Male: Korrell Koehlmoos, Football

Baseball fall update: The 2022 Concordia Baseball team will be tasked with following up the greatest season in program history. Head Coach Ryan Dupic’s squad arrived back to campus this fall knowing the standard has been forever changed.

Football
· The 2021 season is now in the books for the Bulldogs, who will carry plenty of momentum into the offseason. Concordia put a bow on the campaign last week with a 17-7 victory at Hastings in a defensive slugfest. The Bulldogs limited the Broncos to just 233 total yards and got an interception apiece from Carson Core and Jorge Ochoa. Offensively, Jonah Weyand and Art Anderson found the end zone. Head Coach Patrick Daberkow’s squad concluded the year at 7-3 overall (and 7-3 in the GPAC) and placed in a tie for third place in the GPAC. For more information on Concordia Football, click HERE.
· Seven victories has been a marker of a strong season for the program. Since the program’s first season in 1925, 18 Bulldog squads have earned seven or more wins. Only five of those teams reached the eight-win mark. The 2001 team continues to own the program record for wins in a season with 10. The seven wins in 2021 are a high-water mark during Daberkow’s five years as head coach. On another note, Concordia has won six games in a row for the first time since the 2013 squad started that season at 6-0.
· By knocking off Hastings, the Bulldogs completed the sweep of Nebraska GPAC rivals. Not since 1970 had the program defeated Doane, Hastings and Midland in the same season. Concordia got it done against the in-state rivals with superior defense. The Bulldogs beat Midland, 21-7, Doane, 20-13, and Hastings, 17-7. Dating back to last season, Concordia has won five games in a row against Nebraska competition. The Bulldogs earned wins over Doane and Hastings last season, but did not play Midland due to a COVID-19 no contest. Concordia has won three in a row over Hastings and two in a row over Doane.
· David City, Neb., native Lane Napier has played his final game as a Bulldog. The All-American linebacker made 13 tackles (half a tackle for loss) at Hastings in again leading the team. That effort pushed his tackle totals to 134 for the season and 535 for his career. According to available records, that number would put Napier in the top 10 all-time tacklers in college football history, across all levels. As the GPAC leader in tackles, Napier should be a virtual lock to be named First Team All-GPAC for the fifth-straight season. He led the entire NAIA with 142 tackles in 2018 and was chosen as a First Team All-America selection by the Associated Press.
· The offense got solid play throughout this season from a veteran group of receivers. The top three targets have been Cayden Beran (43 catches for 495 yards and seven touchdowns), Korrell Koehlmoos (35 catches for 471 yards and four touchdowns) and Garrett Schardt (32 catches for 504 yards and five touchdowns). On the program’s all-time receptions list, Beran (129) has moved to No. 5 while Koehlmoos (126) sits at No. 6. Koehlmoos also ranks sixth for career receiving yards with 1,870. Three players in school history have surpassed 2,000 career receiving yards. Jared Garcia ranks No. 1 with 2,495 receiving yards.
· Weyand went over 100 yards rushing for the second game in a row and for the third time this season. The Crete High School product churned out 128 tough yards on 33 carries at Hastings. Weyand finished the season with 595 yards and three touchdowns on 143 attempts (4.2 yards/carry). Weyand’s rushing total was limited due to him missing three games because of injury/illness. At quarterback, DJ McGarvie finished his freshman season going 130-for-243 passing for 1,484 yards and a touchdown-to-interception ratio of 19-to-7. The 19 touchdown passes rank as the second highest single season total in program history.
· Napier should be a no-doubter for first team all-conference accolades while several other Bulldogs should also be in the running for postseason honors. Caydren Cox posted two more sacks at Hastings to run his season total to 9.5. He also registered 54 tackles, including 13 for loss, and forced two fumbles. Up front, Jordan Kavulak (9.0 tackles for loss, 4.5 sacks) was the team’s most disruptive force. At safety, Peyton Mitchell played through injury and made 27 tackles while picking off three passes. Mitchell and Gabe Knisley shared the team lead in interceptions.
