Note: Morgan (Dumbaugh) Bass was the Ada High School and Ohio Northern University leading basketball scorer...until Wednesday night. Ohio Northern senior Amy Bullimore, of Morrow, surpassed Morgan’s 1,242 points when the Polar Bears beat Heidelberg in Tiffin 67-44. Amy now has scored 1,255 points. Morgan graduated from Ada High School in 2009 and remains the highest scorer in school history.

Ohio Northern senior Amy Bullimore (Little Miami) became Ohio Northern's all-time leading scorer on Wednesday evening with a game-high 16 points as the No. 10-ranked Ohio Northern women's basketball team downed Heidelberg 67-44 at Seiberling Gymnasium.

The Polar Bears extend their winning streak to 15 games and improve to 15-1 on the season and move to a perfect 9-0 through the first half of the double round-robin OAC schedule, while the Student Princes drop to 4-12, 2-7.

Bullimore became ONU's all-time leading scorer at the 6:10 mark of the third quarter sinking her second of two free throws.

The senior tied the all-time record on the previous possession after sinking 1-of-2 free throws.

Her 1,255 career points surpass former Polar Bear standout Morgan (Dumbaugh) Bass's former record of 1,242 points for most in school history.

The senior also climbed within 24 rebounds of becoming ONU's all-time rebounder.

"I didn't really try to think to much about breaking the record," said the All-American center. "I got in a little foul trouble early and I started to worry that maybe I wouldn't get it, but I'm just glad I got and now I can just focus on finishing this season on a strong note with my team."

The Polar Bears were 25-of-67 (37.3 percent) from the field, including 4-of-18 (22.2 percent) from 3-point range, while the Student Princes were 16-of-55 (29.1 percent) from the field, including 6-of-24 (25.0 percent) from 3-point range.

"You have to give Heidelberg some credit because they came out firing," said head coach Michele Durand. "They shot the ball really well early on and got Amy in foul trouble. Once we really settled in and starting shooting the ball more things got better. Amy seemed a little nervous throughout the contest, but once she hit that free throw you could tell she really settled in and started playing much better. I'm proud of our effort. We kind of expect every team in this conference to give us their best so I'm proud of how we handled it as the game went on."

Northern will return to action on Saturday afternoon as they welcome Mount Union to the ONU Sports Center for a 3 pm tipoff.
