Battling injuries and an inspired opponent, the Concord Women's Basketball lost its fifth straight game, 81-69, at Pitt-Johnstown Thursday night.
The Lady Lions had only nine healthy players, with Sidney Lindsey, Meghan Cole, Sierra Brown and Anna Truckley on the sidelines.
The Lady Cats led 42-36 at halftime, but quickly extended their advantage to double figures. Concord would hang around, getting with 71-64 with 4:34 remaining, but UPJ closed out the contest with a 10-5 rally.
Camisha Alexander led Concord with 26 points. Jolysa Brown added 18 points and nine rebounds, and Holly Bibb -- in her first start of the season -- chipped in 10 points.
Monae Baker paced UPJ with a double-double of 31 points and 12 rebounds. Sheena Aden contributed 16 points and Andrea Dalton 14.
BOXSCORE: 136.142.229.102/UPJsports/wbb09-10/cuw0204.htm
