INDIANOLA, Iowa (Feb. 8, 2023) - Jenna Hallock came off the bench and scored a career-high 10 points with Lindsey Anhalt and McKenna Cone also reaching double figures, but it was Simpson College pulling away for a 98-71 victory over the Buena Vista women's basketball team on Wednesday night.

Hallock made 4-of-5 shots from the field as well as both free-throw attempts to reach double digits for the first time in her collegiate career.  Her previous career-best was six points which was last reached against Wartburg on January 14. Anhalt led the Beavers with 15 points on 7-of-10 shooting while also hauling in seven rebounds. Cone followed with 13 points, including a pair of three-point baskets. Addison Weber nailed a season-best three shots from long distance and just missed out on double figures with nine points off the bench. Danika Demers made two three-point buckets of her own and finished with six points, but dished out a game-high six assists and grabbed nine boards. She now has 95 assists on the year which moves her past Becca Pennington (2015-16) for 12th on the program's single-season list and is six away from a spot in the top-10.

BVU finished the game shooting 43 percent from the field and made a season-high nine three-point shots but was hindered by 28 turnovers. Simpson turned it over only eight times, and the Storm held a wide margin in points off turnovers at 32-11.

The Beavers trailed 21-19 after the first quarter before Simpson began pulling away in the second to build an 11-point margin (51-40) at the half. Cone made one of her two three-point treys to begin the second half and cut the deficit to eight but the Storm made three straight long range buckets to make it a 15-point cushion at 60-45 with 8:00 remaining in the third quarter.  Both teams then went scoreless over the next two minutes before a layup from Anhalt kept BVU within striking distance. The Beavers, however, then went the next four minutes without scoring while Simpson opened up a 72-47 cushion. The Storm led 74-54 at the end of the third and by as many as 32 in the fourth.

Cassie Nash put in a game-high 25 points to lead Simpson (12-10, 7-6 A-R-C) while also adding five assists and five steals. Anna Wanek connected on four of the team's 11 made three-point baskets and followed with 18 points.

Buena Vista is now 6-16 overall (1-13 A-R-C) and will play its final road contest of the year on Saturday, Feb. 11, at Wartburg College. Tip-off inside of Levick Arena is at 2 p.m.
