Bellevue College women\u2019s basketball made their debut tonight falling to South Region power, Umpqua by a score of 68-52 at the Thanksgiving Invitational hosted by Clackamas Community College. The Bulldogs, with only three returners back from a sophomore-heavy team last year, were ice cold all game from the field, shooting only 22% from the field on 17-of 79 shooting. The \u2018dogs threw up thirty three-pointers on the night, choosing to score from the perimeter but cashed in on only five. BC could not capitalize on second chance putbacks either as they tallied a whopping 23 offensive boards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
After staying close to the Riverhawks in the opening quarter, Umpqua got the hot hand, outscoring Bellevue 23-7 to stake a 37-18 lead at halftime. The decisive second quarter dominance by Umpqua was the difference as BC played with Umpqua the rest of the way. The Riverhawks shot nearly 60% from the field draining three three-pointers and held a 13-6 rebounding advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the third quarter, Bellevue was eight-for-nine from the free throw line including a perfect four-for-four by sophomore Kristina Blauman but the 20 points by BC was matched by Umpqua, preventing any comeback heroics by the \u2018dogs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Jadyn Mueller led BC with 16 points and 10 rebounds. Jordyn Smith pulled down 12 boards. Bellevue will take on tourney host Clackamas tomorrow at 3 p.m.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
