GIRLS' BASKETBALL

Oxford 51, Unadilla Valley 43

OXFORD - Oxford needed a big second half to turn the tide against Unadilla Valley and escape with an eight-point victory on Tuesday night.

Despite its four-win total on the season, the Storm have been competitive in a number of games where it just fell short.

UV (4-14) took a one-point lead into halftime keyed by a big 3 from Kadence York.

The Storm expanded their lead to 33-28 midway through the third following consecutive buckets from Madison Sayles, Keona Courtright, and Jaiden Schrag.

Oxford closed the quarter with a 7-0 lead, and took the lead at the end of the stanza following a Madison Long 3 ball.

The Blackhawks' Madalyn Barrows spearheaded the Oxford offense in the fourth scoring 13 of Oxford's 16 points, and she finished with a game-high 37.

Barrows' 37 points tied her with Oxford graduate Maureen McBride (1984) with 1,037 career points, which is tied for third on the school's all-time mark.

"Madalyn was able to get to the basket and the foul line for a huge night," said Oxford coach Chris Palmer.  "We were able to get solid minutes out of all nine players, including a momentum-changing 3 from Madison (Long)."

Schrag led UV's scorers with 11 points, and Sayles finished with 10.
