Bellevue College women’s basketball used last night’s non-league matchup as a stepping stone to break bad habits as the team broke out offensively early for the first time this season in an 86-40 win over visiting Northwest Indian College at Courter Family Athletic Pavilion.\u00a0 Bellevue outscored NW 50-25 in the first half on 55% shooting; a dramatic increase from the team average of 15% over the first three games of the season. Brianna Byrnes was lights out shooting 8-for-10 in the first half. Byrnes finished with 22 points and had three assists and steals as well.<\/p>\n
In the third quarter, Head Coach Mel Stubblefield utilized players off the bench as Ilia Carter had six points on a perfect 2-for-2 from the field and free throw line, and snagged down four rebounds.<\/p>\n
The game featured a breakout night for newcomer Madison Shephard who had 17 points. The two-sport phenom (Bellevue College softball player also) drained 3-of-5 from the three point arc and had four assists, two rebounds, and a steal; all in 18 minutes of action.<\/p>\n
The Bulldogs are 2-2 and have a week off for academic finals before traveling to Roseburg, OR for the Umpqua Crossover Tourney and will play the host Umpqua at 5:00 p.m. Thursday December 16.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
