BLOOMINGTON, Ind. -- The Indiana's women's basketball team fell to Ohio State on Thursday evening, 103-49. The Hoosiers (11-4, 1-3 Big Ten) were led in scoring with 14 points from freshman Jess Walter, while freshman Amanda Cahill added 13.
The Buckeyes (11-5, 3-1 Big Ten) opened the game on a 17-2 run and shot 65.6 percent (21-of-32) from the field in the first half, including 60 percent (6-of-10) from the 3-point line.
Sparked by 15-first half points from Kelsey Mitchell and 14 points from Ameryst Alston, Ohio State took a 49-17 lead into the break. Mitchell finished the game just one board short of a double-double at 25 points and nine rebounds, while Alston scored 27 points.
Walter knocked in all of her 14 points in the second half as she shot 4-of-7 from downtown in the period.
Despite an 8-0 run sparked by a layup and free throw from Cahill, the Hoosiers could not overcome the hot shooting of the Buckeyes as Ohio State shot 62.5 percent (10-of-16) from beyond the arc and hit 63.1 percent (41-of-65) from the field in the game.
The Hoosiers return to Assembly Hall on Sunday as they host the Wisconsin Badgers at 2 p.m. ET.
