Season ends for Sara
A season which included a 12-game winning streak and four Ohio Athletic Conference Player of the Week awards ended abruptly for Fort Recovery graduate Sara Heitkamp and her Capital University women’s basketball team this week.
The Crusaders, who even climbed into the top 25 in Division III this year, were bounced from the OAC tournament with an 83-69 loss to Wilmington Thursday. They had beaten Wilmington 74-71 and 72-68 in the two previous meetings between the squads.
Heitkamp had a rough final game in her outstanding season, hitting just 3-of-12 field goals and going 0-for-5 from 3-point range on the way to scoring seven points. She did, however, notch team highs of five steals and three assists to go along with eight rebounds.
The sophomore earned her fourth OAC player of the week honor mostly because of her tremendous effort in a 65-51 win over Muskingum. She had career highs of 32 points and 17 rebounds in the contest.
She also led the Crusaders with 21 points in a 74-64 win over Ohio Northern which clinched the team a share of the OAC regular-season title.
In addition, Heitkamp went 7-of-14 from the field and 9-of-10 from the foul line for 24 points in a three-point loss to Baldwin-Wallace. She added six rebounds, four steals and three assists in the defeat.
She put together a double-double in the first round of the OAC tournament with 10 points and 10 rebounds as the Crusaders topped Ohio Northern 51-46.
Heitkamp was the leading Crusader in every major statistical category.
She averaged 16.5 points (third OAC) and 7.2 rebounds per contest. She also had an OAC-leading 111 steals and 89 assists as she started all 26 games.
She finished with a 48 percent mark from the field while hitting 43 percent (fourth OAC) from 3-point range and 76 percent from the free-throw line.
