Gordon, Eagle offense come alive in defeat

MADISON, Wis. – Sophomore Allison Gordon scored a game-high 22 points and the Edgewood College women's basketball posted a season-high in points, but fell to Concordia Chicago, 84-62, at home on Saturday afternoon.

Gordon, returning from a two-game absence due to injury, muscled her way to 15 points on 6-of-8 shooting as the Eagles (0-5, 0-2 NACC) matched their season scoring average of 37 points and trailed by just one point at halftime. With the Eagles up a point, the Cougars (3-2, 2-2 NACC) went on a decisive 12-0 run midway through the third quarter and led by as many as 27 in the fourth to put away the Eagles for the second-straight time.

Despite the setback, the Eagles found their groove on offense against a Cougar defense that utilized a full-court press throughout and set season-highs in points (62), shooting percentage (38.3), three-pointers made (5), free throws made (11), and assists (14) in the effort.

Senior Sidney Peach added 11 points on 4-of-7 shooting, including 3-for-3 from deep, and junior Marissa Hoyer scored 13 points after a 4-for-8 performance from the field. Gordon, Peach, and Hoyer, who are the only three players with previous experience prior to this season for the Eagles, combined for 46 of the team's 62 points. 

Gordon finished 9-of 12 from the field and scored all 22 of her points through the first three quarters. The Mount Horeb, Wis. native was one point off matching her career-high, but saw limited touches in the final period. 

Led by guard Courtney Lofink and her near triple-double of 13 points, 11 assists, and nine steals, the Cougars utilized a 39-18 advantage in points off turnovers and a 30-2 edge in fast break points to beat the Eagles for only the fifth time in their 14 matchups.

Next up for the Eagles is a home matchup against MSOE this Wednesday, December 7 at 7:00 p.m.
