Margaret Cecilio, the reigning CCIW Offensive Player of the Week, finished her afternoon with six goals, which is a career-high for the senior. Kate Hettiger added three scores, the second time in three games she has had that this season. 

Concordia-Chicago enters the weekend with a 1-4 record overall. The Cougars are currently enduring a three-game losing streak after picking up a win over fellow CCIW school Elmhurst by a score of 15-2. In their most recent contest, CUC was defeated on the road 11-8 by St. Mary's (Ind.). The Cougars went 11-2 a season ago, with their only two losses coming against NACC champion Aurora.
