Box Score

    ATHENS, W.Va. – A cold second quarter proved too much for the West Liberty University women's basketball team to overcome here Saturday as Concord handed the Black and Gold a 90-63 setback at the Carter Center.
    Coach Kyle Cooper's Lady Hilltoppers (6-10, 5-5) came out strong, opening up a 14-8 lead midway through the opening quarter, but the Mountain Lions (6-7, 4-6) quickly found the range.
    Concord battled back to go up 20-19 at the end of the quarter and held WLU to just two points over the first four minutes of the second frame, stretching the margin to 32-21 on a Lindsey Overbey jumper with 6:24 left before halftime.
    After the Mountain Lions carried a 45-29 lead into the locker room at intermission, they scored the first six points of the second half to forge a 51-29 advantage and the Hilltoppers were unable to fight their way back.
    Junior post Marissa Brown notched her sixth double-double in the last seven games with 22 points and 11 rebounds to go along with 3 blocked shots. McKenna Shives joined Brown in double-figures with 13 points, 10 of them in the first half.
    Madison May led all scorers for Concord with 27 points while Riley Fitzwater just missed a triple-double with 15 points, 13 rebounds and 8 blocked shots.
    The WLU women will try to bounce back on Wednesday when they host Urbana in a 5:30 p.m. tipoff at the ASRC.
