The Concordia volleyball team will be making its 12th

They are one of three MIAC teams to earn a spot in every league

2001.
The Cobbers are the reigning MIAC Tournament champions. CC

12-10 in all matches and 7-4 in conference play. They finished in a
tie for third place and are the No.3 seed for the playoffs. They
will face No.6 seed Bethel in the quarterfinal match on Tuesday.
Concordia downed the Royals 3-1 in their regular-season contest in
Moorhead on Sept. 19.
The Concordia women’s soccer team is the 2012 MIAC
regular-season champions and will have home-field advantage for the
length of their stay in the conference tournament. The Cobbers are
making their 10th straight appearance in the MIAC
postseason – the longest streak of any school in the
conference.
The Cobbers went 10-1 in MIAC play this season and won the league
title by a full three games. CC also went 14-3-1 in their 18 total
games. The 14 overall wins are the most since 2009 and the 10
league victories match the school-record total from 2009 and
2004.
CC will square off against St. Ben’s on Wednesday at 2 p.m.
It is a rematch of last year’s playoff title game which the
Blazers won by a 1-0 score. The teams also played in the 2012
regular-season finale with Concordia coming away with a 2-1 double
overtime win.
