The two sides traded leads in the first half with the Knights holding a 42-41 advantage at the break. A 5-0 run by BV (10-1 overall, 2-0 IIAC), beginning at the 11:06 mark of the second stanza, gave them a six-point lead they wouldn’t relinquish. Wartburg (6-6 overall, 1-3 IIAC) rallied back within one at 75-74 in the final four minutes but couldn’t regain the lead as a quick 7-0 stretch for the Beavers settled the affair.
Sophomore forward Natalie Tarkett added 18 points, while senior center Amanda Berner finished with 12 and nine rebounds.
BV junior guard Katie Maguire tallied 27 points to lead all scorers.
