DELAWARE, Ohio – Brittany Leutz and Evelyn Wischmeyer provided the scoring to turn back a fourth quarter Muskingum University rally as Albion College earned a 73-61 victory in the title game of the Bishop Classic/Hoops for Hope.

Olivia Besancon hit a pair from 3-point range to pull the Fighting Muskies within five with 8:45 to play.

Leutz and Wischmeyer combined to score the next nine points to build the margin back to double figures.

The score was tied at 33 at halftime, but Albion outscored Muskingum, 22-11, in the third quarter as the Britons defense created numerous easy scoring opportunities.
