Jolysa Brown scored the Concord Women's Basketball team's first basket at Ohio Valley Saturday afternoon.

Sidney Lindsey scored the second.

From there, the trend was set.

The front-line duo would combine for 43 points and 16 rebounds in the Lady Lions' 73-61 WVIAC victory at the Snyder Activities Center in Vienna, WV.

The win was CU's third straight, matching their longest winning streak of the season.

Lindsey and Brown combined to score the Lady Lions' first 19 points as CU bolted to a quick 15-point lead. Concord led 38-26 at halftime, and reclaimed a 15-point lead at 47-32 after Lindsey's jumper with 13:13 remaining in the 2nd half.

Ohio Valley, pushed by the front line of Amber Avery and Kendra Benedict, chipped away at the Concord lead and drew within 62-57 with 3:26 left. But Lindsey made two free throws, Holly Bibb sank a breakaway layup, and, after a Benedict jumper, Brown converted a crucial three-point play that put CU up 69-59 with 1:57 left.

Brown went 4-4 from the line in the final :32 to close out the win.

Concord limited OVU to .352 from the field (25-71) and just 2-18 (.111) from three-point range. CU finished at .460 (23-50), including 6-15 from beyond the arc.
Concord was also 21-28 from the free-throw line, compared to 9-17 for the Fighting Lady Scots.

Lindsey paced CU with 22 points and nine rebounds. Brown was 6-10 from the field and 9-11 from the line in her 21-point, seven-rebound performance.
Bibb came off the bench to deliver a season-high 13 points, shooting 4-6 from the floor. Point guard Sarah Blevins played all 40 minutes and finished with six points and six assists with only one turnover.

Avery led OVU with a double-double of 18 points and 16 rebounds, scoring 14 points in the 2nd half. Benedict added a double-double of 19 points and 10 rebounds.
