Box Score
Oberlin 66, Ohio Wesleyan 41

Senior guard Kayla Richard (Minster) and junior guard Erin Delaney (Toledo/Notre Dame Academy) each had a pair of baskets during an 8-0 run that gave Ohio Wesleyan the lead, but Oberlin countered with a run of its own and went on to a North Coast Athletic Conference win over the Bishops on Saturday at Branch Rickey Arena.

The Yeowomen had opened the game with baskets from Abby Andrews, Ally Driscoll, and Alex Stipano to take a 6-0 lead.

Ohio Wesleyan stormed back with a pair of buckets less than 30 seconds apart.  Richard stole the ball in the backcourt and went in for a lay-in that put the Bishops on the scoreboard, and on Oberlin's ensuing possession, sophomore guard Claire Sterling (West Jefferson) came up with a steal and fed Delaney for a basket.

That pattern repeated itself just over a minute later, with Richard stealing the ball and going in for a lay-in to even the score at 6 before Delaney stole the ball and scored just 14 seconds after that to give Ohio Wesleyan an 8-6 lead.

Oberlin closed out the first quarter with a 7-0 run, with Andrews and Jasmine Sorrells hitting jumpers from the lane and Cheyenne Arthur adding a 3-pointer, and the visitors added an 8-0 run early in the second quarter, getting 3-pointers from Stipano and Driscoll on the way to a 21-11 lead.

Sterling sank a pair of free throws to bring the Bishops within 23-17 late in the second quarter, but Oberlin went on an 8-0 run early in the third quarter to extend the lead to 36-19, and the margin would remain in double digits for the remainder of the contest.

Sophomore guard Nicole Popovich (Rocky River) led the Bishops with 11 points.  Sterling recorded team bests of 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

Stipano had a game-high 18 points for Oberlin.
