The Beavers suffered their first loss of the season on the road at Transylvania University on a rainy Saturday, Dec. 12. The Beavers lost 83-61, shooting a mere 29.9 percent from the field, compared to Transylvania s red-hot 52.9 percent from the field.
The Bluffton shooting woes started in the first period and did not stop as the Beavers hit just 3-of-15 in the opening quarter while Transylvania was drilling 9-of-12 attempts. Junior Brianna Gillig (New Riegel) netted Bluffton s first points with a triple at the 8:12 mark. The visitors then watched helplessly as the Pioneers went on a 14-0 scoring run before senior Kylie Brock (Villa Hills, Ky./Dixie Heights) knocked down a jumper at the 2:59 mark to halt the spurt. The Beavers trailed 26-10 at the end of the first.

The Bluffton University women s basketball team stayed undefeated Wednesday night, outlasting the Adrian College Bulldogs 70-66 in overtime.
With this win the Beavers moved to 6-0 overall, while the Bulldogs fell to 1-3. The icing on the cake is that it was Head Coach Chad Shutler s 200th career victory at Bluffton University.
Junior Brianna Gillig (New Riegel) returning to the lineup was key for the Beavers in the first period with her netting six of the 14 points. A pair of senior guards and a junior post also added to the offense with Emma Saltzman (Arcadia) tossing in two points, while Nora Hemminger (McComb) and Claire Myree (Lakota West) added three points apiece. However, the home team still trailed 20-14 at the end of the first period.
