Concordia College Alabama’s  women’s basketball team’s hopes of winning back-to-back United States Collegiate Athletic Association national championships ended Friday morning in a 63-57 loss to Daemen College at Penn State Fayette in Uniontown, Pa.

The Lady Hornets had won 24 consecutive games but couldn’t overcome a porous day shooting the ball to reach their second straight title game. Concordia made just 25 percent of its field goal attempts. It was by far the worst shooting performance of the year for the Hornets, who had only shot under 40 percent five times all season.

USCAA Player of the Year Tykeria Johnson was held to just 7 points on 3-of-17 attempts.

Erica Ousley led Concordia with 25 points and added seven rebounds.

Leshay Lettingham was also in double figures for the Hornets with 12 points.

 

Daemen College 68,

The Concordia College Alabama men fell to Daemen College 68-63 Thursday night in the semifinals of the USCAA championships.

The game was back and forth the entire second half, but the Hornets couldn’t shut down Daemen’s Kyle Clifford, who scored 25 points.

Dennis Miles scored 19 points to lead the Hornets in scoring and also added 12 rebounds.

Tedarius Neely scored 14 points, Kendrick Atwood added 13 and Jamie Washington had 10 for Concordia.

The Hornets won the rebounding battle 46-34 but Daemen made 10 three-point attempts compared to only four for Concordia.
