The University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's basketball team remained unbeaten for the 2015-16 season Tuesday night, defeating Illinois Wesleyan 96-79 in a non-conference affair at Kachel Gymnasium.

The Warhawks shot a sizzling 58.2 percent for the game, the ninth-best mark in program history and best shooting performance since Feb. 20, 2010, when the team shot 60 percent in a victory over UW-Superior.

Sophomore guard Brooke Trewyn posted a career high 25 points on 7-of-10 shooting and 9-of-10 at the free throw line. She also added a game-high seven rebounds and four assists.

Senior guard Jaya Perkins tallied 14 points and four assists, while sophomore forward Andrea Meinert collected 13 points and three steals off the bench. Senior guard Abbie Reeves added 12 points.

UW-Whitewater made 25-of-29 free throws for the contest and led 53-29 at the half after shooting 63.6 percent in the period. The team also forced 24 turnovers by the Titans (2-1).

The Warhawks ended the first quarter on an 11-4 run over the final 3:26 of the period to take a 26-19 lead at the first break.

UW-Whitewater continued its momentum into the second, starting the quarter on an 11-0 run, highlighted by five points from Trewyn, to lead 37-19 at the 6:32 mark. The team expanded its advantage to 25 with 2:42 on the clock on a jumper by Perkins.

An 8-2 run to start the third period gave the Warhawks their largest lead of the game to that point at 61-31 with 8:13 left in the quarter. A 3-pointer by junior guard Andrea Olsen, who finished with eight points and four assists, made it 70-39 midway through the period.

Illinois Wesleyan made a run to reduce its deficit to 22 by the end of the quarter, but UW-Whitewater never allowed the Titans to get closer than 17 the rest of the way.

The Warhawks finished with double-digit advantages in points off turnovers (32-14), points in the paint (42-30) and bench points (39-25).
