IRVINE, CA --- Sam Gelberger scored two goals in a five-goal fourth quarter, as Concordia rebounded from an 11-6 deficit, but the nation's No. 15 Cal State Bakersfield picked up a late score from Shannon McKenzie to down the Eagles, 12-11.

Concordia (1-2) picked up 10 saves from goalie Lauren Biberston in the loss, which came just a week after the Roadrunners beat California Baptist by a final score of 11-6 (Jan. 31).

"I am very proud of the way the team showed the resiliency to come back in the fourth quarter," head coach Steve Carrera said. "I was very impressed with the way our freshmen contributed as well."

Concordia drops its second in a row, after falling to No. 17 UC Santa Barbara Jan. 24.

The Eagles next take on UC Davis Feb. 14 at the Roadrunner Invitational in Bakersfield.
