NEW BERLIN – The Unadilla Valley Storm girls’ basketball team came out on top of Monday’s local MAC match-up against Oxford 41-30.

UV slowed up in the final eight minutes, which allowed Oxford to have their best scoring offense of the night with 15 points, but it wasn’t enough for an overall comeback. Jocie Finch led the Blackhawks’ fourth quarter efforts with seven points of her total nine points.
