Olmsted Falls, OH: The Olmsted Falls Lady Bulldogs delivered a commanding performance against the Elyria Lady Pioneers, securing a 90-9 win in a game marked by relentless offense and airtight defense. The Bulldogs set the tone from the opening tip, leaving little room for Elyria to find any momentum. 

First Quarter 

Olmsted Falls wasted no time establishing control. After winning the tip, the Bulldogs moved the ball efficiently, finding Avery DeLisio for the game’s first three-pointer. Elyria struggled to respond as Olmsted Falls’ defense smothered their attempts to push the pace. Jesse Simon added a transition three, and after a quick steal on the inbound, DeLisio hit another three from the top of the key. 

Emma Schaefer contributed on both ends, scoring on a put-back rebound and sinking another three a few possessions later. Despite a hard foul from Elyria’s Danielle Witten, Schaefer added a free throw as the Bulldogs extended their run to 17-0. Elyria finally broke their drought with two free throws from KaMarianna Scott, but Olmsted Falls quickly answered with a layup by Maddie Cerovac. 

Scott added another layup in transition for the Lady Pioneers, but Simon and Lily Krall responded with back-to-back put-back baskets. DeLisio connected on a wide-open three, and Schaefer closed out the quarter with a transition layup, giving Olmsted Falls a commanding 30-4 lead. 

Second Quarter 

The Bulldogs continued their dominance in the second quarter, with Schaefer opening the scoring on a scoop-and-score layup. Witten picked up her third foul early in the quarter, putting more of a dent in Elyria’s efforts. Olmsted Falls kept up the pressure as Addison Mullen converted a rebound into a layup, and Cerovac dished a perfect assist to Grace Largent for another easy two. 

After several offensive rebounds, DeLisio scored on a layup and later assisted Carli Nagy for a three-pointer from the top of the key. Elyria’s Scott briefly slowed the onslaught with a three-pointer from the wing, but Simon answered immediately with a three of her own. Elyria’s Brooklyn Cruz-Barnett missed two free throws, and DeLisio punished them with another three-pointer to push the Bulldogs’ lead to 58-7 at halftime. 

Third Quarter 

Simon opened the third quarter with a layup, followed by a three from Largent. Cerovac added to the lead with a transition layup, and Schaefer completed an and-one opportunity. Elyria found a rare highlight when Cruz-Barnett stole the ball and scored in transition, but the Bulldogs quickly countered with a three from Riley Bragg. Ella Meczka added a steal and a layup to end the quarter, with Olmsted Falls leading 77-9. 

Fourth Quarter 

With more of the same result, Cerovac started the final quarter with a smooth layup, and Nagy hit back-to-back three-pointers to cap off her strong night. Meczka sealed the game by sinking one of two free throws as Olmsted Falls cruised to a 90-9 victory.
