Students make calls for Kasich JOELY FRIEDMAN Lantern reporter friedman.312@osu.edu Some Ohio State students are showing support for fellow Buckeye, Ohio Gov. John Kasich, by signing on to call registered Republicans in New Hampshire on behalf of the OSU alumnus.

Kasich graduated from OSU in 1974 with a degree in political science, before becoming the youngest person ever elected to the Ohio Senate at age 26. He then went on to become the governor of Ohio in 2010.

The students volunteering Wednesday night asked those they talked to on the phone what issues were most important to them in the upcoming presidential election and if they were considering voting for Kasich.

New Day for America, a super PAC supporting Kasich, provided the students with the phone numbers of Republicans in New Hampshire, which is home to the nation’s first primary, following the Iowa Caucuses.

Nationally, the GOP field is led by Ben Carson, who holds 26 percent of Republican Primary voters, according to a CBS and New York Times poll published Tuesday. Kasich, who is polling at 4 percent, trails Carson as well as six other candidates. In a poll of New Hampshire Republicans, Kasich fared better, polling in fourth place with 11 percent, according to a Monmouth University poll, published Monday.

Morgan Shafley, a tribune for OSU College Republicans and a third-year in animal sciences, said she is a proud supporter of Kasich and would love to see him become the next U.S. president. She said

Ohio State’s Center for High Performance Power Electronics has joined a White House initiative that aims to develop new technologies to double U.S. energy productivity by 2030.

The national initiative, named the “Next Generation Electric Machines,” is supported by the Department of Energy and provides $22 million in funding for five research teams developing energy-reduction technologies. The project OSU proposed will design and test a new drive system aiming to improve the energy efficiency in a range of industries, according to the DOE website.

“The industrial sector consumes over 30 percent of all the energy consumed in the U.S.,” said Longya Xu, an electrical and computer engineering professor directing the project. “If that is the case, just 1 or 2 percent of the efficiency improvement (in the industry sector) means a huge amount of energy saved.”

Once the drive system is running successfully, it can be integrated into electric grids and be applied to a variety of electric motors, like engines of mining machines, airplanes and hybrid electric vehicles, with fewer energy losses and a greater reliability.

The DOE program funding OSU’s drive system project, which OSU joined in September, is part of an umbrella initiative announced

OSU looks into optometry research at COSI JAY PANANDIKER Engagement Editor panadiker.1@osu.edu As guests walk through the Life exhibition at COSI, they have the opportunity to test their strength and examine how organs work. At the end of the exhibit stand three glass rooms, which are called the Labs in Life. The space is used by Ohio State as labs to conduct research in optometry, pharmacology and linguistics.

The optometry lab, called the EyePod, is run by Melissa Bailey, a professor in the College of Optometry. When visitors come to

“It’s not a person sitting behind a glass cleaning dinosaur bones ... this is the real deal — it’s real research.”

Josh Sarver Senior director of experience design and production, COSI

COSI, they can visit the lab and contribute to the research. Bailey said researchers take photos of the visitors’ eye muscles, which provide data for research.

Having a research lab in a museum is something that is unique to COSI, said Josh Sarver, senior director of experience design and production for the museum. He added that other museums have seen the labs and are now trying to replicate them. He said it was a great step forward for both the museum and the university.

“It’s not a person sitting behind a glass cleaning dinosaur bones, which is what you often see in a museum,” Sarver said. “This is the real deal — it’s real research.”

Bailey said it is often hard to get research grants from federal institutions for optometry research, so

the EyePod gives her the opportunity to get a large sampling of data at a relatively cheaper cost.

Since the lab opened in 2012, it has conducted three large-scale studies, which in total have examined at least 1,500 visitors. If the team were to take the traditional research approach instead of using the EyePod, it is likely it would take more than a decade and 10 times as much money to collect the same amount of data, Bailey said.

“If you had to schedule those people here at the university, and pay for their parking, and pay them for their time, it would have never happened,” she said.

Bailey said one of the main goals when opening the labs was allowing the guests to be part of real science and allowing them to talk with scientists who are engaging in real research. She added that the general public also has the opportunity to see a lab in action, and children visiting the museum might be inspired to go into a science field after seeing scientists in action.

“So the nice thing is that when children are there, they can see a real science research project,” Bailey said. “Hopefully it encourages young women to think they can COSI CONTINUES ON 2

1. An attempted robbery near the corner North Fourth and Oakland streets turned violent after three individuals were shot at about 2 a.m. on Sunday. Officers were patrolling in the area and ran to the scene when they heard the gunshots. All three victims were expected to survive, according to the report.

