COLUMBUS (AP) -- Caity Matter scored 17 points and No. 16 Ohio State used 61 percent shooting to beat Ohio 83-50 in the season opener for both teams Friday night.
Kim Wilburn added 15 points for the Buckeyes, who built a 44-20 lead by shooting 15-for-25 in the first half. Ohio State finished 27-for-44 from the floor while holding the Bobcats to 34 percent (17-for-50) shooting.

Michelle Munoz, a sophomore who sat out last year after transferring from Tennessee, scored eight points in her Ohio State debut.
