St. PAUL, Minn. – The Winona State University women's basketball team ran into a buzz saw on Thursday, as the Concordia St. Paul Golden Bears beat the Warriors, 83-42 in the Gangelhoff Center.

A surging second quarter by CSP (5-1, 1-1 NSIC South) led to a hole that WSU (4-2, 1-1 NSIC South) could not dig out of, as the Golden Bears outscored the Warriors 21-11 in the second ten-minutes of play.  Unfortunately, the fourth quarter was also unfavorable to WSU, with Concordia – St. Paul racking up 28 final frame points.

Taylor Hustad hit double-digits for Winona State, scoring 13 points and hauling in eight rebounds. Ava Sergio had seven points off the bench on a perfect 3-of-3 shooting evening. It was a night to forget from 3-point land for Winona State, with Mattie Schimenz connecting on the only triple of the evening in twenty team attempts.

CSP was 33-of-71 from the floor, good for 46.5% overall and was 35.0% from behind the arc. The Golden Bears earned 22 points on Winona State turnovers. WSU hauled in 33 rebounds as a team and was 5-of-6 from the foul line.

Winona State will look to regroup this weekend when they host Minnesota State - Mankato on Saturday.  The Warriors and Mavericks will tip off at 3:30pm in McCown Gymnasium, home of WNB Financial Court.