2. An assault report was filed just after 2 a.m. on Saturday after an Ohio State student was struck in the head by a bottle at the 1800 block of North High Street. The suspect had left the scene before officers arrived.

3. A report of sexual imposition was filed after 3 a.m. on Saturday, stating a female victim was riding home with the suspect when that individual began touching the victim’s breast and making sexual demands. The victim vacated the automobile near High Street

and East 17th Avenue.

4. A theft from a motor vehicle was reported on Tuesday when a MacBook, driver’s license and a credit card were missing and the passenger-side window of the automobile was smashed on East 13th Avenue.

5. A report of drug paraphernalia and possession among multiple suspects at Mirror Lake was filed just before 10 p.m. Saturday evening by a staff member.

6. A theft was reported after an officer caught a suspect carrying a “Buckeyes are tobacco free” signboard taken from the 18th Avenue Library. The suspect was stopped near the corner of West Lane and Neil avenues and told the officer he took the signboard because he is a tobacco user and found the sign humorous.

be a researcher when they grow up. In my mind, my main job is to do research, but in this case it has lots of benefits for lots of people.”

Bailey said her team has faced some challenges during its time running the lab. She said grants, which are often competitive, are needed to ensure the lab can be staffed. Additionally, the team had to figure out how to get the most data from the COSI guests in the time they were willing to spend in the lab.

From time to time, visitors who are being studied in the lab also learn that their vision is less than perfect, Bailey said. She added that while it’s not one of the goals of the lab to screen patients, it is an important consequence. She added that children often do not realize that they are nearsighted, so the lab provides the opportunity for researchers to tell parents when their child is not seeing well.

“It shows that vision is important,” Bailey said. “It is the sense you use most to interact with the world, unless, of course, you don’t have it.”

Bailey said the lab studies the ciliary muscle, an eye muscle that was not visible for a long time, and for many years, the muscle was only visible via ultrasound, which made it difficult to research on a large scale.

However, a few years ago the university developed an alternative method to research

the muscle. The lab is one of the few in the world researching it, and Bailey said she believes OSU has more data about the ciliary muscle than any other institution.

Jackie Davis, who coordinates outreach for the College of Optometry, said the EyePod fits into the larger goal of outreach for the college. The college’s outreach also includes clinics around Columbus, many in underserved areas. Davis said the university’s outreach benefits students because it allows them to see conditions they might otherwise not see in a classroom setting — including people who have never had vision care before.

“When we have clinics on campus, we often see college students and faculty who are generally healthy people,” Davis said. “Outreach gives students a different perspective.

It gives them a different idea of what they can do when they graduate.”

OPINION

As one-child rule changes, personal effects remain AMANDA ETCHISON Editor in Chief etchison.4@osu.edu For as long as I can remember, my adoption story has been an integral part of how I describe myself to others.

Growing up, I heard countless retellings of how I was found only a few days old abandoned on a busy bridge near Guangzhou, a city in Guangdong Province in southern China. My parents recalled details that we feasibly had no way to confirm were true: that a police officer took me to a local orphanage where women called “aunties” watched over me until my parents arrived to take me to my new home in the United States.

Somewhere along the line, the circumstances of my birth and subsequent abandonment were attributed to China’s one-child policy, a government initiative introduced in 1979 to slow the country’s rapidly growing population rate. Many families were strictly limited to having one child, and those that refused to comply faced punishments that ranged from fines to forced sterilization or abortions.

On Friday, after decades of operating under the one-child policy, the Chinese government announced that the nation will now allow couples to have two children.

And while part of me rejoices for those who are finally able to fulfill dreams of raising a larger family, as a rejected child of a family who could not afford to keep me, I know that any sort of policy like this affects individuals in irreversible ways.

Following the government’s announcement, I have read countless op-eds about the political, economic and societal effects — both good and bad — this policy revision is set to have on China. And while I am in no position to comment on the validity of many of these arguments, as someone whose life has been shaped by this policy, I implore others to not forget the personal impacts these decisions have on individuals and families across the globe.

My personal connection to such a wide-reaching policy has been the subject of countless history class speeches, Common App essays and “about me” icebreakers. I have never been ashamed of telling others about the non-traditional start to my life, yet sharing my story again and again has not diminished my nagging self-conscious fear that I do not fit snugly into either my birth or adopted culture. It has not filled the spot in my heart that remains empty when I picture my birth mother

Lisa Suárez-Brentzel, owner of LACQUER Modern Nail Salon and Gallery, thought the nail salon community could use a little more color.

