The Concordia men’s basketball team was victorious over Doane University in Walz Arena, showing up the Tigers 98-71 on Wednesday, Feb. 8.

The last time the two met in November, Concordia barely fell to the Tigers 80-77.

“We knew we needed a win after the loss we had against them earlier in the season,” senior Chandler Folkerts said. “We knew what we needed to do and we got that done tonight.”

Folkerts scored 21 points in the game, while senior guard Eli Ziegler added 17 points. Senior center Damme and freshman guard and forward Tanner Shuck each contributed with 11 points. Freshman forward Clay Reimers added 10 points coming off of the bench.

The Bulldogs are now 18-8 and 7-7 in the GPAC and have a six-game winning streak.

Concordia will hit the road this weekend to face No. 18 Briar Cliff at 4 p.m on Saturday. On Sunday, the Bulldogs will also travel to play No. 7 Dakota Wesleyan at 4 p.m.
