VIRGINIA, Minn. (04/03/22)---Concordia won two of the three doubles matches and all six singles bouts as they cruised past Wis.-Superior 8-1 to gain a split in their two matches along the shores of Lake Superior.

CC then responded by claiming their third win in the last four matches with their commanding 8-1 victory over the Yellowjackets.
