Garrison Hits 1K in Win over Barons

Senior Lindsey Garrison became the 19th Bethany College women's basketball player to join the 1,000-point club as the Bison moved to 3-0 in Presidents' Athletic Conference play with the 89-55 win over Franciscan Wednesday on Joe Kurey Memorial Court inside the Hummel Field House. 

Needing 20 points to join the prestigious club, Garrison drilled a three-pointer with 3:44 remaining in the third quarter for her 22nd point of the game pushing the lead to 36 points. She finished with 24 points, three assists, two steals, and a rebound.  

Junior Kaedlee Potter was the only other Bison in double figures with 11 points and a team-high six rebounds as 13 different Bethany players found the scorebook.  

Bethany broke the game open with game up with a 14-2 run, hitting 4-of-5 from three-point range in the spurt. Defensively, the Bison forced three Franciscan turnovers, while holding the Barons to 1-of-5 shooting in the game-changing run.  

The lead continued to grow, building as much as a 46-point lead in the second half.
