COLUMBUS, Ohio - The Ball State women's basketball team (6-4) suffered a 80-48 setback at No. 11 Ohio State (9-0) Tuesday night at Value City Arena.
The undefeated Ohio State Buckeyes opened the first five minutes of play on a 16-4 scoring spree. Ohio State's full court press defense kept giving the Cardinals fits throughout the first stanza which eventually led to the Buckeyes 24-8 advantage after the first quarter of play.
Ball State opened the second frame with back-to-back baskets from Elise Stuck and Grace Kingery to put BSU in double digits (28-13), but Ohio State continued to play stingy defense eventually leading to the Buckeyes 18-point (38-20) halftime advantage over the Cardinals.
