Bellevue College women’s basketball continued their hot play with a 60-55 win at Peninsula today. After falling behind by five entering the final quarter, Bellevue drained a few key three-pointers to overtake the Pirates in the fourth.
The ‘dogs tied it up in a little over a minute of play into the fourth quarter on a three-pointer by Addy Clabby and a bucket by freshman McKayla Rodriguez, making it 40-40 with plenty of time remaining. In the final seconds, both teams had opportunities but neither could cash in on a bucket. The Pirates had one last chance but turned the ball over with :08 to play to send the game into overtime.
In OT, Mo Bungay made two big three-pointers to give BC the lead before freshman Helena Van Ess secured the win with two big free throws with a second left on the clock.
Bungay and Clabby paced the Bulldogs with 17 and 14 points respectively while Van Ess filled in for Barbora Sutara in her first start and delivered with a team-high 8 rebounds and the two key free throws in OT.
Bellevue is now 8-1 and in first place in the North Region and will host Olympic College next Wednesday May 19 at 5:00 p.m.
