Combined with the 58-57 Valentine’s Day upset of South­western in Hillsboro, the rivalry win evened up the team’s conference record.Bethel

After Tabor took a 14-6 lead 6:09 into the first half, Bethel rallied to take a 22-20 advantage. A field goal by Kyle Kroeker knotted it 4:38 before the half expired.

TCwbRothP2146194.jpg TCwbRothP2146194.jpg College women’s basketball team fell to Bethel by a 68-62 margin Saturday.

The loss moved the Bluejays into a third-place tie with hard-charging McPherson in the conference standings with one week left of regular-season games. It also took some of the luster off of Thursday’s sparkling 68-60 win over second-place South­western. Brittany Roth goes up for a shot and gets mugged by Jenna Wilson Thursday night in Hillsboro. Roth collected five rebounds and scored six of eight points at the foul line as Tabor evened out the season series against Southwestern.
