(Adrian, MI) - The #6 Lady Cards headed out to Adrian, MI on Saturday to face off against #RV Siena Heights University for an important conference game. The Cards are currently second place in the WHAC and the third place Saints threatened to shorten the gap with a win. Fortunately, the ladies were on their game and defeated Siena 72-56.

Brittany Simmons came up big for the Cards putting up a double double with 12 points and 10 rebounds, shooting 4/8 from the field and 2/2 from beyond the arc. Catherine Herriman led the Cards in points with 15 while Kortni Elsworth and Hannah Sabol also chipped in with 10 points apiece. Elsworth also added 8 assists for the Cards which notched her name into the Concordia record books yet again. With the 8 assists Kortni broke her own record for assists in a season.
