MOORHEAD, Minn. (11/23/09)-- Concordia opened the scoring in their game against Northland in the third minute of play and went on to score three goals in each of the three periods and came away with a 9-3 win over the Lumberjacks. The Cobbers are now unbeaten in their last three games and move to 2-5-2 on the year.

He now leads the team with five goals and nine assists for 14 points on the year. Harrie had the game-winning goal and added two assists and now has nine points on the season.

The Cobbers scored two goals in the first 5:14 of the second period to put the game out of reach. Harrie and Thielen scored their first goals of the game to push CC out to a 5-1 lead. Pat Dietz would add the sixth Concordia goal. His tally was sandwiched in between a pair of goals from Northland's Ryan Pageau.
Concordia won the third period 3-0. Brian Kang scored his second goal of the year at the 3:41 mark after he was sent free on the goal on a passing sequence from Collen and Harrie. Harrie and Thielen then capped the scoring in the game with goals in the final six minutes of the game.
Concordia outshot the Lumberjacks 44-17 in the game. Cobber goalie Jacob Vatnsdal made 14 saves to earn his second win of the year. Northland netminder Shane Buckley stopped 35 shots in the losing effort.
