No. 6 Ohio State Buckeyes over No. 11 Missouri State Lady Bears, 63-56

Ohio State received a scare from Missouri State, but Jacy Sheldon finished with 25 points, six rebounds, five assists and five steals to lead the higher-seeded Buckeyes to victory.

Missouri State’s largest lead of the second half was four. Ohio State was able to keep it close until it took the lead late. The Buckeyes went on a 5-0 run capped by a difficult Sheldon layup in transition to take a one-point lead. They needed a left corner three from Taylor Mikesell to give them the lead again 44 seconds later. At that point there was 3:10 remaining.

The Lady Bears were within two with 41 seconds to go, but another Sheldon layup, this time with 29 seconds remaining, pushed the Ohio State lead to four. Free throws did the rest for the Buckeyes.

A flurry of steals allowed Ohio State to take the lead late in the second quarter. The first swipe of the stretch led to a Taylor Thierry layup and was followed by a backcourt steal and Sheldon layup that gave the Buckeyes a 25-24 lead. After the Lady Bears briefly retook the lead, Sheldon made a difficult layup to make it 27-26 Ohio State. She followed with a backcourt steal turned layup and Mikesell made it a five-point lead at the break when she took a mid-court turnover and turned it into a wide-open layup.

Sheldon and Braxtin Miller had four steals apiece in the first half and Sheldon led Ohio State with 11 points and three assists at the break.

Ifunanya Nwachukwu registered nine points and 17 rebounds in defeat.
