Bellevue College men’s basketball fought hard to come back from a 19-point deficit to fall just short of victory in a 91-87 defeat at Walla Walla last night. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although the Bulldogs shot an electric 62% from the field in the first half, draining 20 of 32 attempts, Walla Walla gained early momentum from long distance making 9-of-15 from three-point range en route to a high scoring 54-47 halftime lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Bulldogs slowed Walla Walla down in the second half but could not capitilize, shooting a cold one-for-13 from three point territory. BC was down by as much as 19 points in the second half and whittled it all the way down to a four-point deficit but could not overtake the Warriors. Jett Briceno’s layup with just under a minute left brought Bellevue back to being just down 89-85 but fell short.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Freshman Owen Moriarty had 23 points on 10-of-17 shooting to lead the ‘dogs. Bellevue is now 1-4 and returns home for the Bulldog Classic, a three-game set at Courter Family Athletic Pavilion beginning Friday. The ‘dogs take the floor at 7:00 p.m. against Mount Hood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
