Oxford 4, Delhi 1

 DELHI – Coming off a strong finish at the Section IV Class C-D championships last weekend, Oxford won the rubber match of its three-match series with Delhi for the overall Midstate Athletic Conference title.

The two schools split the regular season matchups, and a tiebreaker Tuesday afternoon was scheduled to determine the outright titlist.

The Blackhawks’ two Ericas – DeWispelaere and LaTourette – came away with decisive straight sets wins at first and second singles to set the tone. DeWispelaere, third in the Class C singles tournament, nearly blanked Carlene Bracci winning 6-0, 6-1. LaTourette was nearly as impressive winning 6-2, 6-0 over Emily Nelson.
