Sidney 6, Oxford 2

OXFORD – Dani Gravel and Stephanie Meno broke loose for three goals apiece, as Sidney pulled away for the win at Oxford Monday night.

After trading goals with the Blackhawks most of the first half, Meno scored her second tally of the game at 16:34 to break a 2-2 tie.

Gravel had early goals at 32:07 and 26:23 of the second half to build a three-goal cushion. “I don’t think we communicated as well on the defensive end as we have been,” said Oxford coach Kathleen Cragle. “They are quick up front and get to the open spaces.”

Kim Shackelton and Amanda Brown had goals for Oxford, who host G-MU Thursday.
