2000 Season Preview
The 1999 Concordia men's golf team went through a period of adjustment. The team had a new coach, Peter Hovde, and they also had to find a way to replace their top two golfers from 1998.  The 2000 Cobber golf team will hope a year of familiarity will help bring them back to the top of the MIAC. Seth Johnson (Sr., Devils Lake, ND) will lead the team, as he posted a career high ninth place finish in the MIAC last year. He was also the team's number one golfer from a year ago with a 78.1 average.  Also coming back to add depth to the team will be junior Mike Hagen (Moorhead, MN) who was an all conference performer in 1998 and earned all academic honors last year.  He finished last year as Concordia's number two golfer with a 79.8 average. Sophomore Adam Hanson (Barrett, MN, West Central Area H.S.) should benefit from a years experience, and give the Cobbers a strong core of golfers. The team will also rely on a number of young golfers that will challenge for the remaining two spots on the team.
