Lloyd hit a 3-pointer and Cooper drilled a pair of long-range bombs to help Ohio Wesleyan close to within 32-26 at halftime, then Graf hit a 3-pointer early in the second half and Cooper drained another shot from downtown as the Bishops tied the game at 32-32 with 16:11 left in regulation time.
Williams answered with a bucket for a 34-32 Mount Union lead, but Cooper struck again from long range, with her 3-pointer giving Ohio Wesleyan a 35-34 lead. Williams came back with another score for the Purple Raiders, but freshman post Laurel Lawson stuck a 3-pointer from near the top of the key for a 38-36 Bishop lead, and after another Williams basket tied the game at 38-38, it was Lawson again, this time with a jumper from the lane to put Ohio Wesleyan ahead to stay at 40-38.
The Bishops stretched their lead to 6 points on a 3-pointer by sophomore guard Molly Baker with 11:11 left, but Mount Union tied it at 45-45 on a Tana Keller free throw, a lay-in by Williams and a Keller 3-pointer.
Lloyd put Ohio Wesleyan ahead to stay with a free throw, then Graf followed with a 3-pointer. After an Ashley Ross free throw brought the Purple Raiders within 49-46, sophomore post Kelli Lester converted a 3-point play and Lloyd scored on a steal and lay-in for a 54-46 Bishop lead.
Mount Union closed to within 56-53 on Hogan's lay-in with 5:40 remaining, but that would turn out to be the Purple Raiders' last basket of the game. Ohio Wesleyan added to its lead with a 3-pointer by Lloyd and a lay-in by Lester, then got a bucket and a free throw by Lloyd in the last 2 minutes to help put the game away.
