OSHKOSH, Wis.- The UW-Oshkosh women's basketball team claimed its 15th win of the season after taking down UW-Stout 58-47 on Saturday (Jan. 27) at the Kolf Sports Center.

The Titans (15-5, 6-2 WIAC), ranked No. 18/25 in the nation, shot 35.3 percent from the field and 22.7 percent from behind the arc while converting 17-of-19 free throws in the contest. Oshkosh forced 18 Stout turnovers, scored 20 points off turnovers, and finished the game with four blocks and 11 steals.

Oshkosh was led by Kennedy Osterman (Sr. • Pewaukee), who scored 14 points and grabbed four rebounds. Bridget Froehlke (Jr. • Wrightstown) finished with 11 points and four rebounds while Kayce Vaile (Sr. • Greendale) had a double-double, scoring 10 points and grabbing 10 boards.

The Blue Devils (12-7, 2-6 WIAC) scored the first eight points of the first quarter, but with seven minutes to go in the period, the Titans went on an 8-0 run to tie the game at 8-8. Both teams traded three-pointers with two minutes remaining, and Kate Huml (So. • Janesville) converted on a pair of free throws followed by Vaile with a layup to give Oshkosh a 15-11 lead at the break.

Osterman knocked down a free throw to give the Titans a five-point advantage to begin the second quarter and Froehlke nailed a three-pointer that sparked an 8-0 run and gave Oshkosh a 24-11 lead. The Titans maintained a double-digit advantage for the rest of the quarter and led 33-18 going into halftime.

Stout kicked off the third quarter with back-to-back three-pointers from Sydney Brennan and Lexi Wagner to cut the Titan lead to 33-24. The Blue Devils embarked on a 9-0 spurt midway through the quarter to tie the game at 33 before Vaile responded with a layup to give Oshkosh a two-point advantage. The Titans ended the quarter on a 7-0 run capped off by an Osterman buzzer-beating three-pointer to give UW-Oshkosh a 42-33 lead after three quarters.

The Blue Devils began the fourth quarter with a three-pointer to cut the Titan lead to six points until a pair of free throws from Osterman and a layup from Avery Poole (So. • Cottage Grove) increased Oshkosh's edge to 46-38. With three minutes left in the contest, Stout cut the lead to six points following a free throw, but the Titans outscored the Blue Devils 10-5 the rest of the way to secure the 11-point victory.
