In the 2015 quarterfinals at the NAIA Division II Women’s Basketball National Championship, Concordia shut down the Jamestown (N.D.) offense to advance into the national semifinals. This year, in the 2017 quarterfinals, Concordia did just that again.
They shut down the Jimmies’ senior leader, Taylor Hammer, limiting her to only two points as she fouled out in the fourth quarter. With the 74-59 win, the Bulldogs head into Monday and earn a spot in the national semifinals for the second time in just three years.
No. 1 Concordia (Neb.) (34-2) will take on No. 1 Saint Xavier (Ill.) (33-2) Monday night at 8 p.m. The national semifinals will be broadcasted on ESPN3. The loss concludes Jamestown at 27-6 on the year.
Marian and St Francis of Illinois play in the other semifinal.
