Police in Ohio are investigating after Memphis guard Jamirah Shutes sucker punched Bowling Green's Elissa Brett in the face during handshakes following BGSU’s win on Thursday night in the third round of the Women’s National Invitational Tournament (WNIT).

The university released a statement following the game announcing that the incident had been turned over to campus police.

BGSU declined to comment further, citing an "active" investigation.

"The incident that took place following tonight’s home WNIT game has been turned over to the BGSU Police Department," the statement read. "Bowling Green State University Athletics does not make comments about active police investigations. Our priority is with the health, safety and support of our student-athletes."
