BHSU women’s basketball edges West Texas A&M

CANYON, Texas – The Rachel Erickson era of Black Hills State women’s basketball started off with a thriller, as a driving layup at the buzzer by Kalla Bertram gave Black Hills State the season opening 57-55 win over West Texas A&M on Friday afternoon in the First United Bank Center.

After a slow start by both teams the Yellow Jackets eventually took control midway through the opening period and would lead for nearly 30 minutes of the contest, and the defense held strong when they needed most as they held the Lady Buffs scoreless the final two and half minutes to secure their third consecutive season opening victory.

BLACK HILLS STATE STATISTICAL LEADERS

Haylee Weathersby: 18 points, 7-13 field goals, 4-4 free throws, 5 rebounds

Kalla Bertram: 16 points, 7-11 field goals, 9 rebounds, 3 assists

Bradie Schlabs: 10 points, 5 rebounds, 4 assists, 1 steal
