Preview: Northern Kentucky at Oakland in Horizon League Women’s Basketball AUBURN HILLS, Mich. (Interstat) — A tight Horizon League rematch is set for Wednesday when the Northern Kentucky Norse visit the Oakland Golden Grizzlies in women’s basketball. The teams last met on Feb. 3, with Northern Kentucky (14-15, 9-9 Horizon) escaping with a 77-76 home victory. Oakland (10-17, 7-10) will look to avenge that narrow defeat on its home court at the Athletics Center O’rena. The Norse have won three of their last four, including a 68-62 win over Wright State on Saturday. Forward Abby Wolterman is coming off a dominant performance in that game, posting 19 points and 10 rebounds. She averages 9.7 points and 7.4 rebounds per game in league play and had nine points in the first meeting against Oakland. Oakland has found momentum, winning two straight after a five-game skid. The Golden Grizzlies are powered by guard Makenzie Luehring, who is averaging 24.2 points per game in conference action. She scored 26 points in the loss at Northern Kentucky earlier this month and is fresh off a 31-point, 8-rebound, 5-assist effort in a win over Robert Morris on Saturday. Northern Kentucky holds a slight edge in the standings, but both teams are battling for positioning ahead of the Horizon League tournament. The Norse have shown resilience on the road in league play, while Oakland is 6-5 at home this season. The matchup features a contrast in recent trends. Northern Kentucky relies on balance and rebounding, led by Wolterman and Mya Meredith (15 points vs. Wright State). Oakland’s offense flows through Luehring, who has scored 20 or more points in seven of her last eight games. Tipoff is scheduled for 7 p.m. EST Wednesday. Northern Kentucky visits Detroit on Saturday, while Oakland travels to Cleveland State.
