Ursuline improved to 2-7 overall while the Racers, losers in three of their last four, dipped a game below the break-even mark at 5-6.

Senior forward Emma Ricketts led UC in both points (17) and rebounds (11) to pick up her third double-double of the year. She had one against Ohio Dominican University in the season opener and reached the milestone in UC's last game at Central State University on Saturday (Dec. 6).

After scoring 14 points in the first eight games of her collegiate career, freshman guard Camille Gist went for a career-high 13 on Wednesday night. Nine of her points came in 12 second half minutes.
