COLUMBUS, Ohio – Junior Katie Davidson led the Jaguar offense with 23 points, as the IUPUI women's basketball team fell on the road to No. 7 Ohio State, 108-58. Turnovers proved costly for the Jags as they committed 28 turnovers that the Buckeyes converted to 43 points.
 
Six Buckeyes recorded double-digit points with Cotie McMahon leading Ohio State (1-1) with 22.
 
The Jaguars' three-point shooting was the only highlighting factor for IUPUI (1-1) as they shot 36.8 percent from behind the arc compared to Ohio State's 31.3 percent. The Buckeyes offset that margin by getting up 67 shots from the field compared to IUPUI's 54. Ohio State also added a 31-for-36 mark from the free throw line compared to the Jags' 11-for-18.
 
Despite falling behind 11 points early in the first quarter, the Jags came within five points at 17-12 for the closest margin of the game. Jazmyn Turner led the charge in the first quarter with seven points before exiting the game due to injury at the 1:30 mark. Turner would not return for the remainder of the game.
 
With one of the Jags' top starters out of the game, Davidson stepped up once again to lead the offense. She scored 11 of IUPUI's 15 points in the second quarter, then continued that in the third quarter with seven of the Jags' 14 points.
 
Down 84-45, heading into the fourth quarter, the Jaguars made 4-of-11 threes for their highest mark of the game. Ohio State closed out the game with a 50-point lead at 108-58.
