The Concordia Cobber women were having trouble getting out in front of Macalester until Holly Zollar scored eight straight points in the second half to lift the team to a 73-65 win. The Cobbers' record now stands at 6-1 in the MIAC, 10-2 overall.
Concordia held a two-point lead before Zollar lauched two three-pointers from the top of the key and a lay-up in the next three trips down the court for the Cobbers to give them a 48-40 lead. Concordia lengthened the lead to 60-45, before Macalester attempted a comeback.
They got within six points of the Cobbers with a minute left in the game, but the Cobbers hung on for the victory.
