News mentions
Ty Bisek won four straight matches on the consolation side of the bracket to finish in third place and earn his first-ever national meet appearance. He was one of seven Cobber place winners, and helped CC finish in sixth place in the team standings.
The Cobbers are primed and ready for their biggest challenge of the year when they participate at the NCAA Upper Midwest Regional.
Senior Gabe Zierden led Concordia on the opening day of the Upper Midwest Regional Meet held at Concordia University in Mequon, Wis. Zierden is one of seven Cobber wrestlers still alive for a shot at the national meet.
#24 Concordia and #2 Augsburg combined for seven pins in their dual match in Minneapolis. Ty Bisek and Cade Lundeen got the pins for CC but it wasn't enough as they lost 40-12.
Concordia closed out the multi-team invitational portion of its schedule by competing in the Don Parker Wis.-Eau Claire Open – an invite that featured wrestlers from NCAA Division I and II schools.
For the second time in three weekends, the Cobbers went to the Land of Lincoln and posted some eye-opening regional results.
It was a 629-mile road trip to Illinois for the Cobbers in their first multi-team invitational of 2023, but the results were well worth the bus miles. Concordia had eight wrestlers post Top 6 finishes at the Elmhurst Al Hanke Invitational which helped the team place second in the 18-team meet.
Concordia won 23 individual matches in their four duals at the Kalahari Duals Meet, and 22 of those victories came via the bonus point variety.
Concordia split their two dual matches at the University of Mary Triangular Meet. The Cobbers beat Dickinson State 39-9, and then fell 41-3 to the No.8-ranked Marauders.
The trip across 8th Street has been kind to Concordia this year. In November the Cobbers beat the host Dragons in a dual meet, and on Saturday they returned to Nemzek Fieldhouse and recorded a dozen Top 6 finishes at the Dragon Open.
Concordia had four individuals win weight-class championships, and had four others post Top 3 finishes at the season-opening Jimmie Open.
