This past summer, Concordia’s athletic department welcomed Benjamin Schneweis as the new head coach of men’s soccer. Schneweis brings ample experience on the field, both as a player and a coach. In addition to playing in high school, Schneweis played soccer for Brescia University, a small liberal arts college in Owensboro, Kentucky. “I fell in…
On July 11, men’s cross-country coach Garrick Larson began feeling fatigued during a run. Larson guessed he might have been coming down with Lyme disease for the second time in two years, but the flu-like symptoms he was experiencing stuck with him for an extended period of time.

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…

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.
