The undefeated Highlanders built a 26-8 lead at the half, keeping the Wildcats off the scoreboard for the first nine minutes of the game, and cruised to a commanding 43-20 victory in OAA White Division play.

Amber Jamison scored a game-high 20 points, equaling Oxford’s total, to pace Adams (15-0, 11-0), which outscored the Wildcats 17-12 in the second half. Raiven Owusu added 16 points for the Highlanders.
