The Falcons had a great look at what would have been the winning shot at the end of regulation, but it did not fall. Then overtime whistles did away with any chance of a victory tonight in the Buuck Fieldhouse against the UW-Platteville Pioneers.

Concordia bolted to a 29-19 lead and still held a 31-24 margin at the break, but fouls began to take their toll as both of CUW's starting guards fouled out.

Freshman Ashleigh Galligan had her best game as a Falcon with 15 points and a trio of teammates reached double figures, but Platteville (8-2) had three players with 17 points each and hit 9 of 12 overtime charity tosses.

CUW was whistled for 25 fouls on the evening and the 51 turnovers between the two squads were mostly caused by tenacious man-man defense.

Stacey Brunner's squad (5-4) gets a brief Christmas respite before heading to Daytona Beach, Florida for games against UW- Stevens Point (December 28th) and Tufts (December 29th). It's "out of the frying pan- into the fire" as both holiday opponents are receiving National recognition.
