RIVER FOREST, Ill. - The Rockford University women's basketball team (0-3, 0-3 NACC) fell 63-46 on the road Friday evening to the Concordia University Chicago Cougars (1-3, 1-0 NACC). The Regents and Cougars battled back-and-fourth over the first three quarters of the game, with CUC taking a slim 40-38 lead into the final period. Unfortunately, Rockford was outscored 23-8 over the final 10 minutes. The Regents shot just under 30% in the quarter compared to 60% shooting for the Cougars. Things were not all bad for the Regents however, as the ladies continued to show their toughness on the boards. Rockford outrebounded its opponent for the second time in its three games this season, pulling down 38 rebounds tonight, compared to just 32 for the Cougars. Also for the first time this season the Regents had a trio of players, Da Sani Hannah, Pamela Colmenares and Naynay Clark, hit double-figures in scoring.

• Rockford got off to a slow start, falling behind 8-2 just over 6 minutes into the game. 
• However, the Regents closed the period on a 9-0 run to take an 11-8 lead into the second. Naynay Clark was absolutely on fire over that span, scoring 7 points on a perfect 5-for-5 performance at the free throw line and a 1-for-1 effort from the floor.
• Amber Krause then expanded the Regents' lead to a game-high 6 points with a triple to open the second quarter. 
• Unfortunately, the Cougars promptly went on a 7-0 run over a 3:08 span to retake the lead at 15-14 midway through the period. 
• Rockford and Concordia Chicago went back-and-forth over the remainder of the quarter, with CUC scoring the final three points to take a 25-20 lead into the half. 
• The third quarter got off to a great start, as Rockford scored the first four points and pulled back within one. Da Sani Hannah connected on back-to-back layups less than a minute into the quarter and made it just a 25-24 Cougar advantage. 
• The Cougars would extend their lead to as many as 9 points at the 5:37 mark before Rockford came roaring back over the final few minutes. 
• Rockford slowly chipped away at the Cougar lead, using a 12-4 run over a 5:17 span to pull back within a single point, with just 20 seconds left in the third. Pamela Colmenares led the way with 7 points, including a triple to start the run. Da Sani Hannah added 4 points, including a layup to cap off the Regents' run. 
• CUC would make a free throw in the closing seconds to take a 40-38 lead into the fourth and final quarter. 
• Unfortunately, things did not go well for Rockford in the fourth. CUC scored the first 19 points of the quarter en route to a 63-46 win.

• Da Sani Hannah played an outstanding game off the bench. Hannah poured in a season-high 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting and went a perfect 4-for-4 at the free throw line. She also tied her season-high with 7 rebounds and 2 steals.
• Pamela Colmenares also had an excellent game for Rockford. Colmenares tallied a season-high 13 points on 6-of-9 shooting and had 2 steals. 
• Naynay Clark was the final Regent to crack double-digits. Clark finished with a season-high 10 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists.
