A beastly 53-31 advantage on the boards characterized the night for red hot Concordia, which cruised to an 87-58 victory over College of Saint Mary on Wednesday (Jan. 12). The Bulldogs pushed their GPAC win streak to seven.
An impressive performance in last week's win over Dakota Wesleyan leads No. 22 Concordia into matchups this week with College of Saint Mary and Jamestown. The Bulldogs (11-6, 8-3 GPAC) have won six-straight GPAC outings.
This may have been as complete of a performance as 22nd-ranked Concordia has put together this season. Mackenzie Toomey posted a career high 19 points and helped spur a 17-0 run that carried the Bulldogs to a 90-58 win over DWU.
Taysha Rushton returned to the lineup on Wednesday (Jan. 5) and rattled off 27 points as the 22nd-ranked Bulldogs won at Mount Marty, 83-58. Concordia (10-6, 7-3 GPAC) has won five-straight within league play.
It was a close call, but the Bulldogs pulled out an OT win over Doane on New Year's Day to move their GPAC win streak to four. Concordia now looks forward to playing at Mount Marty on Wednesday and hosting Dakota Wesleyan on Saturday.
No. 23 Concordia had its hands full on New Year's Day as Doane played the host into overtime. Ultimately, a career day from Sadie Powell helped the Bulldogs survive the scare and win, 76-70, pushing their league record to 6-3.
The first action since the Hoop N Surf Classic in Hawaii will take place on New Year's Day as the 22nd-ranked Bulldogs host Doane. Concordia will play at home for the first time since Dec. 8.
For a second day in a row at the Hoop N Surf Classic, the 22nd-ranked Bulldogs tested their mettle against one of the NAIA's highest rated teams. Concordia relinquished a third quarter lead in an 84-67 loss to No. 3 Thomas More.
Led by the exploits of Kayla Luebbe and Sadie Powell, the 22nd-ranked Bulldogs pushed No. 1 Campbellsville in a four-quarter tussle. Ultimately, the Tiger zone defense made the difference in a 64-57 win for Campbellsville on Saturday (Dec. 18).
Following practice at the Tyson Events Center on Sunday (March 10), senior Quinn Wragge reflected back on her career as a Bulldog. Says Wragge, "Everything is a lot bigger than basketball. It’s been everything that I wanted."
She's been referred to as 'Amazing Grace' for a reason. The former Lincoln East star has fit in perfectly with a Concordia women's basketball program that again has championship aspirations in 2018-19.
She's steady and consistent, just like the Concordia women's basketball program. As the lone senior on the varsity roster, Quinn Wragge takes on the responsibility of helping the Bulldogs "focus and finish."
Following a 2017-18 season in which the Bulldog women's basketball program equaled a school record with 36 wins, Drew Olson's squad finds itself in an enviable position. All-Americans Philly Lammers and Quinn Wragge return to the lineup.
The 2017-18 Concordia women’s basketball team checked off nearly every box while chasing down its lofty list of season goals. Olson's latest squad stated its case as the most successful in school history.
A constant during the winningest four years in Concordia women's basketball history, Brenleigh Daum just keeps chucking it. The college career of the McCook native will wind down this week in Sioux City, Iowa.
Says senior Dani Hoppes, "During a game, we’re all in for the team." Such selflessness serves as one of the reasons why the second-ranked Bulldogs enter the national tournament as one of four No. 1 seeds.
On Jan. 10, Drew Olson collected his 300th win as head coach for the Concordia women's basketball program. In the minds of so many, Coach Olson means a whole lot more to them than any victory ever could.
The big names are back in place for a program fresh off a national semifinal appearance and GPAC regular-season and tournament championships. The Bulldogs are primed for another ride deep into March.
