Zach Grapentine also scored in double figures for the Broncs with 13 points.
Newell struggled to get its shots down. The Irrigators hit 34 percent (16-of-47) from the field; including a 0-for-10 performance from 3-point range.
"We didn't shoot well; a lot of teams are playing zones and allowing us to shoot," Newell head coach Scott Wince said.
"Until we learn how to shoot the basketball better, people are not going to come out and guard us."
Sterling Boylan paced the Irrigators with 13 points. Patrick Gatzke netted nine points and Tyler Mutchler added eight.
"They (Belle Fourche) were real smooth tonight, and they just seem to get better as the season goes along," Wince said.
Belle Fourche beat Newell 52-47 on Dec. 18.
