News mentions
Concordia student-athletes Adam Brown, Ben Luedtke, Brady O’Brien, Cole O'Connell and Hanson O'Leary all earned American Hockey Coaches Association (AHCA) Krampade All-American Scholar honors.
Senior Cole O'Connell, junior Hanson O'Leary and sophomore Ben Luedtke earned CSC Academic All-District honors.
Concordia is down but not out in its quest for its 11th consecutive MIAC playoff appearance. The Cobbers rallied to take the lead in the third period of the series finale in St. Peter but then gave up a goal in the final 5 minutes of regulation and one more with 56 seconds left in overtime and lost 5-4.
Playoff hockey arrived early in Moorhead, with two of the Top 5 teams in the MIAC battling to a 2-2 overtime tie at the Moorhead Sports Center. Concordia and Augsburg played a tight-checking, high-intense game that was befitting of a conference tournament showdown.
There’s a saying in sports: “The score wasn’t indicative of the game.” Most of the time that isn’t true but on Saturday, it was clearly the case as the Cobbers lost 6-3 to No.2-ranked St. Scholastica in the series finale.
Concordia used its offensive zone passing prowess to score three goals in the final 35 minutes of play against Hamline and posted a 3-1 win in the non-conference contest.
If the last 15 games in conference play are anything like the opener, then Cobber fans are in for one whale of a season. Concordia and St. John’s traded goals until senior captain Cole O’Connell won the game with a goal in the first minute of overtime to give the Cobbers a dramatic 4-3 win over the Johnnies.
What’s better than a 3-game unbeaten streak to start the season? How about a 4-game unbeaten streak? Concordia used a dominating performance to blank Wis.-Superior and posted a 4-0 victory to up their unbeaten streak to four games.
Concordia never trailed in its season opener against No.9-ranked Aurora as they scored at least one goal in all three periods and posted a 4-1 win over the Spartans.
