The Bluffton University football team traveled to Hanover College for the HCAC-opening clash with the Panthers on Saturday, Sept. 28, 2019. Unfortunately for the Beavers, the Panther defense was too much for a Bluffton team which only totaled 192 yards of total offense on the day, falling 28-10 to Hanover.

 For the second time in three weeks, Bluffton University senior Alexis Cash (Gaines, MI/Lake Fenton) has been named the Heartland Conference Runner of the Week. Cash also took home Runner of the Week after a 10th place finish at the OWU invitational on September 14.

Cash had an impressive finish, placing 36th out of 125 Division III runners with a time of 24:42 on Saturday at the All-Ohio Championships.

The Bluffton University women's golf team capped off its weekend of hosting the HCAC Preview with a 376 on Sunday, Sept. 22. Bluffton's 750 for the tournament is good for 2nd all-time (36 holes).
