BLUFFTON, Ohio - A pair of Bluffton University softball players swept the Heartland Conference Player of the Week awards in much the same fashion that the team has swept it last four opponents. Senior Jess Kuzara (Flat Rock, Mich./Huron) was named the HCAC Hitter of the Week, while freshman Jessie Madzia (Massillon/Tuslaw) earned HCAC Pitcher of the Week honors.
CINCINNATI, Ohio - The Bluffton University Beavers were denied the chance for their fourth series victory in as many chances, as they were defeated in the rubber match of their series with Mount St Joseph, 12-2, in seven innings on Monday, April 6. The loss dropped the Beavers to 15-8 and 8-3 in the HCAC, still leading by a game over Anderson, Earlham and Rose-Hulman. The Lions improved to 9-12 and 4-7 in the conference.
As a scholar of 19th-century women’s literature, Dr. Cheri Larsen Hoeckley knows that marriage plays a central role in many classic novels. But the pressure to get married that can be found in those books also lives on in modern movies and culture, the Westmont College professor says.
BLUFFTON, Ohio - Trey Everett (Sidney/Fairlawn) continued his winning pays when the Beavers made the trip to Ohio Wesleyan University on Saturday, April 4. For his work in Delaware, Everett has been named the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference Men’s Outdoor Field Athlete of the Week. It marks the fourth time that Everett has taken home this honor in 2015, including two outdoor field athlete of the week awards in the last three weeks.
