Fifth-year guard Kasey Schipfer scored a game-high 27 points, surpassed a career milestone, and broke a school record as 14th/15th-ranked Ohio Wesleyan defeated Wittenberg, 69-56, in a North Coast Athletic Conference contest on Saturday in Springfield.

Schipfer scored 8 points during the first quarter as the teams were tied at 14 during the final minute of the period, but Wittenberg's Taryn Cash sank a 3-pointer to give the Tigers a 17-14 lead.  Wittenberg would lead throughout the second quarter, which ended with the Bishops trailing, 34-30.

Sophomore post Macy Miller opened the third quarter with back-to-back buckets to even the score at 34, but Riane Burton answered with a jumper for Wittenberg.

Ohio Wesleyan then went on a 14-0 run, with fifth-year guard Lauren Denison knocking down a 3-pointer to put the Bishops ahead to stay, Miller contributing a pair of hoops, and fifth-year point guard Elizabeth Homan adding a lay-in and a 3-pointer.

Schipfer took over from there, scoring 13 points during the fourth period alone as the Bishops closed out the win.

Schipfer led the Bishops with 27 points, raising her career total to 2012 and making Schipfer the second Ohio Wesleyan player to surpass the 2000-point mark.  Schipfer was 3-for-5 from the free throw line on the day, with the 5 attempts raising her career total to 597, breaking the school record of 592 set by Jill Myers from 1984-88.

Homan finished with 14 points and led the Bishops with 6 assists, and Miller scored 12 points.  Senior post Karlee Ross had a team-best 9 rebounds.
