Springfield, Mo. – The Bethany College Swedes Women’s Basketball team travelled over to Springfield, Mo., for a matchup with the No. 15 Evangel University Valor in AG Financial Arena.

An early 22-5 deficit in the first quarter looked daunting, but the Swedes would cut the deficit to single digits in the third quarter. Unfortunately, Evangel would close out the contest with a 50-33 run for a final score of 94-68.

Colbi Rignell would have another solid game with 16 points. Tayten Dewey would tack on another 13 points and four rebounds. Hannah Moss scored eight with a team-high seven rebounds. Becca Unruh led the team with five assists

Turnovers played a huge part in this one as the Swedes turned the ball over 23 times resulting in 26 points off turnovers.

The Swedes have a date with our rivals from up north, the Kansas Wesleyan University Coyotes. This time, both teams will meet in Salina, Kan. in Mabee Arena. Tipoff is set for 6:00 PM.
