Oxford 2, Delhi 1

OXFORD – Oxford played its third overtime game in as many outings, and the results of each game have gotten better each time.

Emily Smith redirected a crossing pass from Megan Golden at 7:47 of the first overtime to give Oxford (1-1-1) its first win of the season. The Blackhawks lost their opening game in extra minutes, and played to a tie in last week’s game. “I guess we’ve been working our way up,” said Oxford coach Kathleen Cragle.

Down 1-0 to the Bulldogs, Julie Heggie tied the game with a left-footed shot midway through the second half. “We missed quite a few good opportunites either wide or right at the keeper,” Cragle said. “We weren’t communicating well in the first half, but we played much better in the second half.”

Oxford plays at Walton on Friday.
