The Ovid-Elsie Lady Marauders improved to 12-2 on the season after defeating Stockbridge (8-7) on the road Tuesday night, 64-40.  Ovid-Elsie would knock down 11 triples on the night including nine in the first half.

"We had one of our best shooting practices last night," said Head Coach Ryan Cunningham.  "We knew they were going to play a zone and we were able to force them out of that pretty quick."

Ava Bates went 5 for 5 from behind the arc in the first half en route to 19 first-half points while Evalyn Cole and Lilian Bates also connected on multiple threes.

"They went to a box and one on Ava in the second half to slow her down, but Lily and Evalyn stepped up," said Cunningham.  "We have a very selfless group of kids and when they were trying to take Ava out of the game, we found ways to get others involved."

Bates would finish with 19 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 assists while Cole also scored 19 points and added 3 rebounds, 7 assists, and 4 steals.  Lilian Bates finished with 12 points and Braeden Tokar chipped in with 6 points, 4 steals, and 2 assists.  Hailee Campbell (7 rebounds, 4 steals, 2 assists) and Francesca Giacobbe each had three points and Ellyanna Carman added two points and 3 assists.

Ovid-Elsie shot 46% from behind the arc and 42% on the game.  The Lady Marauders also shot 73% (11-15) from the free-throw line and handed out 18 assists on 21 made baskets.  While Stockbridge out-rebounded OE 25-18, Ovid-Elsie was able to collect 14 steals on 17 Panther turnovers.
