While most Bethany students were heading home for the holidays
the Lady Bruins were locked in a tight battle with Notre Dame de
Namur University but eventually lost 58-57. Bethany lead at the
half 35-24 thanks to the outstanding play of freshman guard Jillian
Mooney. Mooney, a standout at local Scotts Valley High School,
shot 3-4 from beyond the arc and lead all Bethany scorers with
14 pointsin only 20 minutes. Sarah
Kritscher recorded
her 2nd double-double of the season with 12 points and hard fought
rebounds. Kritscher currently leads the team in scoring with 12.4
points per game. In the second half the Bruins gave away too many
fouls down the stretch to maintain the lead and hold on for the
win. After their performance head coach Dan Mooney expressed, "I
am very proud of the way these ladies competed tonight. They played
together and it was exciting to see some of the potential of this
team." Box
