Denison built its lead to 19 by the end of the third quarter and led by as many as 25 early in the fourth. 

Zyah Beal followed with 11 points and seven rebounds and Lily Morris dropped nine points off the bench on 3-of-4 shooting from 3-point range.  Also finishing with nine points and dive rebounds in 15 minutes of action was Lauren Longbrake.  She was 4-of-7 from the field.

Oberlin was led in scoring by Cheyenne Arthur who finished with 11 points.

Denison is 9-3 in conference play and will travel to the College of Wooster on Wednesday (Feb. 12) for a 6 p.m. tip-off against the Fighting Scots.
