Jenna Taylor scored 19 points and the Storm won 91-55 to improve to 16-3 overall and 8-2 in conference play. The Storm men weathered several Dubuque runs in the first half and had a 35 all tie to go into the halftime break. The Storm blew up in the second half outscoring the Spartans 40-27, with Conor Riordan scoring 19 and Adam Reiter grabbing 17 rebounds. The Storm men improve to 11-7 overall and 5-5 in American Rivers Conference play. Next up for both Storm squads is Wartburg on Wednesday.
