After spending their first Friday on campus since the beginning of the year, the Beavers were excited to get back on the road Saturday to travel to Mount Union to face Marietta College along with the #8 ranked host school.
The first match was a long and intense battle against a Marietta squad that took down the Beavers on the opening weekend at the Sommer Center Spiketacular. In the first set Bluffton welcomed two injured players back into the lineup.
The Beavers traveled to Cincinnati on Saturday, Sept. 28, for a Heartland Conference matchup with the Mount St. Joseph Lions. Bluffton fell 52-28, despite an excellent passing performance from quarterback Nick Sheehan (Monroe Ind./Heritage) as the junior threw for 372 yards and three touchdowns on 23 completions.
Bluffton University wide receiver Shawn Frost (Edison, Ohio/Mt. Gilead) was voted as the HCAC Play of the Week for week 3.
The senior earned the title after voting took place on the HCAC social media outlets of Facebook and Twitter.
Frost's winning play was a one-handed touchdown grab from junior quarterback Nick Sheehan (Monroeville, Ind./Heritage) late in the fourth quarter against Earlham helping the Beavers cap a 36-21 win in the conference opener.
The final voting tally saw Frost garnering 93 percent of the vote.
