Buckeyes bounce Boilermakers, take possession of second place in the Big Ten

After a heartbreaking 66-65 loss last Thursday to Illinois, Ohio State bounced back with a huge 81-70 victory over the Purdue Boilermakers Sunday night at Value City Arena. The Scarlet and Gray used a balanced scoring attack as four Buckeyes reached double digits in scoring (Amber Stokes-14 pts, Tayler Hill-12 pts, Ashley Adams-13 pts, and Samantha Prahalis-26 pts). Brittany Raburn was the leading scorer for the black and gold, scoring 22 poitns for Purdue (19-6, 9-3). With the win, the Lady Buckeyes move into second place in the Big Ten (9-3), trailing only Penn State (10-3) in the conference standings. The Buckeyes will ready themselves for another opponent from the Hoosier state as they welcome the Indiana Hoosiers into VCA this Thursday night. Tip-off is scheduled for 7:00 pm.
