The Beavers, however, would miss their next four shot attempts down the stretch while the Coyotes made four of their final five and used a 9-0 surge to lead 24-14 heading to the second.

Sophomore Bradi Krager and freshman Adriana Howard each followed with nine points while Howard also grabbed a team-leading five boards. 

Buena Vista was held to only 28.3 percent shooting from the field overall, buried 8-of-23 from distance and converted 16-of-19 from the charity stripe.
