BEMIDJI, Minn. -- Bemidji State University's Maggie Gernbacher drained a school record nine three-pointers en route to a game-high 30 points in an 89-62 victory over visiting Jamestown College in head coach Mike Curfman's home debut. The Beavers shot a blistering 52 percent from the field while holding the Jimmies to just 36 percent shooting.

Despite Gernbacher's 30 points, the Beavers also had three more players in double digits as freshman Heidi Matzke (G, Red Lake Falls, Minn.) posted 13, Amy Lawson (So., PG, Spencer, Iowa) dropped in 11 more and sophomore Stephanie Peterson (C, Bismarck, N.D.) added her third double-double of the season with 10 points and a game-high 11 rebounds.

Jamestown College was led in scoring by Megan Clark who scored 22 points via five three-pointers. Brietta Bowerman and Lindsey each contributed 10 points for the Jimmies.

"We played well on both ends of the floor. Our defensive intensity was strong, which led us to some fast break points to pick up some baskets in transition," commented Curfman after the game.

The Beavers took a 10-point lead (41-31) into the first half on the back of a 10-2 run in the closing minutes. The run was highlighted by fastbreak buckets from Matzke and Lawson and solid rebounding from Peterson whose double-double marked the second time in as many games.

Gernbacher posted nine points, while Peterson dropped eight and grabbed seven rebounds in the half.

The Beavers broke open the game early in the second half outscoring Jamestown 28-6 during a 10-minute stretch in which Gernbacher hit three consecutive shots from beyond the arc, on her way to knocking down seven threes in the half.

BSU's lead would grow to as many as 37 points (87-50) on another three-ball by Gernbacher with 4:13 left to play in regulation.

The Beavers took home an 89-62 victory gain their second consecutive victory. The back-to-back wins marked the first time for the program since the 2003-04 squad won games on Feb. 26, 2004 and Mar. 3, 2004.

The win also moved the BSU all-time home debut record to 3-6, as Curfman is the ninth coach in the history of the program.

"If we can get that kind of balance with the good post play and point guard play along with strong finishing from our guards, it going to be a fun year," said Curfman.

Bemidji State's record moves to 2-4 on year, while JC dropped to 4-5. Tomorrow, BSU will play its second consecutive Dakota Athletic Conference opponent as they host Dakota State University. The matchup will be the first in the history of BSU women's basketball. Tip-off is slated for 4:00 p.m. in the BSU Gymnasium.
