ALPINE, Texas - Women's hoops turned a close contest with Concordia into a 66-51 win after a 23-11 final quarter on Thursday night at the Gallego Center.

"It took a little while tonight to get going, but we found a way to get back on track," said head coach Katie Novak. "Not every game will be pretty, but the important thing is that we are still building together and finding ways to bounce back."

First Quarter
Marley Rokas opened scoring nearly three minutes in with a triple. Caitlyn Corley later mimicked Rokas with a triple before Rokas added a layup for an 8-2 lead. Sully continued to hold the advantage through the first, finishing with five of the final seven points on two free throws from Alexis Carmosino and a Cassie Hogan triple for a 18-12 lead after one.

Second Quarter
The Lobos upped their advantage to eight with four in a row from Hogan to lead 24-16. Concordia answered with the next eight for a tie near the midway point of the half, but Vania Hampton had a 4-0 response of her own for a 28-24 advantage. Ahead 28-26 with 4:23 left, Alyssa Ramlochan and Hampton made back-to-back layups before Kayla James added a pair from the line for a 34-26 lead with 1:00 left. The Tornados scored the final point of the half for a 34-27 Sully lead at the break.

Third Quarter

Fourth Quarter
Concordia opened the fourth with a triple for a 43-43 tie. Keona Loftis returned the favor with a triple the next time down the floor to start an 8-0 run. Hampton followed with a layup before Carmosino's layup and free throw after the foul made it 51-43 with 7:42 left. Hampton and Ramlochan teamed up for back-to-back layups one more time for a 66-50 lead, their largest of the game, with just over a minute left. That's all the Lobos needed, surrendering just one more point the rest of the way in a 66-51 win.
