The win for Concord was its fifth straight which is a season high—the second straight year with a win streak of at least five games.
PERFECT VISION
Smith continues her excellent season and made some history in the victory over Davis & Elkins. The Little Hocking, Ohio native collected her first 20-20 game, ending the victory with 22 points and 21 rebounds (career high). For Concord, this is the first 20-20 game since Riley Fitzwater in January of 2018 against Wheeling Jesuit. Smith was recognized as the MEC Player of the Week for her performances against Fairmont State, West Virginia Wesleyan and Davis & Elkins. This was Smith's third Player of the Week award this season. Smith tallied 59 total points, 34 rebounds, eight blocks, and four assists. Across the three games, Smith shot 24-40 (60 percent) from the field. Smith was also named MEC Player of the Week three times during her junior season.
GOING FRAZEE
