford rebounded from a MAC tournament finals loss a week ago beating Unadilla Valley a second time this season.
A technical foul assessed on UV with just under four minutes to play led to two free throws for Alex Champlin and a bucket by Tom Gould to open a 53-48 lead.
Unadilla Valley, down by 11 points in the first half, picked up steam in the third quarter keyed by Raffi Perry’s 10 third-quarter points. A Mason Wyman hoop gave UV its only lead of the second half, 49-48.
“They made some adjustments from the first time we played them, and it was nice for us to win a close game,” said Oxford coach Tim Davis.
