Gameday Recap
MOORHEAD, Minn.-- If Concordia head coach Duane Siverson could have ordered a script before Wednesday's game it would have been exactly the way the game turned out in the Cobbers' 89-63 win over Augsburg.
Concordia was 0-2 since losing preseason All-American Keith Eckhoff and had struggled to find a consistent offensive rhythm for a full game. That doubt has been put to rest as Concordia shot 65.1% (28-of-43) from the field for the game and 85.7% (6-of-7) from behind the arc in the second half.
The much-needed win pushes Concordia's conference record to 4-3 while they improve to 5-6 overall. The Cobbers are one of five teams in the league that are tied for third place with a 4-3 mark. The Auggies, who led 2-0 and never threatened after that, fell to 2-5 in the MIAC and 3-9 overall.
Mark Dixon had a monster game for the Cobbers. He finished with a career-high 20 points and delighted the crowd with two highlight reel dunks. Dixon came off the bench to score his 20 points in 24 minutes of action. Dixon went 8-of-9 from the floor and was 1-of-1 from 3-point range. He also had a game-high eight rebounds.
Two other Cobber players finished in double digits. Ryan Templeton was 3-of-4 from behind the arc and knocked down several key shots with the shot clock winding down. He finished 16 points, 10 more than he had in any other game in the first 10 games of the year. Brock Citterman, starting for the first time in his career, had 15 points, seven rebounds and three assists.
Augsburg was led by Dan Graf. Graf had a team-high 18 points. He was 4-of-7 from 3-point range and collected four rebounds, second best on the team. Matthew Huttner had a team-high seven rebounds to go along with nine points.
Concordia will start a tough two-game swing when they travel to St. Paul to take on Bethel on Saturday, Jan. 14 at 3:15pm. They will then return home to host league-leading St. Thomas on Monday, Jan. 16 at 8:00pm. Both games can be heard live via the internet at:
