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…

Congratulations to the Concordia Women’s Hockey team for making it all the way to the NCAA Quarterfinals. Despite their 5-2 loss to #1 ranked RIT women’s hockey team, “the head coach Brett Bruininks thought his team played well…,” according to gocobberblog. “The Concordia women finished with a 15-6-5- record. This was their first NCAA Tournament…
Zach Frappier pitched all 7 innings in the first of two winning games against Luther during a doubleheader at the Metrodome on March 10. The cobber men will return to the Metrodome on March 16 and 17 for another doubleheader against Loras (Iowa) at 2:00 p.m. on Friday at 7:00 a.m. on Saturday.
