RIVER FOREST, Ill. – The Edgewood College women's basketball team returned to the win column on Saturday, picking up their first road victory of the season. The Eagles dominated the boards 58-34 and downed the Cougars 64-51 to even their Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference record at 2-2.

 Edgewood College cruised to an 11-0 run to start the game and never looked back. Five different Eagles scored a point in the opening run, proving the offense was ready for a victory. Edgewood College (2-5, 2-2 NACC) turned the ball over 10 times in the half compared to Concordia Chicago's nine, but turned those Cougar blemishes into 13 points. Edgewood College also outscored Concordia Chicago (0-5, 0-4 NACC) 14-8 in the paint before the break to lead 30-22.

After the Cougars scored the first basket of the half to cut their deficit to six, Mariah Hill and Dareon Henderson combined for buckets, giving the Eagles a nine-point advantage. With 11:01 remaining, Brooke McBain put Edgewood College up by double digits and the Eagles held a comfortable advantage the rest of the way.

Hill scored 12 of her game-high 18 points after the break and was 3-for-6 from beyond the arc. Hill added a team-high nine rebounds and five assists. Chelsey Watkins chipped in 10 points and seven boards. The Eagles pulled down a season-high 58 rebounds, including 23 offensive, which tied for fourth in Edgewood College history and was the most since 2010.

The Eagles will return home to Madison on Tuesday when Edgewood College takes on MSOE at 7:00 p.m. Live stats and live video will be available onEdgewoodCollegeEagles.com.
