LIMA, OH - After dropping five straight, UNOH women's basketball got back in the win column with a 101-66 win over Kalamazoo.

The Hornets managed to cut the lead to four in the first quarter, but that was as close as they would get throughout the game. UNOH expanded their seven-point first quarter lead to 13 at halftime and took less than five minutes in the third to mount a 21-5 run to balloon the lead to 29. A 31-point quarter put the Racers up 79-51 heading into the final frame.
