Ohio/NIU Game Rescheduled
The Mid-American Conference and Northern Illinois University announced Thursday that the women's basketball game between Ohio and NIU has been rescheduled for Monday, March 3 at 7 p.m. CT in Dekalb.

The game was originally scheduled for Feb. 16, but was postponed due to the tragic events at Northern Illinois on Feb. 14 and the subsequent suspension of all athletics competition for the Huskies from that date thru Feb 24.

Last Time vs. Buffalo (Jan. 18, 2008)
Ohio used a historic shooting night and solid team defense to notch its first MAC victory of the season, defeating Buffalo 74-64, at Alumni Arena. Ohio shot 72 percent from behind the arc and made 13 3-pointers on the night, one shy of the school record, to get out to a large first half lead and cruise to victory.

Sophomore guard Jennifer Bushby came off the bench to lead the Ohio attack with a career-high 23 points on a career-high 6-of-8 shooting from behind the arc. Senior guard Lauren Kohn and junior forward Lauren Hmiel joined Bushby in double figures, scoring 14 points and 12 points, respectively. Hmiel also had a game-high eight rebounds.
