Women’s Basketball Coach Has His Team Rolling
(West Africa) – Belmont’s Bart Brooks averages over twenty-four wins per season and this year his Bruins have knocked off three ‘money conference’ teams and have won four straight games. Wednesday Belmont’s women’s basketball team won its rivalry game the ‘Battle of the Boulevard’ against Lipscomb.
Despite losing last year’s top two scorers to ‘money conference’ schools via the portal, this season’s team boasts of five double-digit scorers in the starting lineup. During the first four weeks of the season, Jailyn Banks twice has been named the Valley’s ‘Freshman of the Week‘ and earlier this week Kilyn McGuff was named ‘Player of the Week‘. While McGuff’s 14 rebound game Wednesday pushed her into the team lead in rebounding (7.1 per game), two other players lead the team in scoring and assists.
Those titles belong to Tessa Miller (13.7 ppg) and Tuti Jones (4.4 assists per game).

Three more road wins so far in @ValleyHoops as @BradleyUMBB @BelmontMBB & @UIC_MBB capture road wins. Looks like @DrakeBulldogsMB will do so too. #FatherHarry
Well @RacersWBB followed the men's example and swept Iowa in the @ValleyHoops race! Racers are 6-1 & if @BelmontWBB holds on to their Iowa sweep, the Bruins and Racers will be tied for first. What a trip for those two teams! #FatherHarry

Really entertaining game between @BelmontMBB & @UEAthletics_MBB. Under four minutes left in a one point game. Gabriel Pozzato back in the Aces' lineup. Rogers is playing like I've expected. Triples are dropping. It's fun and @kylejpeach bringing it on #ThePlus #FatherHarry