· At 7-3, Concordia was likely one upset away from garnering much more serious consideration as an NAIA playoff team. As announced on Sunday, the playoff qualifiers from the GPAC are the usual suspects in Morningside and Northwestern. Under then Head Coach Courtney Meyer, the 2001 Bulldogs became the first team in school history to play (and win) in the NAIA playoffs.
Volleyball
· A run to the GPAC tournament championship match locked up an automatic bid to the NAIA national tournament, where the Bulldogs will appear for the third-straight season. On Monday, Concordia learned that it will host an NAIA opening round match this Saturday. The opening round draw is a reward for the Bulldogs winning five-straight matches down the stretch, including two over NAIA top five teams in the GPAC tournament. Head Coach Ben Boldt’s squad will enter the national tournament at 16-11 overall. For more information on Concordia Volleyball, click HERE.
· There was a point when the Bulldogs appeared to be in danger of missing the GPAC tournament. Then came the five-game win streak that included triumphs over No. 15 Dakota Wesleyan, No. 14 Northwestern, No. 5 Midland and No. 5 College of Saint Mary. Concordia was attempting to complete the daunting task of winning on the home court of each of the GPAC’s top three seeds during the conference tournament. The Bulldogs ran into a buzzsaw in the form of No. 1 Jamestown in the GPAC final. The Jimmies (31-0) remained undefeated while piling up 49 kills and hitting .342 in the straight sets win over Concordia.
· The win at fifth-ranked College of Saint Mary in the GPAC semifinals on Nov. 10 will live on as a memorable one. The Bulldogs missed a chance to end the match in the fourth set and then got down 4-1 to start the fifth. Concordia hasn’t blinked in these situations over the past few weeks. The Bulldogs rallied back and got match point on Camryn Opfer’s 12th kill of the night. It was a huge night for Gabi Nordaker, who led the Bulldogs with 17 kills and 12 blocks. Opfer added 16 digs and Carly Rodaway chipped in with 10 kills. In a defensive battle, Concordia outhit the Flames, .158 to .110.
· Opfer’s career kills total has moved to 889, a number that ranks 13th in program history. Her 335 kills this season are a career high. The Seward High School product racked up 316 kills in 2019 when she was named the GPAC Freshman of the Year. In school history, eight players have reached 1,000 career kills. The most recent player to hit that mark was Paige Getz, who tallied 1,331 kills and was a key figure on the 2015 national qualifying team. All-American Emmie Noyd (973 kills) finished her career just shy of the mark.
· The 1981 and 1995 Concordia Volleyball teams garnered induction into the school’s Athletic Hall of Fame, but in terms of national prominence, this is the golden age for the program. Prior to 2015, the Bulldogs had never appeared on the national stage. Under the direction of the Boldts, Concordia has achieved final NAIA national rankings of 14th in 2019 and eighth in 2020. The team’s NAIA ranking of No. 6 earlier this season represented the loftiest national ranking in program history. The 2020 Bulldogs made their way to the national quarterfinals, another feat that had not been previously accomplished in school history.
· Concordia’s statistical leaders this season are Opfer in kills (335) and digs (321), Tara Callahan in assists (1,016), Nordaker in hitting percentage (.361) and blocks (99) and Kennedy VanScoy in aces (28). Callahan has pushed her career assist total to 4,675 (No. 2 on the program’s all-time list). Four other Concordia hitters have at least 125 kills in 2021: Nordaker (304), Erica Heinzerling (236), Carly Rodaway (149) and Kalee Wiltfong (126). Arleigh Costello is next in line with 91 kills.
· The Bulldogs are 5-4 all-time in national tournament matches. All of those contests have come since the 2015 season. The victories have come against Montana Tech (2019), University of Saint Mary (2019), Xavier University of Louisiana (2020), Lindsey Wilson College (2020) and Marian University (Ind.). Concordia hosted an opening round match in 2015 and lost in three sets to Olivet Nazarene University (Ill.). In last season’s opening round, the Bulldogs traveled to New Orleans and defeated Xavier in four sets.
