In a game against Mille Lacs on Tuesday night, Jan. 20, Crosby-Ironton senior guard Tori Oehrlein broke the state’s girls basketball career points record, set by Braham’s Rebekah Dahlman in 2013.

Oehrlein, a Gophers commit, tied and then broke the existing record — 5,060 points — with a pair of back-to-back driving layups, putting her game total at 34 points with just under five minutes to play in the first half.

After Oehrlein’s record-breaking basket, Crosby-Ironton, the host team, paused the game, letting Oehrlein’s teammates swarm her for hugs. Rangers coach Pete Vukelich prepared a brief narrated slideshow that played on the gym’s scoreboard screen, recounting Oehrlein’s career milestones and thanking her for her impact on Crosby-Ironton girls basketball. “You’re one of one,” Vukelich’s narration said.

Dahlman was in attendance to present Oehrlein with a plaque and flowers. Oehrlein briefly addressed the Rangers home crowd, thanking her teammates, coaches and parents for their support.

At halftime, Crosby-Ironton led Mille Lacs 71-20. The Rangers won 124-37. Oehrlein finished with 57 points, giving her 5,085 career points.

Oehrlein already holds the state’s all-time rebounding record, set as a junior.

She became just the second girls basketball player, alongside Dahlman, to hit 5,000 career points with a 50-point performance in a win over Ogilvie on Friday, Jan. 16.

Providence Academy senior point guard Maddyn Greenway, with 4,908 career points, will likely join the pair in the exclusive club in the coming weeks.
