Meanwhile, the Bishop defense kept Kenyon scoreless for nearly 6 minutes to end the half.
Schipfer led the Bishops with 15 points, while Griner finished with 14, Miller added 12, and Denison scored 10. Ross had a team-high 8 rebounds and senior point guard Elizabeth Homan (Cincinnati/Anderson) collected 6 assists.
