Hau pours in 30, Falcons snap skid with win over Eagles

MADISON, Wis. – Josh Hau poured in a career-high-tying 30 points on Thursday to propel Concordia Wisconsin to a 72-65 victory at Edgewood in NACC play to snap a three-game losing streak.

THE BASICS
Final Score: Concordia Wisconsin 72, Edgewood 65
Location: Edgedome (Madison, Wis.)
Records: Concordia Wisconsin 7-8, 5-5 NACC; Edgewood 6-9, 6-4 NACC

HOW IT HAPPENED
