Mequon

Visiting Carthage lived up to their national Top 10 pre-season billing with an impressive performance tonight as they handed Concordia an 86-51 defeat.

The outcome was never in doubt as the visitors raced from a 33-16 halftime lead to a 51-16 advantage over the first five minutes of the second session.

Carthage was able to work the ball inside and out to the tune of 56% shooting on the evening. That synchronization included 7 of 13 marksmanship from beyond the arc and a whooping 23 assists.

Concordia, conversely, turned the ball over 23 times and shot just 35% for the game.

Cailee Corcoran led Carthage with 20 points while Tiffany Hendrickson paced CUW with a dozen.