“There were no tattooed, Hispanic girls doing nails when I started, but I love the thrill of opening a business,” she said.

Suárez-Brentzel opened LACQUER with a goal of offering fashion-forward nail art and other cosmetic services with a girly loft vibe. She said her dreams of being in the cosmetology business are nothing new, though.

After high school, Suárez-Brentzel began massage school in hopes of combining medicine with her interest in cosmetology.

“My family is very traditional and wanted me to go to a four-year college for nursing, but I knew I wanted to do something more alternative,” Suárez-Brentzel said.

She said massage school turned out to not capture her attention, so she transitioned into cosmetology school and, to her surprise, found her true passion in nails work.

She began to work at a salon in Polaris doing traditional nail services like acrylics in red and nude colors and French manicures, but became increasingly infatuated with edgier nail trends from London.

“When I was getting into the business about seven years ago, nail art was not progressive in Columbus. It was seen as ‘tacky,’” Suárez-Brentzel said. “But then I started getting heavy into Tumblr and found these trendy, edgy girls who were making nail art cool.”

When Suárez-Brentzel was 22 years old, she left the salon in Polaris and began working for herself, she started offering free nail art manicures to her clients to test the market. This was a service that was not offered much in the Columbus area. The community response was so positive that she had to hire two more girls to help manage the demand.

“That’s how you stand out in this business: offering something that other people don’t,” Suárez-Brentzel said.

As her clientele for modern nail art grew, so did her staff and salon space.

Suárez-Brentzel opened up LACQUER on 448 W. 3rd Ave. in Grandview, a mere two weeks after signing the lease.

Upon entry, customers are greeted with a high, white ceiling, exposed brick walls, furniture slung with fur throws and the sweet aroma of burning candles. A bouquet of sunflowers rests in glass vases next to assorted candy jars. Fashion magazines are spread out on coffee tables and artwork and photographs hang on the walls.

A pink neon sign hangs above a black leather couch in the lobby area that says, “Support your local girl gang.”

Katie Johnson was awaiting her first appointment at LACQUER after her sister referred the salon.

“The atmosphere makes me want to come back. I’m officially converted,” Johnson

said.

LACQUER offers natural nail manicures, acrylic manicures, pedicures, spray tanning, permanent makeup and tattoo removal, facials, eyelash and eyebrow tinting, eyelash extensions and henna tattoos. All services are by appointment only. On Sundays, there are yoga classes. All polishes are vegan-friendly.

“My goal always has been to offer the modern girl something different,” Suárez-Brentzel said.

LACQUER is best known for their artistic and wearable gel nail art manicures that take around 30 minutes.

Libby Vynalek said she has been into LACQUER about 10 times and hasn’t visited another salon since her first appointment.

“It’s a total girl’s business, I love it,” Vynalek said.

“But then I started getting heavy into Tumblr and found these trendy, edgy girls who were making nail art cool.”

Lisa Suárez-Brentzel Owner, LACQUER

The typical clientele of LACQUER is 25to 40-year-old women who are fast-paced and fashion-forward, Suárez-Brentzel said.

There is a small following of men and a strong following of female college students.

“During college or grad school, girls have no money for new highlights or a brand new outfit or a new Kate Spade, but they’ll spend $35 on a manicure and feel like they have their life together,” Suárez-Brentzel said.

For girls on a budget, LACQUER offers negative space manicures, a nail service where polish isn’t painted on the bed of the nail so that it looks more natural with growth. LACQUER also uses their large social media following to offer “pop-up deals” that work as coupons.

As a self-taught businesswomen, Suárez-Brentzel attempts to support her fellow female entrepreneurs.

“I just feel like there aren’t enough girls who support each other, so that’s where the ‘Support your local girl gang’ came from,”

Suárez-Brentzel said. “We always say ‘girls against boys,’ but I don’t think that’s true.

I think that girls in business can be very segregated and catty. There are enough clients for everybody, so I made it a prominent thing that we use women vendors.”

Suárez-Brentzel said she is also very conscious of how she mixes business with fam-

ily.

“I’m a single mom, so it’s important that my daughter sees me here working so she understands why I can’t be with her all the time,” Suárez-Brentzel said. “She is 4 years old and already waltzes in here like, ‘I need a facial,’ and I’m like, ‘You’re a baby.’”

