Hall of Athletic Honor
Bengel left her mark on the Gettysburg women’s basketball program as the most prolific scorer in program history. A four-time all-conference performer, she earned a nod to the first team three times and became the first Bullet to be named CC Player of the Year in 2006. She twice garnered all-region honors, including as a first-team selection as a senior, when she also claimed All-America recognition. She amassed a program-record 1,701 points over her 103 career games for a program-best scoring average of 16.5 points per game. She is one of just five players in conference history with 1,700 or more points and one of just three with more than 1,700 points and 900 rebounds. Bengel also graduated as the program record holder with 928 boards, adding 40 double-doubles in her tenure. She poured in 20 or more points in a game 36 times over her career, including a run of four straight as a junior. She remains the record holder with 434 made free throws and 570 free-throw attempts.
