Ohio Wesleyan 61, Allegheny 53

Sophomore guard Kasey Schipfer (Mechanicsburg) scored 11 of her career-high 27 points during the fourth quarter as Ohio Wesleyan rallied for a North Coast Athletic Conference win over Allegheny on Saturday in Meadville, Pa.

The Bishops trailed, 46-39, late in the third quarter, but buckets by freshman post Alyssa Griner (Delaware/Hayes) and sophomore point guard Elizabeth Homan (Cincinnati/Anderson) narrowed the deficit to 46-43, and Schipfer opened the fourth quarter with a lay-in and a free throw to even the game at 46.

Schipfer later scored to tie the game at 50 and kick off an 11-0 that would propel the Bishops to the win.  Senior post Cierra Joiner (Centerburg) followed with a lay-in, and Schipfer added a lay-in and a pair of free throws before Homan sank a pair of free throws for a 59-50 Bishop lead with :36 remaining.

Allegheny's Emily Lauer sank a 3-pointer with :16 left, ending the Gators' scoring drought of more than 7 minutes, but Schipfer answered with a pair of free throws with :15 left to seal the outcome.

Schipfer had opened the day's scoring with a lay-in, and knocked down a jumper for a 9-5 Bishop lead when the Gators responded with an 11-2 run that included 6 points from Alexis Caldwell.

A Schipfer lay-in gave Ohio Wesleyan a 19-18 advantage early in the second quarter, but Allegheny retook the lead on a Chloe Rabold 3-pointer and would lead by as many as 9 points, that on another Rabold trifecta late in the half.  The Gators would hold the lead through the entire third quarter, with Ohio Wesleyan inching back late in the period before taking the lead for good in the fourth.

Schipfer led the Bishops with 27 points.  Joiner scored 16 points and posted team bests of 10 rebounds and 4 assists.

Lauer had 18 points for Allegheny.
