by Ken Hoffman

Two student-athletes from the Lorain County Community College women’s basketball team were selected to the women’s basketball All-Ohio Community College Athletic Conference Teams by the coaches of the OCCAC.
 
Sophomore forward Angel Blakely (pictured) and freshman guard Hannah Oehlstrom (pictured below) received Honorable Mention recognition from the OCCAC.  Blakely and Oehlstrom were also selected to the All-District/Region XII, D-III Team.
 
 
In addition, Blakely was tabbed as District/Region XII, D-III Player of the Year Runner-Up (Columbus State’s Destiny Wooten was named POTY).
 
Blakely led the Lady Commodores in scoring (18.7 ppg), field goal percentage (43.1%), rebounding (8.5 rpg), assists (2.7 apg) and steals (2.4 spg).  She scored a career-high 32 points vs. Sinclair CC on Feb. 17, and ended her two years as LCCC’s single-season scoring leader (506 pts.) and career scoring leader (848 pts.).  She became the first Lady Commodore to eclipse the 500-point mark in a season and the 800-point mark in a two-year career.
 
Oehlstrom was second in scoring for the Lady Commodores with 14.6 ppg in her rookie season, along with 6.7 rebounds per game, 2.0 assists per game and 2.1 steals per game.  She shot a team-best 70% from the foul line.  Oehlstrom ended the season as the single-season record holder for Made Three-Point Shots with 80.
 
LCCC ended the season with a record of 6-22, doubling the win total from the previous season, and narrowly missing in the upset bid of Columbus State in the Region XII, D-III title game, 94-88.
 

Upset Bid By Lady Commodores Falls Short Despite “Best Game of the Season”

The Lady Commodores played their “best game of the season” according to Head Coach Vince Granito, but the upset bid was overcome by Columbus State, 94-88, in the NJCAA Region XII championship game at Ohio Christian University on Tuesday evening, Feb. 27.
 
LCCC employed a successful box-and-one defense against Columbus State standout Destiny Wooten, and at one point led by nine points in the first quarter before settling for a two-point deficit at halftime, 49-47.  
 
Sophomore guard Angel Blakely (pictured) scored a team-high 28 points and completed a double-double with 10 rebounds plus six assists and two steals. Sophomore guard Carrie Carlson collected 22 points — 13 in the first half — and added five caroms.  Freshman guard Hannah Oehlstrom made 4-of-8 long-range shots in the opening half to score 16 of her 18 points on 7-of-13 shooting, to go along with six boards, three assists and a game-high four steals.  Sophomore forward Jasmine White added 11 points and seven rebounds, two assists and two steals.
 
Wooten finished with 14 points and nine rebounds for Columbus State.  Allie Rutter picked up the slack and led CSCC with 15 points in the third quarter on her way to a game-high 39 points, making 13-of-22 shots, including an astounding 9-of-14 (64.3%) from beyond the arc.  Shay Rahim turned in a double-double with 19 points and a game-high 18 rebounds.
 
The Lady Commodores pulled to within two points at 68-66 late in the third quarter on a Blakely drive to the basket topping off an 8-0 LCCC run, but Rutter connected on a big three-point shot with just seconds remaining in the third quarter to bump the Columbus State lead to 71-66 after three stanzas.
 
Blakely again drove for a lay-up with 3:56 remaining in the game to pull LCCC to within three points at 87-84, but Rahim scored on two inside passes and Rutter added two foul shots down the stretch.
 
“”That was the best game we played all season, and for the second year in a row, I am happy with how we finished,” coach Granito stated. “We have to rebuild now (losing six of eight players) and Hannah (Oehlstrom) is a good one to build around,” Granito added.
 
The Lady Cougars had twice defeated LCCC earlier in the season by 21 and 25 points, 76-55 and 80-55. 
 
LCCC ends the season with a 6-22 record.  Blakely concludes her LCCC career as the school’s career scoring leader (847) and Oehlstrom (pictured below) finishes her freshman campaign as the school’s single-season leader in Made Three-Point Field Goals (80).

Blakely was joined in double figures by sophomore guard Carrie Carlson with 15 points and freshman guard Hannah Oehlstrom with 12 points, four boards and three steals.  Oehlstrom connected on two three-point baskets, making her LCCC’s single-season record-holder for made three-point shots (76).
 
Sophomore forward Jasmine White played a solid game with 10 rebounds, six points, five assists and a steal.  Sophomore forward Sara Kyser added six points and four rebounds.  Freshman forward Makayla Tuck also scored six points.  Sophomore forward Gloria Souter chipped in with two points and sophomore forward Sami Shaw contributed three assists.
 
LCCC solidified the win by outscoring Hocking, 24-9, in the 3rd quarter after leading at halftime, 26-13.  Carlson scored 11 of her 15 points in that deciding period.  
 
“We wanted to use this game as a springboard for Tuesday night’s Region 12 playoff game, and I believe we accomplished that,” Head Coach Vince Granito commented. 
 
The Hawks ended a winless season with a record of 0-23 overall and 0-14 in the OCCAC. The Lady Commodores doubled last year’s win total with a 6-21 regular season mark and 2-12 in the OCCAC.  This season marks the first OCCAC victories since 2009-10 when LCCC also turned in a 2-12 conference record.
 
(NOTE: The team did not play in a league for four seasons (2010-11 through 2013-14. LCCC joined the league again in 2014-15.  For the three years from ’14-’15 through ’16-’17, the Lady Commodores had not been victorious in conference games (0-44).
