The win gives Concordia 21 for the season and upped their overall record to 21-3. CC is 15-2 in the league and remains one game ahead of St. Mary's in the conference standings.

The Cobbers built the lead to as many as 21 points in the second quarter and went into the halftime break with a 43-25 lead.

The Cobbers also came away with their second highest free throw percentage of the season. CC was 16-for-19 (84.2%) from the foul line.
MIAC Offensive Player of the Week Maya Metcalf added another 20-point performance to her resume. Metcalf was 10-for-14 from the field, 3-for-4 from 3-point range and finished with a game-high 25 points.
Genevieve Gruba was the only other Concordia player in double figures for scoring. She was a perfect 9-for-9 from the free throw line and finished with 11 points.
Molly Musland posted a team-high four rebounds and added seven points, while Taylor Safranski came away with nine points and six assists. It Safranski's 12th game of the season where he has recorded at least five assists.
