Women’s basketball alumni get honored and greeted at halftime with hugs from Bridgewater President David Bushman and Curt Kendall, Bridgewater’s Director of Athletics. These ladies received huge cheers from the crowd as they made a return to their old stomping grounds.

Alsberry defends the shot from Ferrum forward, number eleven, Taryn Blankenship. This season, Alsberry averaged 12.2 points, 12.3 rebounds and 1.5 blocks per game, resulting in her being awarded with first team All-ODAC honors.

Pierson attacks the rim as she misses the rebound. Bridgewater gave up 33.6 rebounds per game to opponents, which is second best in the ODAC.

Dailey brings the energy into Nininger Hall after the Eagles retain possession off the turnover. The Eagles took this spark into halftime as they held a nine point lead at the break.

Senior number 12 Alexis Edmonds and sophomore number 11 Jaiden Polston disrupt the lane of Ferrum’s Aisha Martin. Bridgewater went on a 8-0 run after going back and forth in the fourth quarter.

Sophomore Jasmine Griffin puts pressure on Martin following a bucket on the other end. Bridgewater’s tough defense was fifth in all of Division III in opponent points per game this season allowing only 47.7 points per game. The Eagles defense only allowed 32% of shots to go in the hoop this season.

As the clock goes under two minutes, junior Jay Garcia causes Allyson Cassel from Ferrum to miss her three point shot. Bridgewater’s lockdown defense was too much for the Panthers to climb back from.

Legendary head coach Stephanie Flamini laughs with friends and alumni at the post-game reception in the President’s Suite. Coach Flamini surpassed 400 wins on Feb. 18 with this victory over Ferrum adding another to her total.
