Jan. 22 – BETHANY, W.Va. – The Bethany College women's basketball team (4-12, 3-6 PAC) suffered a 112-34 defeat at the hands of #5 Thomas More College on Wednesday evening.

The second half was more of the same, as the Saints outscored the Bison 54-17, en route to a 112-34 victory.

Leading the charge for the Bison were R.E.L. Neal (Detroit, Mich./Melvindale) and Taylor Verrico (Monaca, Pa./Quigley). Neal scored a career-high nine points and added one steal, while Verrico chipped in seven points, two rebounds, and one assist.