Meal prepping is full of gains COOKING IN COLLEGE

SALLEE ANN RUIBAL Arts&Life Editor ruibal.1@osu.edu According to my bank statement, the last time I ordered Moe’s delivery to the newsroom was on August 26.

“ORDERUPMOE’S” used to make up about half of my bank statements. Now it’s “PURCHASETITLEBOXING.” I have become one of those people who takes fitness classes before the sun rises, meets with a personal trainer and, most surprising of all, meal preps. It’s a big change from downing queso.

I learned how to meal prep how I have learned most things in life: the Internet.

Specifically, Reddit. One of the social platform’s subreddits (a community within a community, so to speak), MealPrepSunday, is full of posts from users who devote a day, usually Sunday, to preparing their meals for the week. Users often have three or four different gourmet-looking, perfectly nutritionally balanced meals stored in BPA-free plastic containers with nifty dividers.

This was intimidating to me at first. But when my personal trainer said I have the diet his 2-year-old son wishes he could have, I knew I had to change my delivery ways. I couldn’t allow a kale protein shake-drinking toddler to be more of an adult than me.

I knew it would make my wallet fatter and stomach smaller if I stopped ordering fast food and started meal prepping.

I store my meals in Ziploc containers that I got at the grocery store, four for $3. I don’t microwave my meals because I think some foods are just better cold than reheated.

Therefore I don’t have to worry about plas-

SALLEE ANN RUIBAL | ARTS&LIFE EDITOR

One of Sallee Ann Ruibal’s prepared meals of the week. tic containers releasing carcinogens in the microwave (not that I ever have) like many other subreddit users.

At first, the cooking part of meal prepping was the most daunting. Yes, that person’s chicken and roasted asparagus looks delicious, but how do you make that? Where’s the recipe? Spoiler: there’s not many reci-

pes when it comes to meal prepping. It’s based more so on general knowledge of basic cooking skills and personal preferences.

This is one reason why it’s an easy skill for college students — read: lazy people like yours truly — to adopt.

Speaking of lazy, I have learned through this that I have no shame in buying pre-cut

vegetables courtesy of the lovely people at Giant Eagle Market District. If I buy a sweet potato, it stays in my pantry until it starts sprouting little sweet potato trees of its own — I know that’s not how science works, but just go with the metaphor. Pre-diced sweet potatoes, though? Those go straight into my oven, preheated to 400 degrees, cozy next to some asparagus, with a drizzle of olive oil and some seasonings of my choosing — thyme, parsley and the fanciest spice of all: rosemary. Those roast for about 20 minutes, or until I remember to poke them with a fork to test tenderness and see that they’re done On the stovetop I boil a pot of water with a glug of olive oil and salt for quinoa. Quinoa is like rice’s sister who does yoga, and it also keeps better in the fridge, in my opinion. I heat a pan up, setting of around 6, and prep my meat. I need protein otherwise I’m just unfulfilled and those massive boxing biceps of mine don’t get big — I’m very small. My protein of choice is steak. I get a packaged strip steak of medium size, by that I mean costs approximately $7, and that lasts me about two or three servings, especially when bulked up with quinoa and roasted vegetables. I pat the steaks dry, rub with olive oil and steak seasoning, sear on both sides and finish in the oven. I know it is done when I do a test slice and blood doesn’t leak out a la “The Walking Dead.”

It makes me happy when I see my full, stacked containers in the fridge. Food that comes in boxes is always more appealing, isn’t it? Meal prep is like that, only with a much bigger and better payoff. But I still love you, Moe.

BARRETT FROM 8

the bye week I thought we made it clear that we shouldn’t have any, and then for it to happen from a guy like him, I think (stunned) is a perfect word for it,” Decker said.

Meyer said he initially learned about the incident from a 6 a.m. text message. He was so surprised by the news that he immediately called the person who texted him to confirm that he was reading it correctly.

Barrett then visited Meyer’s house later on Saturday to talk to him in person about the situation.

Meyer said he told the quarterback that he will now have to deal with something he never has before: a damaged reputation.

“When they say, you’re too short, you don’t run fast enough, your arm strength isn’t good enough, you’re just an average quarterback, you can deal with that. You just outwork it,” Meyer said.

“When they start attacking who you are, especially people who don’t know who you are, and I told him, that’s the toughest thing he’ll ever have to deal with is that now there’s some question as to who you are.”

