STORM LAKE, Iowa (Dec. 19, 2025) - The Buena Vista men's basketball team got another balanced and efficient shooting night, surpassed 90 points for the second straight game, and rolled to a 94-70 non-conference home win over Lakeland University (2-8) on Friday night inside of Siebens Fieldhouse.

Sophomore Jayden Brink was 4-of-7 from downtown and finished with a game-high 22 points and five assists. Fellow sophomore Adam Bryte continues his hot outside shooting by knocking down 3-of-5 from behind the arc and finishing with 13 points and five boards. He's now 9-for-19 over the last two games. Junior Carter Sievers was 6-of-11 from the field overall and scored 14 points despite battling foul trouble in the first half.

Junior Kyle Sternberg had himself a strong all-around game by scoring 11 points, grabbing eight rebounds, dishing out a pair of assists and blocking two shots. Sophomore Jaden Jones came off the bench and chipped in with seven points and four assists with senior Ned Hayes also scoring seven off the bench.

Buena Vista trailed briefly at 3-2 in the opening minute, but then it was essentially all Beavers from there. Brink buried one of his four three-point buckets that helped spark a 13-2 run and broke open an 11-10 game. Later in the half, it was another 10-0 surge that pushed the lead up to 23 with 4:27 left in the half. The largest advantage of the half was 46-21 at the 2:22 mark, and BVU took a 50-26 lead into the locker room. It's the first time reaching 50 points in a first half since Jan. 15 of last season against Simpson when it put up 57.

After making 6-of-11 from long range in the first half, the Beavers cooled off a bit from downtown in the second by making only 4-of-15, but was still able to shoot over 48 percent in the half and maintain the lead throughout. The largest lead was after a Sievers layup with 12:33 to go that made it 71-41 but the Muskies were unable to get any closer than 22.

Defensively, the Beavers held the rebounding edge at 48-33 with 13 offensive boards and 18 second chance points. Both teams handled the ball well with BVU at 13 turnovers and Lakeland only 12.

Buena Vista improves to 7-3 on the year and will now be off for the holiday break. It will resume its schedule on Monday, Dec. 29, with a non-conference home game against Howard Payne University (10-3). Tip-off is at 4 p.m.
