TIPP CITY — After a sluggish first half, the Tippecanoe girls basketball team pulled away from Fairborn Wednesday in Miami Valley League crossover play, clinching at least a share of the MVL Miami Division title in the process with a 57-28 victory.

With the win, Tippecanoe improved to 15-4 overall and 15-0 in the MVL Miami, holding a three-game lead over 12-3 Butler with three games remaining and giving the Red Devils a chance to clinch the division outright with a win at Troy Saturday. Fairborn, meanwhile, fell to 4-14 and 4-11 in the MVL Valley.

Wednesday, the Devils led the Skyhawks 11-6 after one but only held a 20-18 lead at halftime. Tippecanoe then outscored Fairborn 18-3 in the third quarter to take a 38-21 lead and put the game away.

Tippecanoe travels to Troy Saturday for an 11:45 a.m. tipoff.
