COUNCIL BLUFFS, IA

Iowa Western women's basketball coach Lindsey Vande Hoef said her players often say she's never satisfied. But Wednesday was an exception.

The Reivers used strong defense and offensive contributions from every player in a 96-34 win over Marshalltown Community College at Reiver Arena.

"I am very very happy with that game," Vande Hoef said. "That was just outstanding."

Jaiden Morris led Iowa Western with 23 points, going 4-for-6 from the three-point line. Solape Amusan hit three 3s in scoring 17 points off the bench. Vande Hoef said every player that suited up for the Reivers scored. That included 40 bench points.

"When you have a game where everyone contributes, that balance and opportunity to take advantage of all of the threats on your team is awesome to see," the coach said. "It's so refreshing."

Vande Hoef said she hopes the performance will be a catalyst as the Reivers travel to take on a tough Western Nebraska Community College team on Saturday. Tip-off is at 3 p.m. (2 p.m. Mountain time).
