All-Time Series: Simpson leads (48-31)

Last Time Out
Buena Vista fell behind early to Nebraska Wesleyan on Monday night, being down four entering the second quarter. They responded, however, by outscoring the Prairie Wolves 27 to 12 in second quarter to take a 38-28 lead into the half. BVU went on to open up a 28-point second half lead  before winning 83-67.

The Storm have dropped their last three games, including an 18-point loss to the conference's leader, Wartburg College, on Saturday. Noreen Morrow had a double-double, leading the Storm with 16 points and 13 rebounds. Megan Lankford was perfect shooting from the field, scoring 10 points and adding four assists to her total.

Scouting Simpson
Noreen Morrow is leading the Storm in scoring, rebounds, and field goal percentage. She is averaging 16.3ppg, 8.8 rebounds per game, while shooting 54% from the field. The Storm are averaging 64.8 points per game and giving up an average 69.2 points.

BVU Game Notes

  • BVU is going after its first season sweep of the Storm since 2004-05.
  • The Beavers are going after their third straight win over Simpson.  They haven't achieved that feat since taking four straight games from 2002-03 thru 2004-05.
  • Jasmine Demers is coming off her second career 20-point game on Monday against Nebraska Wesleyan.  She's averaging 20.0ppg over the last two outings.
  • A BVU win tonight, coupled with a Central loss at Nebraska Wesleyan, would clinch a spot into the IIAC Tournament for the Beavers.
