James Hobson came off the bench to lead the Spartans with 19 points.  He was followed by Alend Alemadi with 17 and Alex Hendricks with 16.  Renell Edwards scored 14 and Nic Pearson added 11.  M State shot 45.6% (31-68) from the field and made 10-of-31 (32.3%) from 3-point range.  Alemadi, Edwards and Christian Norby all had 7 rebounds, and Edwards and Hobson led the team with 4 assists each.  Edwards also came up with 7 steals on the night.

“Offensively, we were very balanced and most of the game we played unselfish team basketball with great movement and passing,” said M State Head Coach Shawn Sorenson.  “Concordia played tough all game and our guys were able to step up when we needed them to, especially in the second half with great defense.”

Braeton Motschenbacher led Concordia with 19 points.  David Birkeland had a strong floor game for the Cobbers with 11 points, 7 rebounds and 6 assists. Connor Bawdon was also in double digits with 11 points.  Concordia shot 41.9% (26-62) on the night.
