All good things must come to an end.

Ferris State University’s 10-game win­ning streak was snapped this past Saturday by Ashland University as the Bulldogs were defeated by the score of 66–56.

The Ashland University Eagles rolled into Big Rapids with a national rank­ing of fifth and an eye-popping 22–1 record with a 16–0 mark in con­fer­ence play.

Never the less, the Bulldogs fought to the end as the two teams atop the GLIAC North and South Division col­lided at Jim Wink Arena

“We came out with a lot of energy, but things were not hap­pen­ing right and we didn’t play our game,” fresh­man cen­ter Christina Branch said.

Previously the Bulldogs have been unstop­pable and took care of Lake Erie University 56–53 on Thursday, but FSU’s prob­lem was pace through­out the con­test against Ashland.

Even though the game was close through­out, the Eagles man­aged to pull away for the vic­tory at the end.

The lead­ers of the game for the Bulldogs were sopho­more guard Sarah DeShone, who net­ted 11 points, and senior for­ward Tricia Principe, who man­aged to grab 12 rebounds.

The Bulldogs came away from this game obvi­ously dis­ap­pointed, but not all hope is lost as it leads the Bulldogs to focus on cer­tain aspects of their game and where they can improve.

“We have to improve in play­ing our game, don’t let any other teams con­trol the game pace,” Branch said. “[We] just have to get into a groove and play our style.”

The Bulldogs still sit atop the GLIAC North Division even with the loss, with an 11–2 record in con­fer­ence play.

As the sea­son moves on and comes to a close, the Bulldogs have four con­tests left to try to clinch a GLIAC North cham­pi­onship, as the Bulldogs travel to Wayne State University and Findlay University this upcom­ing weekend.

“Our goal is to get back in a groove and to win the GLIAC,” Branch said.

If the ladies can get two road vic­to­ries this week­end, they will clinch the GLIAC North Division cham­pi­onship for the first time in pro­gram his­tory since the league was split into two divi­sions in 1997.
