The Bob Jones University women's basketball team fell in a 66-61 result on the road to Clinton College Tuesday night. 

As today's game got underway in Rock Hill, South Carolina, Imani Pouncey got the Bruins on the board first with an early layup. The Bruins went up 7-0 after Kayley Trump drained a shot from outside the arc and Pouncey hit another layup. With just under five minutes left in the opening quarter, Faith Hayward's jumper put the Bruins ahead 14-9. At the end of quarter, the Bruins led 23-15

A layup by Keely Price started the scoring in the second quarter to give Bob Jones a double digit lead. The Golden Bears worked to cut down the deficit and got within two points as the quarter continued. At halftime, the Bruins went back to their bench on top 35-30. 

After the break and three minutes into the third frame, Clinton College knotted the score 37-37. It remained a back-and-forth effort throughout the rest of the quarter and after 30 minutes of play, the Clinton College took the 51-49 advantage. 

Early in the final ten minutes, the Golden Bears moved to a 57-51 lead. The Bruins struggled to make baskets in the final quarter as Clinton held their advantage. With under a minute left on the clock, the Bruins trailed by just two points. But at the final buzzer, it was Clinton College who finished the game on top 66-61. 

"We came out and competed tonight," said Head Coach Mike LeViere. "Their pressure made it hard for us to execute, but we adjusted and overall played well. The one area we got beat in was rebounding. Although we don't know the stats, I'm sure they scored 20+ points off offensive rebounds. Clinton is a team that plays extremely hard and there were times we were out hustled, but overall we played a good game and we'll be better for it."

With tonight's result, the Bruins now sit at 1-3 on the season. Up next the team will travel to Brevard, North Carolina for a Friday night contest against Brevard College before taking on Paine College in Augusta, Georgia on Saturday.
