After a tough loss in the opener of the BVU Classic on Friday night, the Buena Vista women's basketball team bounced back nicely on Saturday with a strong 101-62 win over Macalester.

Senior Shelby Wiederhoeft turned in 19 points, on 8-of-11 shooting, to lead four Beavers in double figures, while also grabbing seven rebounds and dishing out four assists.  Junior Jasmyn Flynn-Graves came off the bench and followed with 16 points and five boards, while Sidney Beckman chipped in with 14 points, including a team-leading four three-point baskets.

For the second night in a row, senior Becca Pennington flirted with a triple-double, as she turned in 12 points, nine rebounds and six assists, while playing only 20 minutes.  Sophomore Jessica Jager just missed out on scoring in double figures, adding a career-high nine points and five rebounds off the bench.

A total of 12 Beavers scored in the contest, as BVU went 35-of-76 (46.1 percent) from the field, while making 20-of-24 attempts at the free-throw line.

It was virtually all BVU from the opening tip, as the Beavers jumped out to a quick 16-3 lead with just over five minutes gone by.  The Scots were still in striking distance at 27-14 with under 10 minutes left in the first half before BVU took a 17-point cushion (50-33) into halftime.

Wiederhoeft sank a pair of free-throws early in the second half to push the advantage to 20 before Beckman drilled one of her long range shots to make it 63-40 with 15:30 to play.

Minutes later Beckman connected again from downtown to extend the margin to 25, and the Scots (2-4) were unable to get any closer the rest of the way.

Lauren Clamage led all scores with 25 points for Macalester and was also selected to the All-Tournament Team.

Pennington and Fisher were each named to the All-Tournament Team for the Beavers, as Fisher took home MVP honors.

Buena Vista improves to 4-3 on the year and will be back in action again on Tuesday night, December 2, for a non-conference road contest at Martin Luther College starting at 5:30pm.  BVU defeated the Knights in the season-opener, 105-66.
