2\/9\/19 \u2013 Hoping to add to the tally of points for the Cougars in the River Forest Rivalry Cup, the Concordia University Chicago womens’ basketball team headed down the street to take on the Dominican University Stars. It would prove that favor was not on their side; the women suffered one of their toughest shooting days of the season. Due to this, the Stars were able to snatch the win away with a score of 62-51.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Things\nstarted off heated, as the lead would switch hands multiple times in the first\nminutes. The Cougars were able to eventually secure a 16-14 lead, but that\nwould be the last time they held that lead, as the Stars would punish them for\nevery missed shot with a bucket of their own. With both teams headed to the\nlocker room at half, the Stars sat comfortably with a 24-18 lead over the\nCougars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the third quarter alone, they outscored their first half total, and the women would not stop there. At the start of the fourth quarter, the Cougars were only down by 3 (points) to the Stars. Unfortunately, the magic of the third (quarter) dried up, and the women found themselves missing once again. When the final buzzer finally rang out, the scoreboard showed a 62-51 victory for the Dominican Stars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Concordia University Chicago will also have a celebration for National Girls and Women in Sports Day, and they will honor all of the womens’ teams.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
