OSU women roll past St. Francis

Jantel Lavender dominated inside for Ohio State with 23 points and 16 rebounds against smaller St. Francis, Pa., and the second-seeded Buckeyes opened up a 27-point lead before halftime during a 93-59 rout in a first-round NCAA Dayton Regional game on Sunday.

Lavender, the three-time Big Ten player of the year, starting guard Tayler Hill, three reserves and numerous team personnel became ill after eating sandwiches following practice Saturday and missed the pregame shootaround, but most of the Buckeyes (31-4) recovered by game time.
