Women’s Basketball Team Defeats McKendree in Exhibition Game

The Women’s Basketball season began last Sunday as Bradley faced McKendree in their exhibition opener. (See video.)

These fans are excited about the return of basketball, and believe me, I feel the same way.

As for the game, here’s Whitney Tinjum knocking down a three off the inbounds pass.

She would score a game-high 12 points, and she just missed a double-double as she corralled 9 rebounds.

Ann Schlueter follows up with a three-pointer of her own to push the Braves’ lead to 20.

And don’t let all of the scoring fool you – the Bradley defense was awesome, holding McKendree to 27% shooting.

Finally, the Braves will score in transition, as Shareece Burrell gets the hoop and the harm. Bradley wins it by a final of 52-38.
