SIOUX CITY, Iowa – (Box Score) The stars twinkled under the bright lights of the big stage for the No. 1-seeded Concordia (Neb.) women’s basketball team. Senior All-Americans Bailey Morris and Tracy Peitz combined for 55 points in leading a 92-82 second-round victory over No. 4 College of Saint Mary (Neb.) in Sioux City, Iowa, on Friday afternoon.

One day after opening the 2015 NAIA Division II Women's Basketball National Championship, presented by State Farm, with a 41-point victory margin over Bryan (Tenn.), ninth-year head coach Drew Olson’s squad steamrolled its way to the quarterfinals for the second time in four years. The Bulldogs will enter Saturday’s 3 p.m. CDT matchup with No. 3 Jamestown (N.D.) sporting an overall record of 33-2.

Morris and Peitz were catalysts on both ends. Already the program’s all-time leading scorer, Morris racked up 34 points to eclipse 2,000 in her historic career. The point guard grabbed the baton from Peitz, who notched nine of Concordia’s first 12 points to gain an early lead.

Morris picked up her second foul before even scoring a point. The two-time Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) player of the year briefly went to the bench, then returned to the floor and torched the Flames by scoring 13-straight Concordia points during a run that gave her team a 26-14 lead. She showcased her versatility, filling it up from deep, from mid-range and with the dribble drive. Her 20 first-half points were already a national tournament career best.

An 8-0 late first-half run gave College of Saint Mary short-lived hope. Concordia led 45-34 at the half and quickly drove the advantage to 17 after a 6-0 run to begin the second was capped by Jade Gottier’s trey. The advantage grew as large as 28 points during an impressive second-half frenzy that featured a 24-8 spurt.

A late Concordia lull provided CSM a chance to sneak back within eight, but it was simply too late. Even the unstoppable force inside of Deaundra Young (21 points and 15 rebounds) failed to prevent the Bulldog locomotive.

Concordia hurled in a program national tournament record 92 points by bumping up its shooting percentage from 35.1 on Thursday to 43.7 on Friday. In addition to dominant efforts from Morris and Peitz, senior Jericca Pearson added 10 points and eight rebounds while freshmen Mary Janovich and Brenleigh Daum chipped in eight and seven points, respectively.

Young’s 21 points topped a group of six double-figure scorers for the Flames, who are set to join the GPAC beginning with the 2015-16 athletics season.

The Bulldogs will take on Jamestown (26-6) for the second time this season. The Bulldogs cruised past the Jimmies, 90-72, in Jamestown on Nov. 1. Four of the Jimmies’ six losses have come at the hands of GPAC opponents.
