MOORHEAD, Minn. (2/26/16)—Sophomore Tori Davis led a group of six Concordia players who earned MIAC postseason honors.
It is the third straight season that the Cobbers have had six players earn conference postseason honors.
Davis was named to the MIAC All-Conference Team while Hannah Johnston, Andrea Klug, Amber Schaack and Anna Westmark all received All-MIAC Honorable Mention honors.
Abby Kratzke was the team's selection for the All-MIAC Sportsmanship Team.
Davis, Johnston, Schaack, Westmark and Kratzke all receive league awards for the first time in their career while Klug earns her second straight All-Conference Honorable Mention award.
The quintet of players helped the Cobbers advance to the semifinals of the MIAC playoffs for the sixth straight season. The team posted a 13-11-1 record during the regular season and went 11-7-0 in conference play. Concordia finished in fourth place in the final league standings and beat St. Mary's in the quarterfinals of the conference tournament.

Davis had at least one goal in nine of the team's 19 league games. She had four multiple-goal games and scored a career-high three goals in the team's 3-0 win over St. Olaf on Feb. 13. Her three-goal output led to Davis being named the MIAC Player of the Week.

Klug was a wall in goal for the Cobbers all season long. She finished the year with a school-record eight shutouts and 14 wins. She appeared in all 18 league games for CC and posted a record of 11-7-0. Klug had a 1.82 goals against average and a 93.3% save percentage. She was named the MIAC Player of the Week on back-to-back weeks at the end of November.
Schaack was an offensive threat on the top line for the Cobbers and helped Concordia finish with 41 goals in 18 conference games. Schaack finished the year with eight goals and eight assists for 16 points in all games and had five goals and seven assists for 12 points in MIAC games. All of her stat totals were career highs.
