She went 9-for-15 from the floor and finished with 23 points against the Mammoths. Anderson also grabbed 13 rebounds which included three offensive boards.
Anderson finished off the classic by scoring eight points and recording six rebounds in Concordia's blowout win over Salve Regina (R.I.).
For the season, Anderson is averaging 13.1 points per game and a team-high 9.6 rebounds per contest. She is currently second in the MIAC in total rebounds (86) and third in rpg. Anderson is also third in the conference in field goal percentage (49.5%).
