It was a back and forth contest at Value City Arena, but in the end, the Ohio State Buckeyes fell to the Morehead State Eagles, 71-61, in first round action of the Women’s NIT. It’s a tough loss for the Buckeyes, as their season will now come to an end.
Aliyah Jeune led the Eagles in both scoring and rebounding. Her 20-point effort (with a 6-of-11 mark from three-point range) and nine rebounds were a big reason for the second half rally against the Buckeyes. Darianne Seward had the second-most points for the visitors, pouring in 17 points.
