Ohio Wesleyan 72, Hiram 43

Jan. 18, 2006

Junior guard Emily Lloyd (Canton/Massillon Jackson) hit a pair of 3-pointers as Ohio Wesleyan opened the game with a 9-0 run and never looked back on its way to a North Coast Athletic Conference win over Hiram on Wednesday at Branch Rickey Arena.

Lloyd drilled a 3-pointer on the first possession of the game, sophomore guard Kathleen Cooper (Columbus/Upper Arlington) followed with another long bomb and another Lloyd 3-pointer made it 9-0 in favor of the Bishops with 16:46 left in the first half.

Hiram got on the scoreboard on a lay-in by Tania Carman, and another Carman lay-in and a 3-pointer by Brandie Turner pulled the Terriers within 13-7 with 11:13 left in the period.

Ohio Wesleyan then went on a 12-2 run, getting 3-pointers from Lloyd and sophomore guard Steffi Graf (Poland/Seminary) and then a 3-point play by Graf before another 3-pointer by Lloyd gave the Bishops a 25-9 lead, and the margin would remain in double figures throughout the remainder of the contest.

Lloyd finished with a career-high 18 points, all coming from behind the arc. Junior guard Rachel Messaros (Reynoldsburg/Bishop Hartley) added 14 points, sophomore guard Molly Baker (Avon Lake) poured in a career-high 13 points and Graf finished with 11 points. Sophomore guard Lindsey Macklin (Columbus/Bexley) and senior guard Amanda Nanney (Cincinnati/Mother of Mercy) shared the team lead with 8 rebounds apiece, with Nanney's total matching her career best. Cooper led the Bishops with 6 assists.

Ohio Wesleyan was 13-for-38 from 3-point range in the game. The 38 attempts not only set a Branch Rickey Arena record, but raised the Bishops' season total to 572, breaking the NCAC record of 547 set by Kenyon during the 1998-99 season.

Carman led the Terriers with 11 points. Abbey Gorby grabbed a team-high 8 rebounds and dished out a team-high 3 assists.
