In a game rescheduled from Saturday because of Winter Storm Harper, the Malone University women's basketball team went to Ursuline College on Monday afternoon and came out on the losing end of a 64-42 decision in Pepper Pike.

Just four days after a 76-46 win over Lake Erie in which Malone shot a season-high 50% from the field, the Pioneers shot only 30.8% and scored a season-low 42 points in Monday's loss. Ursuline, meanwhile, used a 26-2 second-half run to pull away and improve to 6-11 on the season and 5-6 in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference. Malone dropped to 6-11 and 4-7 in the G-MAC.

Recap
The Pioneers led for the majority of the first quarter after a pair of three-pointers from Ellen Doyle and Chrissie Vaughan gave them an 8-3 lead. The Arrows, however, outscored Malone 9-1 down the stretch to end the first quarter and then opened the second quarter on an 8-2 rally to go ahead 20-11,
 
Malone countered with seven straight points, including five from Sydney Wentling to close to within two points at 20-18, but the Arrows used another 8-2 run to grab a 28-20 lead going into halftime.
 
The Pioneers opened the second half on their own 8-2 run and brought the score to within two points once again at 30-28 at the 7:47 mark. From there, though, it was all Ursuline.
 
The Arrows ended the third quarter on a 20-0 run to extend their lead to 50-28. On the first possession of the fourth quarter, Wentling stopped Malone's eight-minute scoring drought with a layup, but the Arrows scored the next six points to make it a 56-30 contest with 7:15 left to play.
 
The 26-2 run accounted for the difference in the final score as Ursuline cruised to the 64-42 triumph.
