Bethany Rexroth's 27 points and 14 rebounds led the Pioneers in an 85-63 victory over Missouri Valley on Saturday. The senior has been on fire lately as she scored a career-high 32 points on Thursday, giving her an average of 29.5 on 73% shooting and 11-11 free throws for the week.

The double digit lead was maintained for most of the second half, and MNU cruised to victory while shooting 53% from the floor and holding MVC to 37%.
"We're hitting our stride," said Coach Olin. "The addition of point guard Beth Keeley at semester has us flowing a lot better and we're starting to get a good offensive rhythm."
