WOOSTER, Ohio - After four games in a span of just six days, Wittenberg women's basketball got a weeklong break, and the result was a much-needed victory as the Tigers never trailed in a 78-51 win over Wooster.

Wittenberg jumped on top with a three-pointer on its opening possession by senior Katelyn Haralamos (Maineville, Ohio/Kings) and pushed the lead to 18 points by halftime. The Tigers added the first seven points of the second half and cruised from there, as 12 different players saw at least three minutes of action.
Senior Darbie Zirkle (St. Paris, Ohio/Graham) led both teams with 21 points in the game, thanks in large part to 4-of-6 shooting from three-point range.
