Recap - Box Score
ST. PETER-- After suffering
a gut-wrenching and dream-dashing loss in the quarterfinals of the MIAC
championship tournament on Friday, Concordia responded by winning a pair
of matches on Saturday and claiming fifth place at the conference meet.
The Cobbers beat Hamline 5-4 to start the day, and then finished the tournament
by pounding St. Olaf 7-2.
The fifth place finish is
one place higher than Concordia finished last season and is the best finish
since the 2003 season when the Cobbers finished fourth.
The two victories push Concordia's
overall record to 12-6 on the year. That is the most victories by a Cobber
team since the 1992 team went 12-8 and also finished fifth at the MIAC
tournament.(More)

Cobbers Succumb to Sequel
Blues, Lose 5-4 to St. John's in MIAC Quarterfinals.
Matchday: Matchday
Recap - Box Score
ST. PETER-- It was only
five days ago that Concordia dug a 0-3 hole in doubles play against St.
John's and climbed all the way out by winning the singles competition 5-1
and the overall match 5-4. The Cobbers tried to follow the exact same script
in their MIAC quarterfinal match with the Johnnies on Friday, but unfortunately,
as is the case with all sequels, the remake was not as good as the original.
Concordia lost all three
doubles matches but fell one single match short in their attempt to make
the MIAC semifinals for the first time since the 2003 season. In the end,
the Cobbers fell 5-4 to the Johnnies and will have to settle for trying
to win the fifth-place consolation bracket.(More) |

Super Singles Play Helps
Cobbers to Huge Comeback Win Over St. John's!
Matchday: Matchday
Recap - Box Score
MOORHEAD-- Things looked
pretty bleak for the Cobbers after the completion of their doubles competition
against St. John's. Concordia had lost the day before in a white-knuckler
to regionally-ranked Carleton, and were now down 3-0 to the Johnnies after
the first three doubles matches. To make matters worse, if Concordia did
not dig themselves out of the three-match hole, they would fall all the
way into fifth place in the final regular season standings in the MIAC.
Over the course of the next
hour, the Cobbers proceeded to pull off one of the greatest comebacks in
program history and nip St. John's 5-4 at the wire. Led by senior Jake
Thomas playing in his usual #1 singles spot, Concordia won the
first five singles matches and leaped over the Johnnies to gain sole possession
of fourth place in the conference heading into the MIAC tournament on April
29-30.(More)

MOORHEAD-- If a stranger
happened to be passing by the Jake Christiansen Athletic Complex tennis
courts on Saturday and had no knowledge of college tennis, that person
would have walked away from the tension-filled match between Concordia
and Carleton a huge collegiate tennis fan.
The Cobbers and regionally-ranked
Knights staged a gritty, three-hour match that came down to the final two
singles matches of the day.
Trailing 2-1 after the doubles
competition, Concordia needed to win four of the singles matches to claim
the victory and have a chance at securing a place in the top three of the
conference.(More) |

Cobbers Show Maturity
as They Roll Over Valley City State 9-0.
Matchday: Matchday
Recap - Box Score
MOORHEAD-- Concordia used
their last non-conference dual match as a testament to how far the program
has come. A day after beating Bethel 8-1, the Cobbers avoided a letdown
and showed their commitment to becoming a top flight program by rolling
over Valley City State 9-0.
In past seasons, Concordia
would have come out flat and struggled to beat the overmatched Vikings,
but on the day after Cornstalk, the Cobbers showed their maturity by overwhelming
Valley City with their talent and hard work.
All three of the doubles
matches and all six singles matches were never in doubt as Concordia cruised
to their ninth dual win of the season. The doubles teams did not allow
the Vikings more than three games in any match and all the singles matches
were straight sets.(More)

collegiate tennis.(More) |

Matchday: Matchday
Recap - Box Score
BROOKINGS, S.D.-- In an
athletic year marked by historic winning streaks, pencil in the Concordia
men's tennis team as the next program on the list to string together a
school-record winning streak. In the fall, the Cobber football and volleyball
teams ran off impressive winning streaks. The winter brought the women's
basketball team and their extensive unbeaten string. Now in the spring,
the men's tennis team has tied the program record for most consecutive
victories in a single season.
The Cobbers used their depth
in the singles department to overcome NCAA Division I opponent South Dakota
State 7-2. After losing two of the three doubles matches, the Cobbers won
all six singles matches to record their seventh straight victory. The win
pushes Concordia's record to 7-3 on the season. The Jackrabbits lose their
fifth straight match and are now 1-5 on the year.(More) |

WINONA-- When you are on
a roll in sports anything is possible. You have a tendency to manufacture
your own good breaks and winning seems as easy as being one of the heirs
to the Hilton fortune. The Concordia men's tennis team is officially on
a roll and life is nothing but winners and passing shots!
The Cobbers outlasted St.
Mary's 6-3 to pick up their sixth straight victory. The only other time
that Concordia has posted a six-match winning string was back in 1992 when
they also won six straight. The win also extracted a small amount of revenge
for last year when the Cardinals turned the tides on the Cobbers and came
away with a 6-3 win of their own. Concordia is now 6-3 on the year and
improves their MIAC mark to 4-1. St. Mary's falls to 4-8 overall and 0-4

that Gustavus has won 31 of the past 34 MIAC championships. They are good,
really good. The Gusties are like the big kid on the block that no one
can overcome. On Saturday, the conference "big kid" flexed its collective
muscles as they rolled to a 9-0 victory over Concordia. The good news for
Concordia is that despite not winning a match, the Cobbers played Gustavus
