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.
