MOORHEAD, Minn. (11/16/24)---If Concordia's second game of the weekend against a quality WIAC opponent was a baseball game it would have been a pitcher's duel between Clayton Kershaw and Justin Verlander.
The Cobbers' game against Wis.-River Falls was a defensive battle for the full 60 minutes with goals being hard to come by and the first team to score won. The Cobbers conceded the only goal of the game midway through the third period and lost 1-0 to the Falcons.
