Ohio Wesleyan 63, Denison 61

Freshman post Macy Miller (Marysville/Fairbanks) sank a lay-in with :16 to play to cap a game-ending 5-0 run and give Ohio Wesleyan a North Coast Athletic Conference win over Denison on Wednesday in Granville.

Denison had broken a 58-58 tie when Morgan Kress converted a 3-point play with 2:40 left in regulation time.

With less than a minute to play, Miller missed a jumper but grabbed the offensive rebound and dished to senior point guard Elizabeth Homan (Cincinnati/Anderson), who buried a game-tying 3-pointer with :49 to go.

Senior guard Kasey Schipfer (Mechanicsburg) then stole the ball from Abby Cooch, and Miller scored a fast-break lay-in to give the Bishops the lead.

The Big Red had a chance to send the game into overtime, but Ada Taute's jumper at the buzzer was off the mark.

Ohio Wesleyan scored the final 7 points of the first quarter, breaking a 10-10 tie with a 3-pointer by sophomore guard Mia Guscoff (Canton/Massillon Perry) and a pair of hoops from Miller.  The Bishops stretched the lead to as many as 15 points during the second period when a pair of Schipfer free throws gave Ohio Wesleyan a 32-17 lead midway through the quarter, but Taute hit a 3-pointer and Cooch connected twice from downtown as the Big Red pulled to within 38-32 at the intermission.  Denison held Ohio Wesleyan to 7 points during the third quarter, taking the lead on Abigail Westmeyer's lay-in during the final minute of the period, and each team would lead during the fourth quarter, setting up the final minutes.

Schipfer led the Bishops with 21 points and shared the team lead with 5 rebounds.  Junior post Alyssa Griner (Delaware/Hayes) added 15 points and senior guard Lauren Denison (Pataskala/Watkins Memorial) scored 11 points.  Homan had a game-high 8 assists and Miller and junior post Karlee Ross (Beverly/Fort Frye) also shared the team lead with 5 rebounds apiece.
