Both Central College Basketball Teams got wins last night to open up their seasons. The Women’s squad blew out Grinnell 75-39, led by 32 points from Claire Marburger on 10-20 shots and a perfect 12-12 from the charity stripe, Emily Dine also put in 19 points. The Lady Dutch are now 1-0 and will suit up this Friday against Bethany Lutheran in the Tulip City.

The men were in much more of a dogfight against Iowa Wesleyan, but the Iowa Conference favorites hit shots down the stretch to seal it in a 98-92 victory. The Central Men are also now 1-0 and play this Friday against North Central in Minneapolis.
