Taylor Thierry's 23 points and Cotie McMahon's double-double powered No. 12 Ohio State to a 72-66 win over Nebraska. The Buckeyes withstood a late charge from the Cornhuskers to secure their victory in a hard-fought Big Ten matchup.
Taylor Thierry led the way with 23 points, while Cotie McMahon contributed 15 points and 10 rebounds as the No. 12 Ohio State women's basketball team secured a hard-fought 72-66 victory over Nebraska on Sunday. The Buckeyes' triumph was a testament to their resilience, as they weathered a late surge from the Cornhuskers. Thierry's driving layup with 7 1/2 minutes remaining in the fourth quarter gave Ohio State a 65-57 lead, but Nebraska refused to be deterred.
Logan Nissley's 3-pointer pulled the Cornhuskers within 65-60 with 3:45 left, and a three-point play by Alexis Markowski and a free throw from Callin Hake edged them closer at 65-64. Ohio State went through a scoring drought of 5 1/2 minutes before Thierry broke the slump with a crucial 3-pointer, extending their lead to 68-64 with two minutes remaining. Markowski answered with a jumper on the next possession, but Nebraska could not find the net again, missing three 3-pointers and failing to convert two free throws down the stretch. Madison Greene, who finished with 11 points, sealed the victory for the Buckeyes with four free throws in the final 23 seconds. The first half was a closely contested affair, with Nebraska holding a 38-36 lead at halftime. The Cornhuskers briefly took control in the second quarter, thanks to a 3-pointer by Jessica Petrie that put them ahead 24-22. However, Ohio State gradually regained the momentum, going on a five-point run led by McMahon to take a 52-50 lead midway through the third quarter. Nebraska momentarily regained the lead with a 3-pointer from Alberte Rimdal, but Thierry responded with a 3 of her own, and the Buckeyes held the advantage for the remainder of the game. Ohio State's victory improves their record to 19-1 overall and 8-1 in the Big Ten Conference. Meanwhile, Nebraska falls to 14-7 on the season and 4-5 in the conference.
