Lady Cats End Three-Game Road Trip with Sweep

Elizabethtown, Tenn. — The Bethel Lady Wildcats capped off a perfect three-game road swing Monday night with a 77-67 victory over Milligan University inside Steve Lacy Fieldhouse. The win keeps Bethel undefeated at 7-0 on the season.

Behind another dominant scoring effort from Micah Hart, who poured in 25 points on 8-of-18 shooting and went a perfect 7-for-7 from the free throw line, the Lady Cats built an early lead and never looked back. Fellow guard Mikee Buchanan added 21 points and drained four three-pointers, while MJ Simmons contributed 11 points and seven rebounds in a balanced Bethel attack.

Bethel came out firing, hitting nearly 59 percent from the field in the first quarter and building a 24-16 lead. The Lady Cats continued their offensive rhythm in the second frame, outscoring the Buffaloes 23-14 to take a 47-30 advantage into the locker room.

Milligan (1-3) found its rhythm late, cutting into the deficit behind Lina Lyon's 18 points and Jenna Hare's 14, but Bethel's composure and free-throw shooting sealed the win. The Lady Cats converted 90.9% (10-for-11) from the line while holding Milligan to just 42.9% at the stripe.

Freshman Adalyn Koelling provided a spark off the bench with 11 points in 16 minutes, while Kylee Alexander added seven points and steady defense. Bethel's bench outscored Milligan's reserves 18-9, proving crucial in maintaining momentum.

Defensively, Bethel forced 21 turnovers and converted those into 18 points, holding the Buffaloes' offense in check for most of the night. Despite a sluggish third quarter where the Lady Cats shot just 21 percent, they closed strong—hitting 50 percent in the final frame to secure the sweep of their three-game road stretch.

Game Notes:

  • Bethel shot 44.6% from the floor and 47.4% from three-point range.
  • Points in the paint: Bethel 34, Milligan 32.
  • Fast break points: Bethel 9, Milligan 2.
  • Rebounds: Milligan 34, Bethel 32.
  • Bench scoring: Bethel 18, Milligan 9.

The Lady Cats continue to look every bit of the contender they were predicted to be, blending efficient offense, pressure defense, and balanced depth to start the season a perfect 7-0. The next contest is on November 18th at home against Fisk University.
