Two teams that have gained momentum in recent action will meet inside Friedrich Arena on Thursday. Concordia will attempt to extend its series win streak versus Doane and continue the growth its shown over the past two weeks.
The calling card for Concordia Women's Basketball has been its defensive ferocity. The Bulldogs limited Hastings to 32.7 percent shooting and forced 22 turnovers in a 70-57 road win over the Broncos on Saturday (Dec. 10).
Concordia knocked in 21 treys while Mount Marty netted only one on Wednesday (Dec. 7). The result was a 91-48 blowout for the Bulldogs, who got at least one triple from eight different players while moving to 5-4 overall.
Last week's run included a win at No. 25 Morningside as the Bulldogs continue to grow in the early season. Concordia (4-4, 2-4 GPAC) will look for continued progress as it hosts Mount Marty and travels to Hastings this week.
For roughly 25 minutes, Concordia looked like it was primed for an upset of No. 16 Northwestern. However, the Bulldogs went ice cold and the Red Raiders rattled off a 20-0 run and emerged from Friedrich Arena with the 72-56 win.
The offensive exploits of Kendal Brigham and Sadie Powell, as well as the team's overall defensive tenacity, paved the way for a 71-64 win at No. 25 Morningside on Wednesday (Nov. 30). Concordia improved to 4-3 overall.
Following a refresher over Thanksgiving weekend, the Bulldogs will be back to the GPAC grind this week. Concordia is readying to take on No. 12 Morningside and No. 25 Northwestern. The Bulldogs stand at 3-3 overall (1-3 GPAC).
The pesky press of the Bulldogs got them back within eight in the fourth quarter, but it wasn't enough to overcome cold shooting on Tuesday (Nov. 22). Hailey Kleinschmit led the way in what amounted to a 66-49 loss to Jamestown.
In their only outing of Thanksgiving week, the Bulldogs will host Jamestown on Tuesday. Concordia is coming off a 1-1 week that included a home win over Midland and a road loss to No. 13 Dordt.
This Concordia team is still working towards turning the corner as it continues to grow. On Saturday (Nov. 19), the Bulldogs could not overcome 22 turnovers as they fell at No. 13 Dordt, 76-65.
