CUC Falls To Edgewood In Tough Road Test

MADISON, Wis.--  Looking to avenge a home loss early in the season, the Concordia University Chicago Women's Basketball team hit the road to take on the Edgewood College Eagles in NACC action tonight. The Cougars got off to a slow start offensively an Edgewood was able to take advantage, building up a 42-19 lead over CUC at the half. Despite outscoring the Eagles in the second half, CUC would fall by a final score of 63-45.
 
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE:

  • Jada Dixon finished with a season high seven rebounds on the night.
  • CUC had 28 points from the bench.
  • Edgewood held a 12 rebound advantage on the night and a 17-6 advantage in second chance points.
 
In the first the CUC offense started slow. Edgewood opened an 11-0 lead before CUC was able to get on the board with a Jada Dixon layup with 4:33 remaining in the quarter. The Cougars tried to get momentum going with a Bethany Hoehne three, but Edgewood was able to hold a 23-8 lead after one quarter.
 

Edgewood continued to shoot well from the floor in the second. They used an 11-2 run to build their lead to over 20 in the early goings. Dixon tried once again to get CUC going with a three with 6:29 remaining in the quarter. Unfortunately for the Cougars they were unable to get a run going and found themselves down 42-19 at the half.
