Jacy Sheldon Makes Game-Winner As Ohio State Defeats No. 6 Seed North Carolina, 71-69, to Advance to Sweet 16

Ohio State is heading to the Sweet 16 for the second year in a row.

The Buckeyes secured their place in the second weekend of the NCAA women’s basketball tournament by defeating No. 6 seed North Carolina, 71-69, in a tight second-round game Monday afternoon at the Schottenstein Center.

North Carolina forced Ohio State to battle for four quarters as the Buckeyes nearly blew a 12-point fourth-quarter lead, but a game-winning basket by Jacy Sheldon with 1.8 seconds left to play propelled the home team to a two-point win.
