Second-half surge lifts WOLL past Oxford
WATERFORD — It’s not a secret that Waterford Our Lady of the Lakes has made from outside the three-point arc in the last two years during the Lakers’ Class D state championship seasons.
So when the shots from outside the arc are not falling this season, it’s also not a secret that WOLL stays on somewhat of an even playing field. The Lakers found that out Tuesday night — for a half.

It was an 18-4 third-quarter run that turned a four-point deficit into a 35-25 advantage the fourth quarter, Lakes continued to pull away with a15-9 spurt.
Carlee Cottrell, who was a key addition last season after transferring over from Auburn Hills Oakland Christian, scored a game-high 20 points t pace WOLL.
