• The Mountain Lions will be seeking to make at least five three-pointers for the fourth consecutive game when they square off agaisnt GSC. Concord had a string of five consecutive games last season (Feb. 4-11) where they made at least five triples.

• In fact in three of the five games this year, CU has made more free throws than its opponents has attempted during the game

• With two outstanding games against Glenville State and West Virginia Wesleyan, Wagner would become the first CU player to score 20 points in four straight contests since former All-American center Jolysa Brown accomplished the feat in nine straight games at the end of the 2011-2012 season.

A CONCORD WIN WOULD
• A win over Glenville State would snap a three-game losing streak to the Pioneers.

• A win over West Virginia Wesleyan would extend CU's winning streak over the Bobcats to three games.

• A win over both WVWC and GSC would move coach Kenny Osborne to within six wins of 200 career victories as Concord's head coach.
