HCAC Pre-season Coaches Poll http://www.bluffton.edu/sports/mensbasketball/2013/hcacpoll.pdf

With Founders Hall in the rearview mirror, the Bluffton University men’s basketball team is excited to make its mark in the newly-minted Sommer Center. Fresh off their second consecutive Heartland Conference tournament berth, the change of scenery has Bluffton athletes and fans excited for the start of the 2012-13 campaign.

 

The Bluffton University women's soccer team traveled to Defiance College on a summery Wednesday, Oct. 24, 2012, and battled the Yellow Jackets for 90 minutes, coming up just short as a Defiance cross slipped inside the back post in minute 70 for the only score of the match. The Beavers fell to 3-11-1 overall and 1-5-1 in the Heartland Conference following a disappointing loss to their rivals, while DC improved to 9-5-4 and 4-2-2 in the HCAC.
