Bellevue College men’s basketball bounced back from it’s first loss of the year with a 79-68 victory in Walla Walla. Bellevue took the lead on a Makai Bloomfield jump shot midway through the first half and never relinquished the lead as BC’s defense, led by the seven steals of Marcus Cole, prevented any Walla Walla threat the rest of the way.
With a narrow 39-35 lead at halftime, the ‘dogs kept Walla Walla in check with 50% shooting from the field along with four steals by Cole who kept the pressure on the Warriors’ offense all night.
Logan Stempniak, who led the team with 30 points, was five-for-10 from the field and made all four of his free throws in the second half. Cole’s seven steals were supplemented by three from Jeremiah Hersrud.
Bellevue snapped Walla Walla’s undefeated win streak at five and ran their own record to 4-1 on the season. Bellevue hosts Mt. Hood this Friday Dec. 8 at 7 p.m.
