The Beavers tallied their first win of the season on Saturday, Sept. 21, after Donavan Brown's (Cincinnati/Purcell Marian) three-touchdown performance led Bluffton to a 36-21 victory over the visiting Earlham Quakers. The win moved the Beavers to 1-2 overall, but 1-0 in the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
The Beavers returned to the gym to begin their second day of matches in the OAC/HCAC Challenge on Saturday, Sept. 21. Bluffton started out the morning session against Baldwin Wallace.
The first set went well and Bluffton defeated B-W by a 25-19 count. In the second set, the Beavers struggled to put anything together while falling 25-8. Fortunately, they came back to the match in the third set and won 25-17. After a 25-22 setback in the fourth, they came back strong in the clincher to win 15-9.
In conditions more conducive to mud wrestling than running, the Bluffton University Beavers took to the shoe-swallowing muck and ankle-deep water on Otterbein University's cross country course and performed admirably.
With portions of the course completely flooded, an alternative of multiple laps was improvised which only intensified the bog-like conditions as hundreds of feet churned a muddy path around the fields on Saturday, Sept. 21.
The Bluffton University men's soccer team fell in a non-conference matchup with Calvin College, 5-0, on Friday, Sept. 20.
The Beavers were unable to get anything going on offense while the Knights thrived during a match that was plagued by a two-hour thunder delay and heavy rain throughout.
Bluffton fell to 0-6 on the year, while Calvin improved to 2-3. The Beavers will be back in action on Monday, Sept. 23, when they take to the road for a match at Oberlin College. That contest under the lights is slated to begin at 7:30 p.m.
