STORM LAKE, Iowa (January 15, 2020) - The Buena Vista women's basketball team hosted a Simpson team on Wednesday night that came in riding a seven-game overall win streak, and the Beavers couldn't quite slow down the Storm enough, as they fell inside of Siebens Fieldhouse, 83-60.
Senior
Destiny Einerwold registered another double-digit scoring game with 15 points and grabbed eight rebounds while sophomore
Nicole Lange chimed in with 11 points.Â
Jennifer Schneider added nine points and eight rebounds with

Simpson (12-3, 4-2 A-R-C) came out and shot nearly 58 percent from the field in the opening quarter and led by 13 points heading to the second. The Beavers were 0-of-7 from downtown in the opening period and were held to just 3-of-14 shooting from the field in the second and trailed 45-25 at the break. The Storm made nine field goals in the third quarater, including three from downtown to open up their largest lead of the night, 73-39.
BVU had its strongest shooting quarter of the night in the fourth, making 8-of-14 shot attempts and all four free-throw attempts, while outscoring the Storm, 21-10, but the surge was too-little-too-late.
