The Simpson Storm men’s and women’s basketball teams battle the Beavers of Buena Vista this evening in American Rivers Conference play, their first games of 2023. The Storm men are battling for a top spot in the conference, sitting just a game back in the conference standings at 2-1, while BV is off to a rough start at 1-3. The Storm women have work to do to get out of the basement of the conference standings, beginning the season 0-3, but will have a chance to do so against a BV team that they haven’t dropped a game against since 2018. The women’s contest begins at 5:30pm, with the men to follow.
