ALPINE, Texas -- 25 games are in the book for the Concordia University Texas women's basketball team and the 2009-10 season.  Concordia (9-16, 7-14 ASC) wrapped up its season on Saturday afternoon with a 68-56 win over Sul Ross State University at the Pete P. Gallego Center.  Senior forward #Kerrie Carter# led the way with a double-double, posting a career-high 27 points and 12 rebounds.

The Tornados used their hot-shooting three-point hands in the first half to jump out to a 10-point halftime lead (38-28).  CTX shot 53.8% (7-of-13) from beyond the arc, which helped the Tornados shoot 36.1% (13-of-36) overall in the first half.  The second half wasn't as kind to Concordia, as the Tornados hit only 26.3% (10-of-38) of their shots and were without a three-point bucket (0-for-10).  Overall, Concordia would shoot 31.1%.
