Ohio Wesleyan 57, Kenyon 41

Feb. 18, 2004

Junior wing Kelly Heil (Sylvania/Southview) scored 4 points and junior post Erica Brizendine (Grove City) and sophomore guard Amanda Nanney (Cincinnati/Mother of Mercy) added 3 each as the Bishops opened the second half with a 12-4 run and went on to defeat Kenyon in North Coast Athletic Conference action on Wednesday at Branch Rickey Arena.

Ohio Wesleyan held the Ladies to only one basket over the first 9-plus minutes of the second half, with Nanney starting off the Bishop run with a 3-pointer before Heil followed with a jumper from the lane. Brizendine converted a 3-point play on a fast break to increase the Bishop lead to 33-22 with 16:13 left in the game.

Kenyon got a free throw and a lay-in from Katy Zeanah as the Ladies closed to within 33-25, but freshman post Tifini Ray (Hilliard/Davidson) sank 2 free throws and Heil followed with a drive to give the Bishops a 37-28 lead with 11:33 to play.

Zeanah converted a 3-point play to end the Kenyon drought, but the Bishops came back with lay-in and a 3-point play by Brizendine to take a 42-28 lead with 9:04 to play.

After Kenyon rallied to within 47-37 on Dana Halicki's 3-pointer with 3:49 left, the Bishops iced the contest with fast break baskets by Brizendine and Nanney.

Kenyon had taken an early 12-3 lead, getting 3-pointers by Krissy Zatroch, Halicki and Megan Sheasby and a conventional 3-point play by Halicki in the first 6-plus minutes of the game.

The Ladies cooled off from long range, though, and Ohio Wesleyan chipped away at the deficit, eventually tying the game at 18-18 on a 3-pointer by sophomore guard Jamie Rea (Delaware/Hayes), then taking the lead for good at 22-21 on Brizendine's jumper from the lane. Heil put an exclamation point on the first half for Ohio Wesleyan, closing out the scoring with a 3-pointer in the final minute.

Brizendine led the Bishops with 19 points and 11 rebounds, while Heil finished with 13 points and led the Bishops with 4 assists.

Zaneah led the Ladies with 12 points and 2 assists. Halicki finished with 10 points. Allison Lebar grabbed a team-high 10 rebounds.
