The Ovid-Elsie Lady Marauders traveled to Montrose Tuesday night for an MMAC matchup which saw OE turn away the Lady Rams, 70-19.  Ovid-Elsie used a 31-point third quarter to propel the team to victory.

"I thought we got off to a good start but then got a little stagnant on offense in the second quarter," said Head Coach Ryan Cunningham.  "Our effort in the third quarter was outstanding both offensively and defensively."

Ovid-Elsie held quarter-scoring advantages in each stanza (18-7, 9-3, 31-7, and 12-2) but it was the third quarter that put Montrose away.

Ava Bates led all scorers with 20 points and added 8 rebounds while Evalyn Cole scored 19 points to go along with 4 assists and 5 steals.  Ellyanna Carman added 9 points, 3 rebounds, and 3 steals while Lillian Bates knocked down two triples en route to her 8 points.  Braeden Tokar filled the stat sheet with 6 points, 6 assists, and 2 steals while Hailee Campbell added 4 points, 4 rebounds, and 4 steals.  Francesca Giacobbe and Tava Kvalevog rounded out the Marauder scoring with 2 points each.

"We were a little thin tonight numbers-wise because our kids can only play three games a week," noted Cunningham.  "It was great to see each kid who dressed get into the scoring column and contribute."

Ovid-Elsie shot 49% from the field and 80% from the foul line.  The Lady Marauders also knocked down 8 three-pointers and out-rebounded the Lady Rams 22-19.  OE handed out 19 assists on 27 made baskets while also collecting 23 steals on 36 Montrose turnovers.

Friday night Ovid-Elsie (4-0, 2-0 MMAC) will host New Lothrop (3-0, 2-0 MMAC) for another conference tilt.  Game time is slated for 5:30 p.m.
