CAMPBELLSVILLE, Ky. — The Bryan College women's basketball season came to a close Friday evening as the Lions were defeated 91-49 by Campbellsville University in the first round of the NAIA National Tournament. Bryan finishes the year with a 21-7 record.

Campbellsville opened the contest on a dominant 32-7 first quarter run that never let Bryan find its footing. The Lions were held scoreless for the game's first several possessions as the Tigers jumped out to a 14-0 lead behind sharp early shooting from Dea Bradley and Hallie Allen. Bryan managed just seven first-quarter points, all coming in the final few minutes of the period.

The deficit only grew from there. Campbellsville pushed its advantage as high as 50 points in the fourth quarter, led by a balanced offensive attack that finished the night at 50.8% from the field and a sizzling 44% from three-point range. Eleven different Tigers scored on the evening.

Bradley and Whitney Hay each led Campbellsville with 15 points, with Hay converting 7-of-8 free throws. Paige Serafini added 15 off the bench — shooting 6-of-7 from the floor — in a standout reserve performance that highlighted the Tigers' depth. Campbellsville's bench outscored Bryan's 38-17.

For Bryan, Kaylynn Walls led the Lions with 10 points, while Molly Brown added seven. The Lions struggled to generate consistent offense against the Tigers' defense, shooting just 33.3% from the field and 12.5% from beyond the arc. Bryan also committed 20 turnovers, which Campbellsville converted into 23 points.

Despite the lopsided final score, Bryan showed some fight in the second half. The Lions outscored the Tigers 18-20 in the fourth quarter and got late buckets from Alivia Hall, Brooklyn Stinnett, and Ruby Cox as reserves saw extended minutes. A three-pointer from Stinnett with just over a minute remaining briefly sparked life in the Bryan bench.

Friday's result does little to diminish what was an impressive 2025-26 campaign for Bryan. The Lions won 21 games, earned a national tournament bid, and proved themselves capable of competing at the highest level of NAIA basketball.
