Shayla Cooper and Sierra Calhoun also reached double figures in scoring for OSU, pouring in 19 and 13 points, respectively. Ohio State dominated inside, scoring 58 points in the paint compared to Southern’s 16.

As a team the Buckeyes had a good night shooting-wise, making just over 62 percent of their shots from the floor and 31 of their 40 free throw attempts. They jumped out to a big 33-13 lead after the first quarter and led 60-30 at halftime.

For the Jaguars, Skylar O’Bear led the way with 19 points, while Jaden Towner and Miaya Crowder reached double-digits too.
