Movin' On Up - Cobbers Head Into Top 20
MOORHEAD, Minn. (10/16/12)—Concordia moved into the top 20 of the latest National Soccer Coaches Association (NSCAA) national rankings it was released on Tuesday. The Cobbers moved up three positions from last week and are now ranked 20th in the nation.
In addition to moving up in the national poll, Concordia also climbed in the regional rankings. The Cobbers are now the top team in North Region.

Concordia is now 10-3-1 on the year and has won six of their last seven games. It marks the 10th straight season the Cobbers have won at least 10 games in a season. CC is also 6-1-0 in the MIAC and stands atop the league standings – two games ahead of the closest team.
