The Storm are now on a two-game win streak.

Whitney Van Wyk dropped 17 points, Markayla Mahr and Morgan Terpstra grabbed six rebounds apiece and the Simpson women’s basketball team earned its second win in Iowa Conference play over Buena Vista Wednesday night.

The Storm (7-7, 2-1 IIAC) routed the Beavers (6-8, O-3 IIAC), 93-69.

Simpson jumped to an early 23-9 lead after the first 10 minutes of play, going on an 18-4 run. At the half, the Storm were out in front 46-21 and never lost its momentum during the final 20 minutes of the contest.

Van Wyk shot 5-for-11 from the field went 5-of-10 from 3-point territory. The sophomore guard also recorded a team-high six steals in the victory.

Brittany Hedrick tallied 13 points off 6-of-11 shooting while posting six assists. Taryn Barz was also in double-digits with 11 points.
