MISHAWAKA– Bethel Wom­en’s Bas­ket­ball held their se­nior night Feb. 16, when they hon­ored the se­niors of the team. The bas­ket­ball team is los­ing five se­nior play­ers. Mag­gie De­boy, San­dra Carl­sten, Alba Gar­cia, Kara Sandy, and Mad­die Hess are all grad­u­at­ing this year. 

Doug Porter, Head Coach, said the team will be los­ing both ex­pe­ri­ence and steadi­ness that the se­niors bring to the pro­gram, as he ex­plained they are rarely flus­tered and show up and com­pete in each game they play. 

Porter also added what each in­di­vid­ual se­nior brought to the team:

De­boy is a good leader, strong re­bounder, and holds a steady pres­ence on the court.

Carl­sten is a strong wing and for­ward player and is a tal­ented three-point shooter.

Gar­cia is a good three-point shooter, solid player all around, and scores of­ten in the lane. 

Sandy has been out from an in­jury, and he wishes she could have been able to play and help the team out.

Hess grew up be­ing a part of the pro­gram, and she has done a great job help­ing dur­ing prac­tices and games.

Porter said, “all of them [the se­niors] are good, solid peo­ple.” He ex­plained that they have great char­ac­ter, con­tribute in many dif­fer­ent ways, and that they will all be suc­cess­ful in­di­vid­u­als af­ter grad­u­a­tion.
