The win kept the Tigers (13-3) undefeated over five NCAC contests, while the Owls fell to 5-10 (1-4 NCAC) after a season-low scoring output.<\/p>\n<p>Turnovers limited the Owls&#8217; scoring opportunities as Wittenberg snagged 11 steals, and seven extra Kenyon giveaways (15-8) led to a 16-4 edge in points off turnovers for the Tigers. The home team also benefited from Kenyon&#8217;s 29.6% clip from the floor, 21.4% three-point percentage, and 45.5% mark from the free throw line and the poor shooting helped contribute to the Tigers&#8217; 44-26 rebounding advantage. Wittenberg did not shoot the lights out with marks of 40.6% overall and 28.6% from downtown, but the Tigers dominated down low with a 40-16 edge in the paint and a 10-1 margin on the offensive glass.<\/p>\n<p>Wittenberg went ahead early and never looked back, jumping out to a 4-0 edge and leading the game wire-to-wire. The early margin grew to 8-1, and the Tigers closed the opening quarter on an 11-0 run to take a 21-6 lead into the second period.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Quarter number two went much better for the Owls when the visitors scored 10 points while holding the Tigers to just 12. <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/anissa-hardy\/7294\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7294\" target=\"_blank\">Anissa Hardy<\/a><\/dfn> started Kenyon off on the right foot, converting a pair of buckets on the Owls&#8217; first two possessions. The first-year finished the frame with six points, though Wittenberg brought a 33-16 advantage into the halftime break.<\/p>\n<p>After Wittenberg shot over 50% in the opening quarter, both teams struggled to find an offensive groove in the second and third periods. The Tigers outscored the Owls 13-9 in the third frame, and the teams scored just four points apiece over the first four minutes of the fourth quarter before Wittenberg doubled its output with baskets on back-to-back possessions.<\/p>\n<p>Kenyon found the mark on their first three-pointer of the game at the 4:15 mark in the fourth frame when <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/grace-murphy\/7293\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7293\" target=\"_blank\">Grace Murphy<\/a><\/dfn> swished home the Owls&#8217; 10th attempt from downtown. Wittenberg responded with a 6-2 spurt, giving the home team its largest lead of the night, 26 points at 60-34.<\/p>\n<p>Despite the game being decided, the Owls were not done knocking down trifectas. <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/alyssa-gest\/7290\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"7290\" target=\"_blank\">Alyssa Gest<\/a><\/dfn> connected from downtown on Kenyon&#8217;s penultimate possession, and <dfn><a href=\"https:\/\/athletics.kenyon.edu\/sports\/womens-basketball\/roster\/chiara-nevard\/6669\" rel=\"smarttag noopener\" rev=\"6669\" target=\"_blank\">Chiara Nevard<\/a><\/dfn> made it two threes in a row with a contested triple just before the final horn.
