MINNEAPOLIS -- Maria Loughlin (SR, Rogers, Minn.) scored 18 of her season-high 26 points in the second half, but the Augsburg College women's basketball team could not overcome a Concordia College-Moorhead advantage, as the Cobbers scored a 65-61 win in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference game on Saturday afternoon at Si Melby Hall.