Meyer said Barrett drove to pick someone up to give him or her a ride home. The quarterback told his coach that he did not believe he was over the legal blood alcohol content limit of 0.08 percent to drive a motor vehicle, though the limit is 0.02 percent for an underage individual like the 20-year-old Barrett.

As for the game against Minnesota, Meyer officially announced on Monday that it will be redshirt

junior Cardale Jones getting the start at quarterback. Jones had started 10 consecutive games going back to last season’s Big Ten Championship Game before being pulled in favor of Barrett in OSU’s Week 8 game at Rutgers.

Beyond Minnesota, Meyer said he hasn’t given the identity of the starting quarterback too much thought.

“If he’s good enough and if he earns that right (he will start again),” Meyer said. “I haven’t even gone that far yet.”

The Buckeyes, with Jones returning to the starting quarterback spot, are set to take on Minnesota on Saturday. Kickoff is slated for 8 p.m. at Ohio Stadium.

score with their core GPA according to a sliding scale.

“For example, an SAT score of 1,000 requires a 2.5 high school core-course GPA for competition and a 2.0 high school core-course GPA for aid and practice,” a press release from the NCAA stated.

The NCAA has long stressed that it prides itself on more than just athletic competition. Willis said the new rule strengthens the association’s mantra.

“It also shows the importance of having some commitment to the academic side at the high school level,” Willis said.

10 and nine points, respectively.

Blair also gathered 10 rebounds, with four coming on the offensive end. Hart, who started 32 of OSU’s 35 games last season, said she was glad to finally be joined by a mix of fellow post players after standing as one of the only bigs playing major minutes a season ago.

“It’s kind of exciting to know that I don’t always have to kill myself out there. Just to know that there are other people who can do the same thing that I can do,” Hart said.

Hart and Cooper were joined in the starting lineup with Mitchell, Alston and senior guard Cait Craft.

Despite holding Ursuline to 61 points, coach Kevin McGuff and the Buckeyes said they were not satisfied with their performance.

Entering the summer, OSU knew improvement on the defensive end would be necessary to reach its goals, and McGuff still saw room to get better on Sunday.

“We gave up a few too many drives to the basket, and that impacts your rebounding. I didn’t think our communication was good either,” McGuff said.

OSU used its speed and size advantage to out-rebound Ursuline 45-40.

Entering last season, McGuff implemented a full-court press defense emphasizing ball-pressure and turnovers. With more depth and a year of experience in the system under their belts, the Buckeyes took full advantage forcing 33 turnovers and scoring 46 points off them. McGuff said he was not

aware of the turnovers leading to points but he was not surprised.

“We have a team that, when we do turn somebody over, we have a lot of offensive weapons so we can turn those into points,” McGuff said.

Seven OSU players tallied at least one steal, with Mitchell and

Welcome back The largest cheers from the crowd on the afternoon came when those returning from injuries entered the game and later when they scored.

Redshirt freshman guard Kianna Holland, redshirt freshman forward Chelsea Mitchell and redshirt freshman forward Makayla Waterman returned from torn ACL injuries. Redshirt junior forward Kalpana Beach returned after being sidelined with arthroscopic knee surgery.

When Chelsea Mitchell made a 3-pointer with 1:33 remaining in

the game, many of the 3,824 who remained in attendance rose to their feet and cheered.

“These kids have worked so hard to get to this point,” McGuff said.

“It’s really gratifying to see them take that effort onto the court and impact our team in such a positive way.”

Steep uptick in competition The Buckeyes used the opportunity against Ursuline to play a game against a team of players in another uniform without the score or statistics truly counting. OSU had a major size, speed and depth advantage from beginning to end. Since it was an exhibition game and the end result is not a main concern, McGuff was able to try different lineups and mess with his rotation.

McGuff and the Buckeyes will not enjoy that luxury when their season begins on Nov. 13.

OSU opens the regular season on the road against South Carolina, which finished last season 34-3 and earned a trip to the Final Four.

The game is scheduled to begin at 7 p.m.

Following the South Carolina game, the Scarlet and Grey are set to host the defending national champion, the Connecticut Huskies, who finished last season 381, on Nov. 16 at the Schottenstein Center. Tipoff is slated for 5:30 p.m.

Barrett was cited early Saturday morning for operating a motor vehicle OSU redshirt while intoxicatsophomore ed, he did not quarterback only lose his J.T. Barrett starting spot for at least one game, but he might have also lost thousands of dollars.

