Defiance falls to Beavers 68-64

Posted by Icon K on January 9, 2020 - 4:00pm

The Bluffton University men's basketball team traveled to Defiance, Ohio, for a mid-week clash with conference-rival Defiance College on Wednesday, Jan. 8. After knocking off a tough Transylvania team last weekend, the Beavers were looking to extend their win streak to two games and they did just that. Bluffton led for the majority of the game, but it went down to the wire as expected in the rivalry clash as the Beavers found themselves on top, 68-64. Bluffton improved to 7-5 overall and 3-2 in the Heartland Conference, while Defiance fell to 7-5 overall and 2-3 in the HCAC.

Letter: Impressed by the sportsmanship of your team and student body

Posted by LizGH on January 9, 2020 - 2:15pm

Icon viewers:

I wanted to send you an email to tell you how impressed I was by the sportsmanship of not only your team, but your student body. My wife and I sat directly behind your junior high basketball players at the top of the student section. I was very impressed by how well behaved, polite, and respectful all of them were before, during, and after the game. They even said nice things about Mr. Hanna when we were joking around with them at halftime.

Sincerely,
