Four players scored in double figures for the No. 20 ranked University of Wisconsin-Whitewater women's basketball, which shot a blazing 59.7 percent from the floor in an 86-67 triumph over Concordia Wisconsin in a non-conference affair at Kachel Gymnasium.
 
The Warhawks (4-0 overall) hit 37-of-62 shots for the game, including 12-of-17 (70.6 percent) in the third quarter, when they outscored the Falcons 29-11.
 
Senior guard Malia Smith (Bolingbrook, Ill./Neuqua Valley) and sophomore guard Camri Conley (Sugar Grove, Ill./Kaneland) tallied 16 points apiece to lead UW-Whitewater. Conley added eight rebounds and three assists, while Smith posted two steals on the defensive end.
 
Senior guard Brooke Trewyn (Whitewater, Wis./Whitewater) recorded her second double-double of the year with a 15-point, 10-rebound effort to go along with three assists. Junior forward Sarah Schumacher (Whitewater, Wis./Whitewater) collected a season-best 14 points in 20 minutes off the bench.
 
The Warhawks out-scored Concordia (1-2) by a 52-22 margin in the paint.
 
Both teams started hot from the field in the first half. The Warhawks grabbed an early 8-2 lead and hit nine of their first 12 shots, but the Falcons led 16-13 midway through the first quarter.
 
UW-Whitewater made a 7-0 run to take a 20-16 advantage after a layup by Schumacher, but Concordia rallied with a 9-2 spurt to take a 25-22 lead at the end of the quarter.
 
Neither team led by more than one possession in the second until the end of the quarter. Smith converted a driving layup in the final minute to put the Warhawks ahead by four, but the Falcons hit a shot just before the halftime buzzer to cut their deficit to 38-36.
 
UW-Whitewater grabbed a double-digit lead for good with a 10-0 run midway through the third that included four free throws by Conley, a layup by sophomore forward Nikki Foster (Janesville, Wis./Craig) and four points from Trewyn, who capped the run with a put-back off a missed free throw with 3:25 to play in the quarter.
 
After a 3-pointer by the Falcons, the Warhawks embarked on an 11-2 run to close the quarter and take a 67-47 advantage through three.
 
UW-Whitewater grabbed its largest lead of the game on three occasions in the fourth quarter. Trewyn's jumper with 5:01 remaining put the team ahead 78-56, and sophomore guard Becky Raeder (Sheboygan Falls, Wis./Sheboygan Falls) gave the team the same margin with back-to-back jumpers.
