MEQUON, Wis. – Luke Doedens had a career day from behind the arc with seven 3-pointers and the Concordia University Wisconsin men's basketball team drained a record-tying 17 3-pointers in an 89-63 victory over Concordia University Chicago during Northern Athletics Conference play inside the R. John Buuck Field House on Saturday afternoon.

CUW's 17 3-pointers made tied a team record for a single game, which was set against Concordia Missouri during the 2001-02 season. It took the Falcons nearly 10 minutes before they heated up and made six 3-pointers during a 4:36 stretch in the first half to turn a two-point deficit into an eight-point lead.

Doedens (senior, Cedarburg ,Wis.) and senior Zach Neumann (Germantown, Wis.) led the onslaught in the opening half with four long balls apiece, as CUW built a 49-34 halftime lead and never looked back.

While the first half was the Doedens and Neumann show, the second period was senior Mitchell Schneider's (New Holstein, Wis.) turn to shine. He drained four 3-pointers and scored 19 second half points as CUW (3-1, 1-0 NAC) increased its lead to as many as 27 points before the final horn sounded.

The Falcons finished 52.4 percent from the field, including 17-for-34 from behind the arc. CUW's ball movement was superb as it assisted on 22-of-33 field goals in the win.
Doedens led all players with 26 points, to go along with six rebounds and six assists for the Falcons. Schneider concluded the game with 23 points, while Neumann scored 14 off the bench. Schneider and senior Matt Paluchniak (Ooostburg) each finished with five assists.
