Concordia vs. Benedictine Cougars Eagles 13-8 (12-4 NACC) 17-4 (13-3 NACC)

The Cougars come into today’s contest with a spot in the NACC playoffs locked up after downing Aurora and Marian on the road last week.

Courtney Lofink broke the CUC all-time steals record on Saturday with her 286th of her career. She now stands just two assists and six steals shy of setting the NACC single sea-son records.

Taylor Jacobsen had a record setting performance of her own on Saturday, matching her career high with 33 points, and matching a CUC single game record with 15 field goals in the game.

The Cougars have been nearly perfect at home on the season going 7-1 so far, while out-scoring their opponents by an average of 16.4 points per game inside Geiseman.

CUC currently sits in fourth in the NACC, but is still in contention to win the conference.

The top four teams are guaranteed a home playoff game, with the top two receiving first round byes.

Benedictine is 6-1 since losing to CUC on January 11 at home. They are coming off a hard fought 60-56 win over Wisconsin Lutheran.

Benedictine has three starters averaging in double figures, with D’Asia Williams leading the charge at 13.1 points per game.

The Cougars used a huge second half to take down the Eagles on the road 70-52 back on January 11th.

Taylor Jacobsen led the Cougars with 20 points, while Courtney Lofink picked up a double-double (14 points, 10 rebounds).

D’Asia Williams poured in 18 points for Benedictine on the game.
