Minnesota 79, No. 15 Ohio St. 70

MINNEAPOLIS — Leslie Knight scored a career-high 33 points as Minnesota stopped Ohio State’s winning streak at six games. Emily Fox added 16 points and led an aggressive effort by the Gophers (14-6, 5-3) on both ends of the court that brought them within one game of first place in the crowded conference race. The Buckeyes (15-4, 6-2) roared back to tie the game at 50 with a 16-2 charge midway through the second half following Fox’s fast-break, spin-dribble layup stretched the lead to 48-34. Ashlee Trebilcock scored 25 points, and Jantel Lavender added 21 points for three-time defending Big Ten champion Ohio State. Nearly every time the Buckeyes made a big shot, though, Knight was there to answer it. Her teammates were just as clutch down the stretch, too.
