It was also the second time in May's career she has been named conference player of the week after a game against West Virginia Wesleyan.

The Mountain Lions are third in the MEC in defensive field goal percentage (39.6). The Maroon and Gray also had a season-high nine steals. Lundy led the way, tying her career best wit three steals. Senior guard

OUT ON THE RIGHT FOOT
Wednesday marks the final game of 2018 for the Mountain Lions before a two-week layoff from competition on January 3 against Salem. At 6-3, Concord has a chance for its best 10-game start to a season since the 2011-12 squad started the season 9-1. A win Wednesday versus Davis & Elkins would also mark the second straight year CU has won its final game before the Christmas Break.
