WESTERVILLE, Ohio – The Otterbein women's basketball team got itself back in the win column Saturday to cap a doubleheader in the Rike, limiting Heidelberg early and cruising down the stretch for a 57-45 final margin.

The Cardinals (playing without two starters in Katie McCrary and Claire Radabaugh) held the visitors to just 25 points over three quarters in pushing the lead to as many as 18 on multiple occasions. As a result, Otterbein has now won nine-straight matchups in the series. Notable tidbits below!

• Otterbein went into halftime with a 30-17 lead after the 'Berg shot just 5 of 26 in the first half.
   
• Jenna Hoschouer finished with a game-high 20 points to accompany six rebounds. She was 8 of 16 from the field.
   
• Four other Cardinals scored between 7-8, including eight points and seven boards for Kathleen DeCarlo.
   
• Ella Nagel secured a season-high nine rebounds off the bench.
   
• Both teams shot 2 of 14 behind their respective three-point lines.

 
Otterbein will head to John Carroll this coming Wednesday night before hosting Mount Union as part of another doubleheader slate next weekend.
