The attention of the sporting world will NOT be focused on Concordia College this weekend, or in these United States of America. (Gasp!) Think bigger—literally, picture some behemoth of a man with arms the size of small children, bulging shoulder and neck muscles, a barrel chest and tree trunk-like legs. Now, keep picturing this man:…
With a surplus of freshman students on campus this year, sports have benefited with increased membership. Now the benches are completely full, instead of maybe half full or so.

A successful season is usually, and sometimes unfortunately, defined by the way it ends. The men’s golf team is looking to finish the season strong after a disappointing finish in the MIAC Championship and make the national tournament. “Our team did not play up to our potential this weekend, and we were very disappointed with…
Concordia’s freshmen are shaking up MIAC golf. The women’s golf team has finished up a very strong 2011 season; finishing fourth out of eleven schools competing in the MIAC conference championship. They finished in the top half of all of their tournaments this year, including a first place at the Cougar Invite in Morris, Minn….

A team that loses half of its starters from nearly every position on the field is usually due for the dreaded rebuilding year. Unless it’s the Concordia Women’s soccer team, and they throw a handful of freshman directly into the starting lineup, only to go undefeated for the first six games and garner the No….
I’m late; I’m late for a very important date. The opening week of the National Football League has come and gone, and I haven’t screamed my all-important predictions to the world. But better late than never, as I tell my employers. So here are my predictions, in all of their glory, for each division, both…

According to a recent study in the Journal of Athletic Training, boy’s soccer produces 22 concussions and girl’s soccer produces 36 for every…
