SIOUX CITY, Iowa\u00a0 (UJ)\u00a0 —\u00a0<\/strong>A combination of Concordia points in the paint and an off-day shooting performance were too much for the Jimmie women’s basketball team to overcome as the No.1 Bulldogs knocked off third-seeded Jamestown 74-59 Saturday in the quarterfinals of the NAIA National Championship.<\/p>\n UJ shot a respectable 12-of-34 from three-point range, but made only seven of their 29 attempts inside the arc to finish the game at 30.2% from the floor. Meanwhile, Concordia held a 34-12 edge in points in the paint and made 50% (20-of-40) of their two-point shots.<\/p>\n The Bulldogs, who are the No. 2 team in the Coaches’ Top 25 Poll, took a 21-12 first quarter lead on 10-of-18 shooting and forced seven Jimmie turnovers. Jamestown had a 9-8 rebounding edge in the opening 10 minutes, but the swarming full-court press of Concordia made things difficult for the UJ offense.<\/p>\n Back-to-back Paige Emmel<\/a> (JR\/Bismarck, ND) three-pointers brought the Jimmies within five points, 23-18, with 7:29 left in the half. The Bulldogs then went on a 7-0 run and pushed the lead back to 12 at the 4:52 mark.<\/p>\n Despite trailing by 16 at the break, Jamestown started the second half with no signs of worry. McKayla Orr<\/a> (JR\/Ypsilanti, ND) scored seven of the Jimmies’ first nine second half points, and UJ was down by only 10.<\/p>\n In a quarter of runs, Concordia withstood the mini-Jamestown rally and put together a 6-0 run of their own to lead by 16, and it started to look like they would pull away.<\/p>\n
