Cobber Week In Review - By The Numbers
MOORHEAD, Minn. (10/29/12)—The Cobber
sports information department looks forward to a week filled with
MIAC playoff contests and one big football game by looking back at
the week that set everything up.
0: The Cobber men’s soccer team took 0
penalty kicks this season. It is the first time in program history
that the team has gone an entire season without being awarded a
penalty kick.
3: Men’s hockey player Trent
Johnson had three assists in the teams’ 5-5 overtime
tie with Hamline on Sunday. That is two more assists than he had in
all of 2011-12 and one more point than he had last
season.
5: The Cobber men’s cross country team
had all five of their top 5 runners at the MIAC Meet post
conference-best times. Garrick Larson’s crew was led by
Brad McConn who posted a time that was almost
three minutes faster than his mark at the 2009 meet when he was a
freshman.
6: The CC women’s swimming and diving
opened the competitive portion of their schedule on Saturday at the
UM-Morris Relays. The meet featured only relay events and Concordia
capped the day by winning their sixth straight t-shirt relay race.
8: The Cobber women’s hockey started their
season by being ranked 8th in the nation in the first
D3hockey.com poll. Concordia kicked off the 2012-13 campaign by
going 1-0-1 against Concordia (Wis.) and St.
Norbert.
10: The Cobber women’s cross country team
posted their best finish at a conference meet in 10 years.
Concordia finished sixth at the MIAC Meet on Saturday which is the
highest finish since 2002 and ties for their top spot since
2000.
40: The Concordia women’s soccer team has
won 40 MIAC games in the past five seasons. That is an average of
eight league wins a year – the most of any school in the
MIAC.
90: Cobber junior defensive back Bryce
Hentges returned a kickoff 90 yards against Carleton in
the Cobbers’ 51-27 win on Saturday. The kick return ties for
the longest in school history and is the second time in the last
three games a CC player has brought a kickoff back to ‘The
House”.
129: Cobber women’s soccer All-American
Sarah Rounds scored the game-winning goal against
Augsburg in the final 20 seconds of play to help Concordia finish
the regular season with a 10-1 record in MIAC play. The goal for
Rounds pushes her career point total to 129 which is just eight shy
of breaking the school’s all-time career
record.
279: Freshman volleyball outside hitter
Olivia Wangensteen finished the regular season
with 279 kills. That is the most by a freshman since Jenna Green
had 289 in 2008. Wangensteen led the MIAC in kills in conference
matches this season (169).
480: The Cobber football team has not trailed
for a single minute the entire season. That streak has now reached
480 minutes. Concordia’s only loss of the year came at Bethel
after the clock had already reached 00:00.
