Prolific First Half Shooting Helps No. 15 Denison Secure 15th Straight Win

Granville, Ohio - The No. 15 ranked Denison Big Red women's basketball extended their winning streak to 15 games after defeating NCAC foe Oberlin 93-56 behind efficient first half shooting. Denison improves to 15-0 and 4-0 in the conference, while Oberlin falls to 5-10 and 1-3 in conference play.

First Quarter: The Big Red came out scorching, shooting 65% from the field while also shooting a blistering six-for-nine from behind the arc. Brooke Toigo hit two threes in the first alone, while Abby Cooch added six of her own to go up 32-16 at the end of the first. Denison also led in the rebounding category 8-3 with four coming on the offensive side.

Second Quarter: Denison stayed hot in the second quarter, shooting 61.11% (11-18) from the field and 55.6% from three (5-9).

Cooch also added eight assists at the half alone.

Third Quarter: The hot streak started to cool down, and the Yeowomen were able to hit some shots to start off the second half to cut the deficit to 27, but the Big Red would have answers of their own from Violet Mitchell and Molly Dorighi to extend the lead back past 30. Taute capped off the third quarter with 19 points, including a layup in the closing seconds to go up 78-44 heading into the fourth.

Fourth Quarter: The fourth quarter saw both teams trading baskets, as Denison led the quarter in scoring 15-12, knocking down two threes in the process. Toigo hit her fifth three of the night to rack up 18 points, and Denison stayed undefeated winning their 15th straight game, 93-56.
