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.
