COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. (12/06/25)---A pair of key point streaks in each half and a cold shooting touch from the outside in the second period sent Concordia to its first loss of the season.
Concordia gave up a 15-6 run in the first half, a 15-2 stretch in the second half and went 1-for-9 from 3-point range in the final 20 minutes of play as they fell 82-65 at St. John's.
The Cobbers held a 30-28 lead with 3:45 left in the first half of play but were outscored 15-6 down the stretch of the opening period and trailed 43-36 at the halftime break.
The teams traded baskets for the first 7:30 of the second half and a Jackson Loge layup brought CC within four points at 54-50 with 12:37 to play.
St. John's (3-4, 1-1 MIAC) responded with a game-deciding run over the next 6:00 which proved to be the difference in the score. The Johnnies went on a 15-2 run that pushed the four-point lead to 17 points with 6:33 left in the contest.
