Top-ranked women stomp Oberlin

The top-ranked DePauw women's basketball team donned its pink uniforms in recognition of breast cancer awareness and welcomed North Coast Athletic Conference foe Oberlin into Neal Fieldhouse on Saturday afternoon, defeating the Yeo 71-46, in front of one of the largest crowds of the season.

The Tigers were once again balanced along the offensive front, having 11 players register a point and 13 players hauling in at least one rebound.

With the victory DePauw moves to 23-0 on the season and 14-0 in NCAC play. The Yeowomen see their record fall to 8-16 overall and a conference record of 3-12. This is the fourth-straight season in which the Old Gold have notched at least 23 victories and ninth time in the last 10 campaigns.

The Tigers trailed just once, at 3-2, and only held a 19-14 edge midway through the first half. DePauw went on a 20-4 run to stretch the lead to 21 on the way to a 41-24 halftime advantage.

The victory marked the Tigers 48th consecutive regular season victory, its 78th straight home conference win and 38th straight conference triumph.

DePauw returns to action this Wednesday, Feb. 13, at 6 p.m. when it travels to Springfield, Ohio, to face Wittenberg.
