WAUKESHA, Wis. -- Carroll University brought a 2-4 record into Saturday afternoon's home matchup with Concordia University Wisconsin, but the host Pioneers were clearly the better team from start to finish on this day as they defeated the Falcons 81-65 in a non-conference matchup.

Things started out innocently enough with CUW holding a 17-16 with 9:39 remaining in the first half. Carroll went on an incredible 29-8 run over the next nine minutes, however, working around the Falcons pressure for easy looks while holding Shawn Cassidy's team to just three baskets during the nightmarish stretch. CUW trailed 46-24 at the break.

Concordia (7-3) never got closer than 14 points in the second half and that deficit slice (77-63) came in the final minute of the contest. CUW was only 4-of-18 on 3-point attempts for the game, with starters managing just 2-of-12 from distance. Carroll, on the other hand, hit 8-of-14 3-point efforts.
