Lakewood, N.J. - Safiyyah Lee's team-leading sixth double-double of the year provided the lone highlight for Georgian Court University as the Lions suffered a disappointing 71-63 defeat to visiting Concordia College Saturday in Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference (CACC) women's basketball action.

Owning an 18-17 lead after the first quarter of play, the Clippers (4-13, 3-5 CACC) expanded their advantage to seven after a Nicole Nicholson (Sr.-Staten Island, N.Y.) free throw made the score 27-20 Concordia with 5:26 to go in the half. The visitors never relented the rest of the frame, possessing a 33-28 surplus heading into intermission.

A 12-6 Georgian Court spurt kicked off the third period as a Hanna Thrainsdottir layup put the Lions ahead, 40-39, with 4:13 on the clock. A Sara Hopkins (So.-Mountain Top, Pa.) lay-in snapped a 44-44 stalemate at 1:43 as the Clippers sailed into the fourth-and-final frame up 48-45.

Trailing by a game-high deficit of 54-45 with 8:04 left in regulation, Georgian Court powered its way through a 16-6 run to take a slim 61-60 edge with 3:06 left. Concordia answered with an attack of is own as a Jaayden Lafontant (Fr.-Theills, N.Y.) jumper at 2:16 began an 11-2 run, providing the Clippers an eight-point cushion at the final buzzer.

Once again, turnovers (20) and fouls (30) doomed the home team as Concordia collected 24 points off GCU miscues and 27 points from the charity stripe.

Shanice Graves (Jr.-Brooklyn, N.Y.) authored a double-double for the victors with a game-high 25 points and 10 rebounds. The aforementioned Lafontant dropped in 11 points while Christina Brown (Fr.-Ardmore, Pa.) contributed nine points and 13 boards.

Lee paced GCU with 23 points and 13 rebounds while also supplying a quintet of steals and blocks. Savawn Hughes sank 12 points from the floor in the Lions' loss.

Georgian Court (4-11, 2-6 CACC) looks to snap its three-game slide Tuesday when the Lions host Goldey-Beacom College (2-14, 2-6 CACC) in a divisional showdown.
