JT Roach had 17 points to lead five Concordia players in double figures.

Khalil Williams had eight points for the Golden Eagles.

Jihad Woods started the spurt with a three-point play and a layup by Williams made it 36-34. Pennie then hit consecutive baskets to make it 38-36. A pair of free throws by Carter gave the Golden Eagles their final lead of the game, 40-38.

Concordia responded with its game-turning 16-3 run and then kept the Golden Eagles at bay the rest of the way.

Cal State LA will turn its sights back to California Collegiate Athletic Association play. The Golden Eagles will return to action on Thursday at Cal State San Marcos and need a win to stay in the chase for the CCAA Championship Tournament.
