Bethel University Athletics

Caitie Helle has been a big factor in Bethel's success all season, and she helped the Royals earn their first trip to the postseason since 2007 by leading the team over St. Catherine last Friday night. Helle had 20.5 points on 18 kills, an ace, a block, and a block assist. The next afternoon, she again led the team with 13 kills, an ace, and two block assists for 15 points, though the Royals lost 3-2 to Macalester. Helle and the Royals close out the regular season this week with matches against Saint Benedict and St. Thomas.
