MOORHEAD, Minn. (10/29/12)—A pair of Concordia teams will host MIAC playoff games this week.

Both contests will feature live statistics. The volleyball match will also have a live video feed. All live broadcasts can be accessed through gocobbers.com.

The Concordia volleyball team will be making its 12^th consecutive appearance in the conference postseason tournament. They are one of three MIAC teams to earn a spot in every league playoffs since the MIAC went to a single-elimination format in 2001.

The Cobbers are the reigning MIAC Tournament champions. CC defeated St. Thomas in last year’s title match. Concordia is 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 10^th 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.
