The Bluffton University women's basketball team traveled to Heartland Conference rival Defiance College on Wednesday, Jan. 8, 2020. The Beavers dropped a 55-50 decision to the Yellow Jackets. Bluffton slipped to 8-4 (2-3 HCAC) on the season, while Defiance improved to 4-8 (3-2 HCAC).
After a Yellow Jacket bucket and a slow start for the Beavers, Brianna Gillig (New Riegel) hit a shot to knot the score at 2-2. Two more Bluffton buckets from Abbie Parkins (Bluffton) and Nora Hemminger (McComb) left the Beavers down by three (11-8) at the end of the first.

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.
