BRONXVILLE, N.Y. – The Caldwell College women's basketball team defeated Concordia College, 72-61 in a Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference game Tuesday night in the Meyer Athletic Center. The win clinches a berth in the CACC Tournament for the Cougars (14-10 overall), who are in second place in the North Division with a 12-5 league record. The Clippers fall to 0-24, 0-17 CACC.

Caldwell took the upper hand early in the first half, getting two three-pointers and 10 points from freshman guard Antoinette Pilla (Scarsdale, NY/Ardsley) in building a 24-7 lead over the first 10 minutes of the game. The Cougars stayed in control throughout the half, hitting 6-of-11 from beyond the arc before taking a 38-24 advantage at the break.

The three-pointer continued to be a weapon for Caldwell in the second half, as threes from sophomore guard Nicole Angelo (Mount Laurel, NJ/Camden Catholic) and junior guard Jessica Coscia (Staten Island, NY/Moore Catholic) helped the Cougars expand their lead to 59-31 with 13:15 remaining. The Clippers used five threes, including three treys from Mariah Berry, to get as close as 67-56 with 1:45 left to play. But it was not enough to prevent Caldwell from winning its third in a row.
