Dunn hits double figures twice

Catherine Dunn scored in double figures four times as a freshman.

She’s eclipsed that total 13 games into her sophomore season.

Dunn, a 2015 Jay County High School graduate, had back-to-back games with 14 or more points for the Brescia University women’s basketball team in a pair of losses recently.

The sophomore was 6-for-8 from the field, including making one of her two 3-point attempts, and drained both of her free throws to lead the Bearcats in scoring with 15 points in a 97-65 loss to Asbury on Dec. 8. She also grabbed two defensive rebounds, had two steals and a block.

Dunn then totaled 14 points, five rebounds, one assist and one steal in a 77-65 loss Saturday to Alice Lloyd. She added six points and a team-high five rebounds as the Bearcats (1-13) lost to Pikeville on Sunday, 110-33.

The former Patriot is averaging 9.9 points per game for Brescia, which has lost a dozen straight games.

The junior made two of his nine 3-pointers and all four of his free throws to finish with 10 points as the Oilers (5-3, 2-2 Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference) lost to Lake Superior State 90-85 on Saturday. Kahlig also nabbed three rebounds and had a steal.
