Bluffton pushed its mark to 15-6 and 10-4 in the Heartland Conference, while Earlham stayed winless at 0-18 and 0-11 in the HCAC.

Bluffton Bread Company online winter sales will run from Feb. 7-March 31, 2022. Four bread flavors are available:

Asiago Cheddar: A savory choice, Asiago Cheddar bread combines the richness of asiago and cheddar cheeses with a hint of buttermilk. Literally packed to the brim with cheese, this loaf is surrounded by a crust of parmesan and cheddar. Sprinkled with a dash of cayenne, this bread is not too spicy, but instead will be a showstopper at any event.

Registration discount until Feb. 25

Currently, ONU requires that everyone wear a mask while inside a building.
