Augsburg rally comes up just short, Auggies fall 82-80 to Concordia

MOORHEAD, Minn. -- Joe Zangel (JR, St. Louis Park, Minn./St. Louis Park HS) scored a career-high 29 points but the Augsburg College men's basketball team rally came up just short as the Auggies dropped an 82-80 heartbreaker to Concordia College-Moorhead in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action on Saturday afternoon at Memorial Auditorium.

THE BASICS
FINAL SCORE: Augsburg 80, Concordia 82
LOCATION: Memorial Auditorium, Moorhead, Minn.
RECORDS: Augsburg 11-14 overall (8-12 MIAC), Concordia 15-10 overall (11-9 MIAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
• After trailing by 12 at the half, and despite trailing 70-63 with just under two minutes to play, the Auggies pulled within three with 36 seconds left in the action. Augsburg was forced to foul and despite a pair of made jumpers by Collin Olmscheid (FY, Buffalo, Minn./Buffalo HS) and a 3-pointer by Parker Hines (SR, Lakeville, Minn./Minnehaha Academy HS) in the final minute, Concordia was able to hit 6-of-6 from the free throw line to seal the victory.
• Zangel's career-high 29 points came on an 11-of-20 shooting performance, where he added four rebounds. Zangel came on strong at the end of the season for the Auggies, averaging just under 15 points per-game over the team's final eight contests.
• Hines, posted his second double-double of the year with a 13-point, 16-assist effort. The 16 assists are a career-high for Hines and were just four shy of the Augsburg single game record of 20 set by Ronnie Henderson in 1979. In his final game as an Auggie, Hines set the single-season assist record (129) and tied the Augsburg school record for career assists with 473.
• Olmscheid also scored in double figures for the Auggies, putting up 17 points on a 7-of-11 shooting performance, while adding four rebounds.
• For the game, Augsburg shot 47.0 percent (31-of-66) from the field, while the Cobbers connected on 51.9 percent (27-of-52) from the floor.
• Concordia claimed a 39-32 advantage on the boards.

FOR THE FOES
• Concordia finished with four players in double figures, led by Jordan Bolger and Brandon Giese, who finished with 21 points apiece.

UP NEXT
• Augsburg finished its season with a record of 11-14 overall (8-12 MIAC) and finished tied for seventh in the league.
