Bellevue College women’s basketball finished off the weekend going undefeated as the Bulldogs beat Blue Mountain 60-55 today in the final round of the NWAC Crossover Tourney hosted by Chemeketa Community College in Salem, OR.
The Bulldogs got off to a hot start in the first quarter which ultimately propelled them to the win as they sped out to a 19-10 first quarter lead. Sav Huerta was hot early on as was freshman Kristina Blauman who had a breakout game for BC. Huerta was two-for-two from three-point land while Blauman led Bellevue with seven points and three rebounds in the quarter.
Blue Mountain whittled the lead to three in the second half but clutch free throw shooting by Bellevue kept them at a distance. Newcomer Celia La Guardia was one of many who came up big sinking both ends with 3:51 to go pushing Bellevue back up by five at 56-51.
Huerta ended the day five-for-10 from three-point range for 20 points to lead the ‘dogs while Blauman ended the night with 14 points and six rebounds.
Bellevue is now 7-2 and will take a holiday break before resuming action again on December 28 against Walla Walla at the Lower Columbia Holiday Classic in Longview. Tipoff is set for 3:00 p.m.
