Lady Bruins reunite to celebrate program

PERU — St. Bede alumni gathered at the school Saturday night to celebrate the 30th anniversary of Lady Bruin basketball. Naturally, they celebrated by playing a game with players from the 1983-98 teams, facing off with players from the 98-99 through 2012-13 squad. The former, clad in green and the latter, in white. The game ended in a self-imposed 38-38 tie.

The teams also held three-point and free-throw shooting contests. Sarah Stariha won the free-throw contest while fellow millennial Sarah Slevin-Wien won the three-point contest. But, everyone was a winner at the end of the night, with all participants receiving an award.

Dawn (Carlson) Williams, a 1983 alumn, kicked off the event sharing some of her memories as one of St. Bede’s inaugural senior players under her father, Don Carlson, a former 15-year Lady Bruin basketball coach.
