The Bridgeport girls basketball was aiming to stay unbeaten last night and found themselves in a real tussle hosting Chadron. Through three quarters of play it was just a five point game with the Bulldogs leading 42-37.
Then the fourth quarter happened.
Bridgeport outscored Chadron 30-2 over the final eight minutes with Ruthie Loomis-Goltl scoring 14 of her game high 30 points in the fourth as the Bulldogs win it 72-39.
With the win Bridgeport improved to 15-0 this season.
When I caught up with coach Dave Kuhlen yesterday morning he knew they weren’t out of the woods with being tested still this regular season.
“We’re going to be challenged strictly by the sheer volume of games we’re going to be playing. We’ve got three games this week, we’ve got three games next week and that can take a toll on any team. So we’re just going to take it one game at a time.”
Bridgeport is at Hershey on Friday before hosting Bayard on Saturday.
