FINDLAY, Ohio ­– Too many turnovers cost the Ursuline College basketball team a chance to pick up a road win on Wednesday (Nov. 14) evening as the Arrows lost to the University of Findlay, 91-49.

With the loss, Ursuline fell to 0-2 on the young year. The Oilers - picked to finish third in the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (GLIAC) South Division after finishing 15-12 last year – are 1-0.
