Early this season, Catherine Dunn struggled to score more than 10 points.

She did it just twice in her first eight games. In the 13 games since, she’s finished in single digits on two occasions while setting a new career high and reaching a scoring milestone.

Dunn, a 2015 Jay County High School graduate, reached 1,000 career points for the Brescia University women’s basketball team on Saturday in its 75-67 win over Ohio Christian University.

The Bearcat senior scored 16 points on 3-of-11 shooting while going 10-for-12 from the free-throw line to finish second on the team in scoring. Dunn reached the millennium mark from the stripe, a place from which she is shooting 80 percent for the season.

The former Patriot scored 14 points on Jan. 24 as the Bearcats beat IU East 83-70, and chipped in 10 points Tuesday in a 76-60 setback to Asbury.

Dunn leads the Bearcats (8-15, 3-9 River States Conference) with 12.7 points per game. She averages 17.6 points in her last nine contests, including her career-best 27 points from Jan. 17. She is 32-of-76 from beyond the 3-point line, and her 42.1 shooting percentage from long range ranks 23rd in NAIA Division II.