OSU coach Urban Meyer announced on Monday that in addition to a one-game suspension that Barrett will serve during Saturday’s home game against Minnesota, the Wichita Falls, Texas, native also had a scholarship taken away COURTESY OF OSU ATHLETICS

as punishment for the citation.

“When a kid has an issue like that there’s some type of punitive damage as far as missing a game or something, and then they forfeit their scholarship at some point,” Meyer said, adding that the scholarship revokement was something he has done in the past.

The scholarship was later confirmed by an OSU spokesman to be Barrett’s summer aid — compensation given by OSU to athletes who are taking six or more academic credit hours during the summer term.

The spokesman added that the team holds workouts over the summer that players must be taking at least six credit hours to attend. The summer aid also covers housing and living expenses.

According to OSU’s website, the out-of-state tuition rate for six credit hours in the Summer 2015 term was $6,676.10 for Barrett’s

communication major, and that does not include the other cost-ofliving expenses.

Meyer confirmed that the suspension was not mandatory under OSU’s drug and alcohol policy, but the coach handed it down himself.

He also said Barrett will undergo counseling through the university.

“If he’s good enough and if he earns that right (he will start again). I haven’t even gone that far yet.”

Meyer said another punishment is still under consideration for the redshirt sophomore: the forfeiture of his team captaincy.

“You know, I visited with some

older players about that, my initial reaction was he might and let me just talk to some guys,” Meyer said. “But it was very strong with the leadership on the team to (not take it away). I’m still in my own mind going through that. And as of now, no.”

Co-captain and senior left tackle Taylor Decker said Barrett had handled everything as he should since the citation, but he doesn’t know what the decision will ultimately be on the captaincy.

“He took the responsibility,” Decker said. “He actually called me Sunday because he just wanted to explain to me what happened himself. I thought that was a really mature move by him.”

Decker added that it is hard to believe that Barrett would be the one to get in trouble after witnessing his character for three years.

NCAA raises minimum GPA for incoming freshmen athletes New policy will require 2.3 GPA in core high school classes, up from the current 2.0 requirement TINAE BLUITT For The Lantern bluitt.2@osu.edu Beginning in 2016, multiple changes to NCAA scholarship requirements will go into effect.

Arguably the most prominent change deals with the minimum high school grade-point average to be eligible to compete collegiality as a freshman.

As it currently sits, for an incoming freshman to be able play in NCAA sanctioned contests as soon as they arrive on campus, they must have at least a 2.0 GPA in core academic classes in high school. Now, as a part of the changes that were originally approved in 2012, the

bare minimum will rise to 2.3 in core academic classes.

The move could potentially hinder some student athletes from competing at the collegiate level in their first year.

According to an article published on the website Stack, the NCAA estimates that 35.2 percent of student athletes that suited up for football programs in the 2009-10 season would not have been eligible had the standards been in place then.

However, if an incoming student athlete fails to meet the soon-to-be minted standard of a 2.3 GPA but does obtain the old 2.0 GPA in core classes, they would be able to receive a scholarship and only participate in practice — not games.

Ohio State’s women’s basketball team took full advantage of its only exhibition game on Sunday as the No. 10 Buckeyes showcased their newfound depth in a lopsided 11361 victory over Division II school Ursuline College.

In total, 13 Buckeyes played, eight of whom played at least 10 minutes. This starkly contrasts last season’s preseason game against Eckerd College in which only seven players on an injury-ravaged OSU team saw the court.

“I think it’s going to be a great thing knowing we have a lot of people who can come in and give their energy,” sophomore guard and Big Ten preseason player of the year Kelsey Mitchell said.

As expected, the bigger, faster Buckeyes dominated Ursuline offensively, smashing last season’s average of 81 points per game.

Senior guard Ameryst Alston led OSU with 17 points, but she was just one of seven players to score double-digits.

Women’s basketball team looks strong in exhibition game against Ursuline Alston also kept her teammates involved, tying Mitchell — who added 15 points herself — with eight assists. OSU racked up 26 assists, more than the 15.3 it averaged last season.

Much of the Scarlet and Gray’s success came from the interior, as 6-foot-3 sophomore forward Alexa Hart, 6-foot-2 junior forward Shayla Cooper and 6-foot-6 redshirt junior center Lisa Blair took full advantage of their size. OSU scored 62 points in the paint as the trio of Hart, Cooper and Blair scored 14,

Chris McLain, assistant coach and recruiting coordinator for the OSU women’s soccer team, echoed Willis’ support for the new rule.
