Hype. Team. Mental and physical toughness. What’s the first sport that comes to mind when hearing these words? Football? Basketball? For the men’s head golf coach, Duane Siverson and a couple of his golfers, senior Jordie Siverson and sophomore Coy Papachek, these words were part of normal conversation. “It’s certainly not as glamorous as it…
The final Concordian sports column this year could only be about baseball because I am a die-hard Twins fan. All the doubters need to be aware that the Twins do have a chance this year. April has always been tough on the Twins. They haven’t hit a winning streak yet, but they also haven’t been…
With the lovely warm weather bringing cheer to Cobbers all over campus, many students may want to be more physically active. Although it may seem strange to think of joining a club at the end of the year, one club that welcomes anyone to come play at any time is Concordia’s tennis club. Captains…
The Men’s golf team is off to a good start this season. The team reached a final score of 298 for their first spring meet at the St. John’s Triangular on April 6. St. John’s came in at 297, leaving the Cobbers in 2nd Place behind the nationally ranked team. Visit the athletics homepage here…
Congratulations to the Concordia Women’s Hockey team for making it all the way to the NCAA Quarterfinals.

This was their first NCAA Tournament…

How do those old playground rhymes go? Oh yeah, like this: “Girls rule; boys drool.” Or the ever-classic “boys go to Jupiter to get more stupider; girls go to college to get more knowledge.” But between those days of name calling-equality underneath the monkey bars and now, a lot happened: girls got cooties, boys got…
The Cobber Women’s hockey team is having one of the best seasons in program history, and they look to continue that success going forward. Occasionally, numbers and statistics don’t make sense upon first glance. For example, the women’s hockey team has been nationally ranked since Nov. 28, 2011. They have been in the top ten…
When you think of sports, you probably think some of the following: body paint on a middle-aged man’s beer belly; chest-bumps; foam fingers that read “#1”; a 300-plus-pound behemoth of an athlete nicknamed Tiny; and religion. Whoa, wait; double-take. Religion? That’s exactly right. After the 2011-2012 National Football League season, it’s probably true for many…
The Concordia Women’s Tennis team served a strong season opener against St. Scholastica on Feb. 4. Last year the Saints defeated the Cobbers, but this wasn’t the case this year. The Cobbers won four singles matches to bring home a 6-3 win. Seniors Andrea Rognlien and Kelly Kalvoda, junior Chelsie McGraw and freshman Emma Koskiniemi…
