Beaver sports recap, January 7
Women's Basketball
The Bluffton University women dominated quarters two and four en route to a 61-53 victory over MIAA-power Albion College (9-4) on Saturday, Jan. 7, 2023. In a game that was made possible thanks to Mother Nature, as the Britons were unable to fly to California for their games at Christmas, the Sommer Center faithful was treated to an outstanding non-conference tussle between Albion and Bluffton.
Bluffton was 21-of-54 from the field for 38.9 percent, but the Beavers limited Albion to just 23-of-70 for a paltry 32.9 percent. Albion struggled to a 4-of-22 (18.2 percent) afternoon outside the arc, while the home team finished 3-of-12 (25 percent). Bluffton also dominated at the free throw line, making 16-of-21 (76.2 percent). Albion pulled down six more boards (44-38) but the Beavers and Britons both scored 28 points in the paint.
