Falcons no match for Warriors
Milwaukee
After a pair of solid wins, it appeared CUW might be finding a team
defensive identity. Somewhere on the way to Milwaukee Saturday
afternoon, that identity was stolen by Wisconsin Lutheran
Entering Saturday night's contest with a 1-5 record, the hustling
Warriors shut off the passing lanes and smothered CUW's inside
game. They ran past the Falcons by opening up a 44- 32 halftime
lead and never looking back on the way to an 86- 63 pasting.
On offense the hosts hit 12 of 28 from beyond the arc and 14 of 17
from the line while holding CUW to a feeble 32% from the field.
When the Falcons have to resort to outside shooting, the results
have been largely disappointing. Saturday's 6-28 (21%) proved
impossible to overcome.
WLC forward Sam Siemers torched the Falcons with 35 points and his
bookend Kyle Madson added 20. Concordia starters shot a collective
25% and only reserve Cory Stark (5-5) had any offensive success.
Shawn Cassidy's team fell to 5-4 on the season and 2-1 in the NAC
while Lutheran won their second straight.
