2013 Outlook

The Bullets are coming off of a 12-13 record last season and will look to their strong junior class to lead them to more victories this season. Key juniors include forward Caroline Murphy who averaged 8.1 points, 5.0 rebounds, and 1.9 assists per game. The trio of junior guards who made an impact last season include Alyssa Isler, Katie Early, and Cori Younghans. In addition to these three guards, Gettysburg’s remaining junior veteran is guard Rianna Doane. Doane will be looking to return to her freshman form after spending the majority of last season recovering from a knee injury.

 

 

The Henry T. Bream Physical Education Building was completed in January, 1962. Named in honor of former coach and administrator Hen Bream '24, the 3,000-seat gym is the main stage for the Bullets basketball, volleyball, and wrestling teams. In 2009-10, the gym received several major upgrades including a new floor, bleachers, lights, and sound system.
