Cobber Week In Review - By The Numbers

MOORHEAD, Minn. (11/18/12)—The Cobber Sports Information office puts an official wrap on the fall sports season with this edition of the Week in Review. With the women’s soccer loss in the Sweet 16 at Washington U., all eight fall sports have competed their seasons and that means it is time for the six winter sports seasons to take center stage. We hope the momentum started by the fall sports teams carry over to the winter!  

1: The women’s hockey team scored just one goal in their two-game series against Bethel this past weekend but thanks to their stellar defensive play, was able to come away with one league points. The Cobbers put up 53 shots against Royal goalie Jess Newstrom with only one getting behind the all-conference netminder. Maddy Gendreau, last week’s MIAC Player of the Week, was the only CC player to light the lamp on the weekend.     

2: Concordia senior All-American wrestler Tom Bouressa defeated two NCAA Division I athletes on his way to capturing the championship in the 285-lb weight class at the Finn Grinaker Cobber Open on Saturday. Bouressa beat Cody Krumweide of Northern Iowa in the championship match. Krumweide was a three-time Iowa high school state champion.

5: The Cobber men’s hockey team scored five goals in their 5-1 win at Bethel on Saturday. The victory helped CC earn a split in the series and improves their conference record to 2-2-0 on the year. Concordia has now scored five or more goals in two games this season which is one more than they had in all of last season.  

10: The swimming and diving team posted 10 season best marks at the JoAnn Andregg Invite held at St. Thomas on Friday. CC also came away with five career bests at the meet. The other big highlight came from the 200-yard freestyle relay team of Alexis Philbrick, Kelsey Appert, Greta Titus and Amanda Suchanek who swam a 1:48.70 which is the fastest time by any CC quartet this season.   

15: Junior women’s basketball center Alexandra Lippert scored 15 points and collected 15 rebounds in the team’s 75-52 win over St. Scholastica on Saturday. It was Lippert’s first double-double of the season and eighth of her career.   

17: The Concordia women’s soccer team finished the 2012 season with 17 wins which is the second most in school history. The Cobbers finished their unbelievable year with a 17-4-2 overall record.

24: Senior men’s basketball player Aaron Lindahl had a game-high 24 points in the team’s season-opening win at UM-Morris. Lindahl went 10-12 from the field in his first game back after sitting out almost the entire 2011-12 season with a knee injury.    

35: The Cobber wrestling team posted 35 total victories in the Finn Grinaker Cobber Open on Saturday. Concordia had two individual weight champions, seven top 3 finishers and 10 top 5 finishers.

138: Cobber senior All-American women’s soccer player Sarah Rounds finished her career with 138 career points which breaks the all-time point record for Concordia. Rounds scored the team’s lone goal in a 2-1 loss at Washington Univ. in the Sweet 16 of the NCAA Tournament.  The score pushed Rounds ahead of Angie Tohm who set the previous record from 1993-96.
