Jan. 19, 2005

Senior post Erica Brizendine (Grove City) scored 5 points and sophomore guard Emily Lloyd (Canton/Massillon Jackson) converted a 4-point play to highlight a 12-0 run that erased an early Earlham lead, and junior guard Amanda Nanney (Cincinnati/Mother of Mercy) and senior wing Kelly Heil (Sylvania/Southview) sparked a 17-0 run that put Ohio Wesleyan ahead to stay in a North Coast Athletic Conference win over the Quakers on Wednesday in Richmond, Ind.

The Quakers had used a balanced offense, getting 2 points from 5 different players, to take an early 10-2 lead. Earlham stretched its lead to 16-7 on a 4-point play by Lauren Herrmann with 11:21 left in the first half and still held a 23-16 lead after Guin Summerton hit a 3-pointer with 4:05 to play in the period.

Brizendine started the Bishop run with a basket, then Lloyd hit a 3-pointer and converted the free throw to bring Ohio Wesleyan within 23-22 with 3:17 left. Brizendine tied the game with a free throw with 2:56 to go, then put the Bishops ahead with a basket on Ohio Wesleyan's next possession. Senior wing Kelly Heil (Sylvania/Southview) added a 3-pointer to give Ohio Wesleyan a 28-23 lead with 1:54 left in the half.

Earlham rallied to take a 35-34 lead on Lisa Vanderkolk's basket with 15:43 left in the game, but the Bishops answered with 17 straight points to break the game open. Brizendine scored to return the lead to Ohio Wesleyan, then Nanney drilled a 3-pointer and sophomore guard Rachel Messaros (Granville/Columbus Bishop Hartley) added a free throw to make it a 40-35 game.

Lloyd, Nanney and Heil followed with layups before another Messaros free throw, then sophomore post Tifini Ray (Hillard/Davidson) added a lay-in and Heil capped the run with a pair of free throws with 10:40 to go.
