Following two tough road losses to Loras on Saturday, Central’s basketball teams come home for two this week, starting with a visit from Buena Vista tonight. The Beavers’ women have dropped seven in a row, and they are tied with the Dutch at 0 – 4 in Iowa Conference play so far. They are led by Lexi Fisher and Shelby Wiederhoeft, who combine for about 1/3 of their points per game. Coach Chelsea Petersen says she’s expecting her team to put up some points against a defensively weak Beavers’ squad. Buena Vista’s men have surged in the league thus far, knocking off Dubuque on Saturday and are sitting tied atop the conference at 3 – 1. Central’s men have the last two conference athletes of the week on their side, with Nile Eckermann playing the role of “defending champion” and Colby Taylor having won it the week prior. Central and Buena Vista are set to tip-off their doubleheader inside the P.H. Kuyper Gymnasium tonight at 6:00 p.m.
