DePauw's seven-game series streak set to extend against Ohio Wesleyan

DePauw has won seven straight in this North Coast Athletic Conference series and leads the meetings 11-5 since 2011, with Ohio Wesleyan's last win in the set dating back to October 2019. Versus expects that streak to continue this Saturday, with DePauw favored 83 percent to win and projected to take the game 37-20.

The grades back up that lean. DePauw carries an A- overall grade with an A offense and an A- defense, ranking 32nd in offense and 42nd in defense among D3 teams. Ohio Wesleyan's underlying grades are also strong, a B+ offense and B- defense, but its divisional rank of 122 out of 234 teams reflects a rougher season, and Versus notes its power rating has slipped in each of the last three weeks after all three of its losses came against teams with winning records.

Both teams sit at 1-1, but DePauw's power rank of 38 sits well ahead of Ohio Wesleyan's 87, and the projected 17-point margin lines up with the recent trend in this conference matchup. A loss here would give Ohio Wesleyan back-to-back defeats for the first time since November 2025, while DePauw would keep intact a run that has seen the Tigers post a winning record in eight straight seasons.
