COLUMBUS, Ohio -- — Chance Gray scored 14 of her career-high 31 points in the third quarter and she tied a program-best with nine 3-pointers to help No. 12 Ohio State beat Charlotte 94-53 on Tuesday night.

Gray also opened the scoring in the fourth quarter with her eighth 3-pointer.

Ajae Petty added 12 points and Cotie McMahon scored 11 for Ohio State (2-0).

Alexis Andrews scored 15 points for Charlotte (1-2), which was coming off a 60-41 loss to Wake Forest on Thursday.
