The Bluffton University women fell behind 37-19 late in the first half and were unable to make up the deficit as St. Mary's (Ind.) held off the Beavers for a 68-57 victory in day two of the Smokey Ballenger Classic at Otterbein University. Bluffton fell to 2-9 overall, while St. Mary's improved to 5-7 on the season.
They come from different eras and different sports, but together, Erin (Kurtz) Baker, Mark Froning and Jesse Williams comprise the Bluffton University Athletics Hall of Fame Class of 2011-12.
Baker, who graduated in 2000, Froning '68 and Williams '89 will be inducted during a Feb. 4 dinner and ceremony in Marbeck Center.
Bluffton University's official electronic Christmas greeting has been named a "Top Higher Ed Holiday Card" by College Web Editor, a blog about the Web, marketing and public relations in higher education.
The Bluffton Christmas video features a reading of Donna Hendrix's poem "Light of the World" by this year's student hall chaplains. Sent to alumni, donors, parents and prospective students, it was also submitted to College Web Editor and subsequently recognized by Karine Joly, the blog's editor.
