Gahanna graduate Jennifer Bushby became just the 13th player in Ohio University women's basketball history to reach 1,000 career points, but Toledo spoiled the occasion by winning the Mid-American Conference game 76-54 yesterday in Athens.
Bushby, who scored 16 points, is also just one of two women in Bobcats history to reach 1,000 points, 300 assists and 150 steals in her career. Granville native Laura Reding accomplished the feat in 1987-91.
Bushby also had four rebounds and a team-high three assists for Ohio (6-17, 2-7).
Lisa Johnson scored 13 points to lead the Rockets (18-5, 8-2).
