Fun in the sun and a pair of highly rated foes await the arrival of the Bulldogs at the Hoop N Surf Classic in Honolulu, Hawaii. No. 22 Concordia is set to go up against No. 1 Campbellsville and No. 3 Thomas More.
A focused effort by Concordia led to a blowout win at Hastings, 91-69, on Saturday (Dec. 11). Five Bulldogs (12 3-point field goals) reached double figures in a contest that Concordia led by as many as 31 points.
Concordia hit Mount Marty with a flurry out of the gate, racing out to a 16-0 lead that grew to 33-5 by the end of the first quarter. Taysha Rushton piled up 18 first-half points in the 88-53 home victory on Wednesday (Dec. 8).
Concordia looks to get on a roll in conference play this week as it hosts Mount Marty and travels to Hastings. The Bulldogs, who are coming off a win over No. 12 Northwestern, own series win streaks against both opponents.
Concordia's ability to get stops in its zone D in the fourth quarter helped pave the way for a rally and an eventual 84-82 overtime win over No. 12 Northwestern. Taysha Rushton and Sadie Powell played critical roles down the stretch.
After trailing by double digits early on, the 25th-ranked Bulldogs rallied back behind a career high 24 points from Lauren Baker. Ultimately, No. 10 Morningside held off Concordia, 89-83, on Wednesday (Dec. 1).
A critical week of conference play is on tap as the Bulldogs go up against ranked foes Morningside and Northwestern, two teams with 3-0 GPAC records. Concordia is coming off a 76-66 win at No. 3 Wayland Baptist.
An early flurry helped propel the 21st-ranked Bulldogs to a 76-66 road upset of No. 3 Wayland Baptist in Plainview, Texas, on Saturday (Nov. 27). The Queens had owned a 50-game home win streak entering the weekend.
Jamestown's bid for a come-from-behind upset on the road was thwarted when Taysha Rushton banked in a shot at the buzzer. The Bulldogs celebrated a 69-67 win behind 20 points from Rushton on Tuesday (Nov. 23).
During Thanksgiving week, the schedule offers up a plate that features a home game with Jamestown and a trip to No. 3 Wayland Baptist. The Bulldogs are searching for consistency after going 1-1 last week in GPAC play.
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.
