Seven games into the conference schedule, and both of Central’s basketball teams are hoping to improve on their current league records as the push towards the league tournament begins. The Dutch are up in Storm Lake this afternoon for a doubleheader against Buena Vista. The Beavers swept Central last Wednesday in two very close games; the women fell 64 – 61 and are 0 – 7 in the conference right now. Even with the injuries, Coach Chelsea Petersen wants her leader and one of the few seniors she has, Kenzie Vander Molen, to help step things up on the court. The Beaver men edged the Dutch, 69 – 67, and are sitting in a tie for first place with Coe at 6 – 1 in the IIAC. Today’s doubleheader can be heard live on 92.1 KRLS and KNIAKRLS.com with Cory Houser and Jacob Dreyer providing the play-by-play. Pre-game coverage begins at 3:45 p.m. with the women’s game scheduled to tip-off at 4:00. Due to the threat of severe weather, stay tuned to KNIA/KRLS for any updates on changes in time or cancellations for today’s games.
