STORM LAKE - Stacey Schutjer led five players in double figures as Simpson rolled to 96-78 win against Iowa Wesleyan in the final round of the Buena Vista Classic on Saturday.

For the second game in a row, Schutjer scored 18 points to lead the Storm (2-3). Amy Hamilton and Jeni Hegstrom scored 14 points each and Ali Sokol and Kate Nielsen scored 11 points a piece off the bench in Simpson's best offensive performance of the young season.
