Ohio Wesleyan 66, Earlham 49

Feb. 14, 2004

Junior guard Celina Dopoulos (Strongsville) hit a 3-pointer to kick off an 8-0 run that helped Ohio Wesleyan break open a North Coast Athletic Conference win over Earlham on Saturday at Richmond, Ind.

With the Bishops holding a 41-38 lead with 7:12 left in regulation time, Dopoulos knocked down a 3-pointer, then junior wing Kelly Heil (Sylvania/Southview) hit a jumper, junior post Erica Brizendine (Grove City) contributed a free throw and junior post Shelby Larson (Arlington Heights, Ill./Rolling Meadows) hit 2 free throws to extend the Bishop lead to 49-38 with 5:08 remaining.

Earlham answered with a 3-pointer by Kim Patton, but Ohio Wesleyan got a free throw from Heil and a basket from Brizendine to hike the lead back to 53-41 with 3:12 to play, and the Quakers did not come closer than 10 points during the remainder of the game.

Ohio Wesleyan had taken the lead for good when Brizendine scored to break an 8-8 tie, and after the Quakers had come back to within 14-12 on Summer Cress' jumper, the Bishops put together a 10-0 run that included lay-ins by Larson, Heil and sophomore guard Jenny Johnson (Delaware/Hayes), a jumper by Brizendine and a pair of free throws by freshman post Tifini Ray (Hilliard/Davidson), stretching the lead to 24-12 with 6:13 left in the first half.

Earlham closed to within 28-20 on Patton's jumper just before the halftime buzzer, then got the first 2 baskets of the second half, coming within 28-24 on baskets by Cress and Lindsey Chappell.

Heil led the Bishops with 17 points and 9 rebounds. Brizendine added 16 points and 8 rebounds and senior guard Krystal Sensabaugh (Wapakoneta) led Ohio Wesleyan with 3 assists.

Cress led the Quakers with 18 points and Patton added 15 points. Chappell led the Quakers with 14 rebounds and Michelle Behler had a team-high 4 assists.
