[Women's Basketball] Lady Pilots Use Second Half Swarm to Pound Goshen Waiting several minutes into the game to "show up" is not typically the recipe for success but once again the Bethel College Lady Pilots delayed their mental arrival Tuesday night before revving up the engine in the second half to trounce host Goshen College 75-40 at Gunden Gymnasium. The first 12 minutes of the game were hideous moments for BC, as they trailed 19-12, showing no immediate signs of life. A media timeout at the 7:58 mark would've been an excellent opportunity for Coach Jody Martinez to blow a gasket, but instead it was the Lady Pilots who got fired up and finished the half on a 23-8 run and held the lead at the intermission 35-27, despite shooting a morbid 11 for 45 from the floor (24%).

[Women's Basketball] Dominant First Half Carries Lady Pilots Over Spring Arbor It was a Jekyll and Hyde performance for the Lady Pilots Saturday as they visited Spring Arbor University in a key Mid-Central College Conference game. Bethel, coming off a lop-sided pounding of Huntington University Wednesday, looked to stay within reach of conference leader Indiana Wesleyan as the MCC's second round began. BC was beautiful in the first half, shooting 53% from the field, 43% from the three point line and 83% from the FT line – leading to a comfortable 43-25 cushion over the Cougars. Bethel junior forward Kristen Hicks led the way in the opening half, scoring 12 points on five of eight shooting. [Men's Basketball] Pilots upset No. 19 Huntington The Bethel College Pilots were back on the road once again Tuesday night, traveling to Huntington University to meet the Foresters (No. 19 NAIA D-II) in another key MCC battle.

Bethel jumped out to a 12-2 lead early in the game and led 23-6 with just eight minutes remaining in the half before Huntington went on a 15-6 run of their own to cut the BC lead to just six points, 27-21. However, Bethel scored the final five points of the half and led 32-21 at the break. Laura Johnson led the way for BC in the opening half with 10 points and the Lady Pilots held the Foresters to just 5 of 31 (16%) from the floor in the half. [Women's Basketball] Jody Martinez - More Than a Coach by Maggie CaldwellJody Martinez is a man of many titles. He is the Bethel women's basketball coach and athletic director. He is the chairman of elders at Grace Church and school. And most importantly, he is a husband to Sonya and a father to Hannah and Josalyn. The most notable aspect of Martinez's life is not number of duties, but the Christ-like way he manages them. Hectic doesn't begin to describe his schedule. On a typical day, he wakes at 5:30 a.m. and has what he calls "spiritual breakfast," immersing himself in scripture. Then, he is off to an elder meeting at 6:30, followed by a 9 a.m. meeting to count up and deposit concession revenue. He monitors the athletic department's budget report daily; crunching numbers to keep the BC athletic department financially sound. From 9:30 to noon, he catches up on paperwork, emails, voicemail, makes a practice plan, or facilitates one-on-one drill work with his athletes. But none of this is done without interruption. [Men's Indoor Track & Field] Track Teams Start Season at Grand Valley State Meet The Bethel College Track and Field teams started off their Indoor season at Grand Valley State University this week end.

[Women's Basketball] Lady Pilots Fall at Home to Indiana Wesleyan The NAIA's Game of the Week did not live up to its billing as No.1 IWU soundly defeated No. 8 Bethel 66-46 Saturday at the Wiekamp Center. Bethel held an early lead 4-0 but 19% shooting from the floor and 12 turnovers in the first half were too much to overcome as the Lady Pilots trailed by 12 at the half, 29-17. [Men's Basketball] Bethel knocks off No. 14 IWU on the road Last second heroics by Landon Booker and Matt Schauss would help give Bethel a great road win over No. 14 ranked (NAIA D-II) Indiana Wesleyan University 83-80 in Marion, Ind. [Women's Basketball] Lifeless Lady Pilots Lose to Grace In matchup featuring two top 20 teams in the NAIA DII, the No.8 Bethel College Lady Pilots lost to the No. 16 Grace College Lancers 67-61 Tuesday night at the Wiekamp Center. Grace jumped out to an 11 point lead in the first half and led by seven, 30-23 at the intermission. Bethel's inability to rebound or take care of the ball were costly but the biggest factor was the fact that nearly hustle/effort play went to the Lancers, who entered the night on a 15 year and 30 game losing streak to BC. [Men's Basketball] No. 5 Grace Overpower Pilots The Bethel College Pilots and the Grace College Lancers renewed their long-standing rivalry on Tuesday night at the Wiekamp Athletic Center.

[Women's Basketball] Laura Johnson Named MCC Player of the Week The Mid-Central College Conference announced its basketball players of the week on Monday and Bethel's Laura Johnson was named the winner on the women's side. [Women's Basketball] Better Late Than Never as Lady Pilots Continue Winning Ways Tip-off time was supposed to be at 1:00 pm Saturday in a big showdown of highly ranked MCC foes Bethel and Marian… apparently the Lady Pilots didn't get the memo… It was at the 15:13 mark of the first half when the 10th ranked Lady Pilots decided to play ball, surging back quickly on a 15-4 run of their own and ultimately knotting the game at 28-28 on a Kristen Hicks layup at the 4:26 mark and then taking a 40-38 lead into the halftime break. After showing no signs of life early on, Bethel was sparked by the scoring of juniors Laura Johnson and Hicks, who combined for 26 of the BC first half points. [Bethel] Bethel Gets Solid Road Win at Marian [Women's Basketball] Defense Carries Lady Pilots in Road Win Over Mount Vernon Nazarene Coming off consecutive losses and a two week break, the Bethel College Lady Pilots traveled to Mount Vernon, Ohio Tuesday and came away with a hard fought Mid-Central College Conference victory, 56-48.

[Women's Basketball] Lady Pilots Bounce Saint Francis in Overtime Thriller The Bethel College Lady Pilots traveled to the University of Saint Francis Thursday night, taking the lead early, trailing late and ultimately pulling out a gutsy 86-79 overtime win. It appeared as if Bethel forgot there was a game being played as USF jumped out to an immediate 5-0 lead when the Lady Pilots turned the ball over on their first three possessions. After waking from their opening daze, Bethel responded with a 14-0 run of their own and held the lead for the remainder of the half, sparked by the inside play of junior Baysia Cox and senior Sarah Clark who combined for 12 huge first half points in the paint. Bethel led at the break 36-32, despite coughing the ball up 15 times before the timely break. [Men's Basketball] Benner and Miller pace Pilots over MVNU [Women's Basketball] Early Lump of Coal as Lady Pilots Fall at Home Leading by as many as 15 points in the game and still by seven with just 1:28 left in the game, the Lady Pilots failed to finish, falling 76-75 to IU Northwest.

The score was knotted in the opening minutes of the game at 11-11 before the Saints went on an 18-6 run to open up the game with a lead that grew to 16 points at the half, 37-21.

After all, general admission prices were supposed to be for a college basketball game, not the roller coaster of a battle that took place. Talk about a game of spurts… Bethel jumped out early to an 11-4 lead, followed by an amazing 27-5 run by Taylor to give the Trojans their biggest lead of the game 31-16 with just over eight minutes remaining in the opening half. After a gentle and soft spoken timeout talk by Bethel Coach Jody Martinez, it was Bethel's turn… and a 14-3 streak to cut the lead to four points with 30 seconds remaining before halftime – sparked by the play of the defensive chaos forced by Ashlee Ort, Alyssa Toupin, Alyshia Harvey and Chelsea Ward.
