Game Summary

MOORHEAD, Minn. — The Saint Mary's University women's basketball team found themselves in a good news, bad news situation Monday evening against Concordia.

The good news: Jamie Rattunde (Rollingstone, Minn.) notched her second straight double-double — and fifth of the season — with a game-high 25 points and 11 rebounds, while teammate Angie Arrington (Spring Grove, Minn.) chipped in 11 points.

The bad news: The rest of the Cardinals managed just 21 points — including just seven from their nonstarters — as SMU proved to be no match for the Cobbers in an 80-57 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference setback.

The Cardinals hung with Concordia for the first 20 minutes, trailing by just eight, 43-35 after shooting 43 percent from the field and making 4 of 5 free throws.

Once again, that was the good news.

The bad news? The Cardinals managed to connect on just 8 of their 31 field goals in the second half — including a miserable 2-for-13 from the 3-point line and a 4-for-9 effort from the free-throw line — as the Cobbers outscored SMU 37-22 in the second half.

The Cardinals, who had their two-game winning streak snapped, dropped to 7-4 in the MIAC — one game back of Concordia (8-3 MIAC, 10-4 overall) for fourth place in the conference standings.

Jamie Visness scored 22 points and Mandy Pearson added 19 for the Cobbers, who won for the fourth straight time.
