All the Oxford girls won at least one point and Sr Co-Captain Kiley Penzien beat both of her challengers with games of 199 and 158. Kaitlyn Mcfadden 183, Elleanna Ford 177, and Kaya Coffman 188 also bowled well for the lady keglers. The girls’ record is now 6 and 3 on the season and 3 and 2 in the OAA red division.
