In a game that matched up a pair of one-loss teams, Ovid-Elsie would cruise to a 49-21 win over visiting Morrice Tuesday night.  Ovid-Elsie improves to 11-1 while the Orioles drop to 8-2.

After a sluggish start in the first quarter (7-6), the Lady Marauders used a 40-10 run in the middle quarters to put the Orioles away.  Morrice managed to outscore OE 5-2 in the 4th.

"They came out and played a zone and we struggled to connect early on," said Head Coach Ryan Cunningham.  "Once we stopped settling for outside shots and used our defense to fuel our offense, we got going."

Braeden Tokar had a game-high 15 points along with 6 rebounds and 5 steals while Evalyn Cole (6 rebounds, 4 steals, 4 assists) and Ava Bates (9 rebounds, 4 steals, 3 assists) scored 12 points each.  Hailee Campbell chipped in with 4 points and 7 rebounds while McKenzie Keck, Francesca Giacobbe, and Tava Kvalevog each added 2 points.

Ovid-Elsie handed out 13 assists on 20 made baskets and out-rebounded Morrice 37-25.  The Lady Marauders also collected 21 steals on 33 Oriole turnovers.

Next up for the Lady Marauders will be a huge test as the Williamston Hornets come to town on Thursday for a 7:00 p.m. matchup.
