Playing their second game in consecutive days, the JV Lady Marauders continued how they ended Tuesday and used a strong defensive effort to help defeat Chesaning 29-13. The win makes the JV ladies 13-3 (10-0 MMAC) with only 3 games remaining.

An 11-0 1st quarter was the result of defensive pressure and good passing overall - with OE taking a 16-2 lead into halftime. While the Indians made more of a run in the 3rd quarter, OE still outscored them 11-8 before finishing off the final stanza with Chesaning outscoring OE 2-3.

"I was happy with the way the team played defensively overall throughout the night," Coach Belill stated. "It's been a work in progress throughout the season, and it's awesome to see things start to click on the defensive end for the team."

Beyond solid defense, Ovid-Elsie would out rebound the Indians 30-7, while turning them over 23 times on the night - 12 of those being steals.

El Carman paced the Marauders with 11 points, 3 rebounds, and 2 steals. Tava Kvalevog (5 points), Maddie Thornton (4 points, 7 rebounds, 4 steals), Aubrey Kurka (3 points, 8 rebounds, 2 steals, 2 assists), Haylee Palus (2 points, 2 steals), Natalie Stoneman (2 points), and Trinity Ziola (2 points, 8 rebounds, 2 assists) rounded out the scoring.

With Mt. Morris not having a JV team, the ladies will be off until next week before they finish out with 3 games in 4 days (Home vs. Oakland Christian Monday, at Goodrich Tuesday, and home vs. New Lothrop on Thursday) to end the season. All games are slated for 5:30 PM starts.
