In a long-awaiting return, Bellevue College women’s basketball opened up their 2021 season at an unusual time in spring, falling 73-58 at Whatcom. The Bulldogs, with a solid core of returners who were key players last season, had a rough night shooting both from the field and the free throw line all night. Possibly due to opening-night jitters, the ‘dogs shot 25% from the field and only 37% from the line as they quickly fell behind 21-7 after the first quarter. Bellevue had several opportunities to cut the deficit with 27 attempts at the line but could not take advantage of Whatcom’s 26 fouls.<\/p>\n
Mo Bungay, one of the key players off the bench last year, drained seven three-pointers en route to a 29-point outing while also snagging 8 rebounds. Third-year starter Addy Clabby dished out 5 assists and had 2 steals in her playmaking role to aid Bellevue’s efforts. Head Coach Mel Stubblefield cycled in six new freshmen to get their playing experience going with Mckayla Rodriguez impressing with a team-high 12 rebounds in only 13 minutes of action.<\/p>\n
