STATE COLLEGE, Pa. — Samantha Prahalis had 26 points, Maria Moeller added three key second-half 3s and No. 8 Ohio State overcame a 15-point deficit to beat Penn State 86-73 on Sunday.

A 3-point shooting barrage kept the Buckeyes (23-3, 11-2 Big Ten) in the game after the team committed a season-high 25 turnovers, including 18 in the first half.

Coach Jim Foster's team was more careful after halftime, then overwhelmed the Lady Lions (15-8, 7-6) from the perimeter. Ohio State shot 65 percent from 3-point range, including 9-of-13 in the second half.

Tayler Hill and Prahalis hit 3s from the nearly the same spot in the right corner on back-to-back possessions to give the Buckeyes a five-point lead with 4:01 left.

Prahalis hit another 3 in transition after a steal by Jantel Lavender to put the Buckeyes up 79-71 with 2:52 left.
