After starting the year off rocky the BCU women's basketball team looked to increase there winning to 4 games as they hosted Dordt the number 25 team in the nation, but the Chargers wanted to make a statement and let everyone know the season has now just started.

Men's BBall

Chargers stay on fire after striking the defenders

The Chargers men’s basketball added another win to there winning streaking as the have 11 games in a row as they defeated the Dordt Defenders 84-73 at the Newman Flanagan Center. The chargers were lead by Brenton Brown and Chase Vander Feen who each had 19 points apiece. The Chargers were on a early run in the first half as the led by 20 points in the early going, but the Defenders fought back to cut the deficit down to 8. But sophomore Jake Shipley was a big spark off the bench playing great defense and adding 13 points on the other end of the court. The chargers are now 5-0 in conference play and look to continue that as the go on the road Saturday to play against Hastings currently 1-4 in conference play. The Chargers are currently 4th in the nation.

Brenton Brown a junior from Stamford, Connecticut has been a great addition to the Chargers this year not just on the offensive end but as well on Defense. After the game against the Defenders I talked to Brown about the teams success. “Its been a great so far, but its only the beginning we cant get to excited yet because we still have a lot of games to play this season. I just feel we haven’t played the perfect game yet, and when we do play that game you will see how dangerous are team can be not just in the conference but out conference as well.”
