MONTPELLIER - Bear Lake missed a game-tieing 3-pointer with 8 seconds on the clock to lose to Grace, 42-39 Thursday.

"It was a defensive battle," said Bear Lake coach Jim Mattson. "We had our chances at the end, but we came up short."

Plagued by injuries, Bear Lake was short-handed. Sophomore Kayla Wallentine stepped up though with 15 points. Heather Wallentine contributed 10.

"Kayla has been pretty consistent," Mattson said. "Heather shot the ball well for us."

Bear Lake (3-7) next travels to Preston on Saturday.
