Oberlin, Ohio - Host Oberlin outscored DePauw 13-4 over the final 3:32 and knocked the Tigers out of first place in the North Coast Athletic Conference with a 55-50 win. The Tigers dropped to 17-7 overall and 10-3 in the NCAC, while the Yeowomen improved to 16-7 overall and 7-5 in conference play.

DePauw led by as many eight points in the second period, but Oberlin closed the gap to 22-21 at the half. A tight third quarter that included six lead changes ended with DePauw holding a 33-31 lead.

The lead went back-and-forth early in the fourth before DePauw went on at 7-2 run with Lily Huntzinger converting a three-point play and knocking in four free throws to give the Tigers a 46-42 lead with 4:13 left.

Camille Zinaich hit a jumper and Alyson Jefferson made a pair of free throws to even the score at 46-46 with 2:56 remaining.

Jefferson then gave Oberlin the lead with a three-point play with 35 seconds remaining. 

The Tigers couldn't convert on the offensive end and sent Zinaich to the line who made both to give the Yeowomen a 53-50 lead. Following a timeout the Tigers missed a potential game-tying 3-pointer, but were awarded possession with 1.8 seconds left after the ball went out of bounds off of an Oberlin player.
