As one door closes, another one opens. This fall season in sports, that saying is a reality. The Bluffton University Athletic Department hired three new coaches over the summer and one coach last spring to fill positions with the football, cross country, track and field, and men’s soccer and women’s soccer teams.

On Saturday, Feb. 17, the Bluffton University Women’s Basketball team (19-6, 14-4 HCAC) played host to the Franklin College Grizzlies (7-17, 6-12 HCAC) on senior day and won with a season-high score of 98-82.

Women’s Basketball

The Bluffton University women’s basketball team is coming off of a strong season last year and will look to keep its place close to the top of the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.

As the weather begins to bitter and we exchange falling leaves for glistening snow, we reflect on the end of the fall sports while beginning to gain excitement for the winter and spring. The fall had some ups and some downs, but we thought it would be appropriate to celebrate some of the best athletes in each sport on their accomplishments this fall. So without further adieu, we would like to introduce The Witmarsum’s first Fall Sports awards.
