With a 55-14 win over Durand Friday night, the Ovid-Elsie Lady Marauders have guaranteed themselves at least a share of the Mid-Michigan Activities Conference title.  This is Ovid-Elsie's third straight conference championship. With two games to go in conference play, the Lady Marauders could secure it outright with a win over Montrose on Wednesday or at Chesaning on Friday.

"Our team was pretty locked in tonight, especially on the defensive side," said Head Coach Ryan Cunningham.  "We had to make some adjustments in our lineup and rotations due to a couple of injuries, but we had a lot of kids step up tonight and contribute."

Braeden Tokar had a game-high 20 points to go along with 4 rebounds, 3 steals, and 3 assists while Hailee Campbell chipped in with 12 points, 4 rebounds, 2 steals, and 2 assists.  Evalyn Cole had another solid night adding 10 points, 6 rebounds, 6 assists, and 4 steals.  Tava Kvalevog added 6 points, 4 rebounds, and 3 assists, Ellyanna Carman 3 points, 4 rebounds, and 2 steals, and McKenzie Keck (3 rebounds) and Lilian Bates (6 rebounds) each scored two points.

It was a tight first quarter as Ovid-Elsie led 11-8 but then turned things up with a 14-3 second quarter.  The staunch OE defense held Durand scoreless in the third (18-0) and finished the game with a 12-3 effort in the final stanza.

Ovid-Elsie (16-2, 10-0 MMAC) out-rebounded Durand (10-10, 5-6 MMAC) 37-22 and handed out 17 assists on 24 made field goals.  The Lady Marauders also collected 15 steals on 22 Railroader turnovers and shot 44% on the game including 58% from two-point range.

Ovid-Elsie will be off until Wednesday when Montrose will come to town and then will travel to Chesaning on Friday night.  Both games are slated for 5:30 p.m.
