Box Score

Following a rough first quarter for both offenses – UWW shot just 15.8 percent and CUW hit 23.1-percent from the field – the Warhawks turned it on for the rest of the game shooting above 45-percent from the floor and a blistering 70.6-percent (12-17) from three-point range in each quarter.

Bri McCurdy sparked the offense with a three-pointer 15 seconds into the period. After a Falcon layin, Aleah Grundahl got it done on the offensive glass with a put back that started a 10-point Warhawk run. Grundahl hit another layup while Katie Hildebrandt nailed a triple and McCurdy dropped in another from long range in the scoring burst.

Concordia Wisconsin narrowed the gap to seven, 23-16, with just under two minutes to go before the break. The Warhawks closed the half with a Kacie Carollo layup and a Maggie Trautsch three-pointer to take a 28-16 lead into the locker room.
