DEPAUW WOMEN LOSE LEAD AND HEARTBREAKER TO WHEATON, 64-61
Greencastle, Ind.--The DePauw women's basketball
team looked to make it five straight wins on the young
season, but two come-from-behind efforts by visiting
Wheaton College left the Tigers with a 64-61 overtime
loss. With the win, Wheaton remains unbeaten at 5-0,
while DePauw falls to 4-2.
The game was tied five times and the lead changed
hands twice before the Tigers took the lead, 16-15, at
the 11:07 mark. The Old Gold built as much as a nine-
point advantage and led at halftime, 34-27.
DePauw extended the advantage to as many as 11
points early in the half before Wheaton began its first
comeback. The Crusaders cut the lead to 47-44 with 10:13
left before the Tigers built it back to seven with six
minutes remaining.
DePauw still held a 57-53 lead after Lana
Harrison's jumper with 1:01 remaining. Wheaton's Kerry
Cole cut the lead to two with a bucket at the 41-second
mark. Following a steal, the Crusaders' Stephanie Clark
buried a jumper with 15 seconds left to tie the score at
57.
In the overtime session, DePauw's Susan Bender hit
a jumper and two free throws to put the Tigers ahead 61-
57 with 3:09 remaining, but Wheaton scored the game's
final seven points. The Tigers connected on just one of
six field goals in the overtime and committed five
turnovers.
Susan Bender and Lana Harrison each scored 15 for
DePauw, while Alenka Hren added 10. Brenda Simmons
grabbed a game-high 11 rebounds. Nicole Merchant scored
24 for Wheaton followed by Stephanie Clark with 14 and
Kerry Cole with 11.