· Concordia will welcome Ave Maria University (Fla.) to Seward on Saturday for a match slated to get underway at 1 p.m. CT from Friedrich Arena. The Gyrenes will make their first-ever appearance at the national tournament. The winner will advance to play at the final site of the NAIA Volleyball National Championship, the Tyson Events Center in Sioux City, Iowa. The Bulldogs will host an opening round match for the second time in program history (first time since 2015).
Women’s Basketball
· Concordia played just once last week while going six days without a game. The Bulldogs returned to action on Nov. 13 and began conference play with a 74-68 loss at Briar Cliff. Concordia is 2-2 overall with wins over Bellevue University and No. 13 Dakota State University (S.D.). Four GPAC conference games took place over the weekend in women’s basketball. The game in Sioux City, Iowa, was the first road test of the season for Head Coach Drew Olson’s squad. For more information on Concordia Women’s Basketball, click HERE.
· The Bulldogs got down by as many as 17 points in the first half of the loss at Briar Cliff. They made a push late in the game, but never could cut the deficit to fewer than six points. Concordia lost despite owning a plus-eight turnover margin. Two Bulldogs reached double figures in scoring, Taysha Rushton (16) and Taylor Farrell (10), while Kayla Luebbe (nine points on 4-for-5 shooting) gave a nice performance off the bench. An 11-for-19 (.579) effort from the foul line came back to haunt Concordia. For the Chargers, Madelyn Deitchler topped all scorers with 20 points. She also added eight rebounds.
· Through four games, Rushton ranks 23rd nationally in scoring average at 21.0 points per game. Her shooting percentages figure to rise from where they currently stand – 32.4 percent from the field and 26.8 percent from 3-point range. Rushton’s 32 points in the season opener versus Bellevue represented a career high. Rushton could challenge for the highest single season scoring average during Olson’s tenure (which began with the 2006-07 season). Bailey Morris’ average of 19.3 points in 2013-14 is the current high during Olson’s time leading Concordia.
· A key offensively is to continue to develop scoring options beyond Rushton. So far, there’s been plenty of balance. Five Bulldogs other than Rushton are averaging 6.5 points or more, including Abby Heemstra (10.5), Rylee Pauli (9.0), Kayla Luebbe (7.8), Sadie Powell (6.8) and Taylor Farrell (6.5). The team shooting percentages stand at 37.9 from the floor, 27.1 from beyond the arc and 65.6 from the free throw line. Perimeter shooting has always been a component of the program’s success. Last season’s team ranked eighth nationally with an average of 10.1 treys per game.
· Among GPAC opponents, there are a couple of surprise teams that sport unblemished records – College of Saint Mary (7-0, 1-0 GPAC) and Doane (6-0, 1-0 GPAC). Notably, both Dordt and Northwestern defeated fourth-ranked Marian University (Ind.) last week. The Red Raiders are the lone program in the GPAC with a new head coach (Kristin Robert). Reigning GPAC champion Morningside has lost twice outside of the conference but has since rebounded and defeated Dakota Wesleyan, 73-63, over the weekend.
· This will be a typical week of conference action with a Wednesday-Saturday alignment. Concordia will host Midland (3-1, 0-0 GPAC) at 6 p.m. CT on Wednesday before heading to Sioux Center, Iowa, to clash with Dordt (5-1, 0-0 GPAC) at 2 p.m. on Saturday. The Bulldogs split last season’s regular season meetings with Midland (road team won both times) and swept the regular season from Dordt.
Men’s Basketball
· The past week included one nail-biter of a nonconference contest and then a clunker in Sioux City, Iowa, in the GPAC opener. While hosting Peru State College on Nov. 9, Concordia rallied from an eight-point deficit and edged the Bobcats, 91-90, thanks to a trey from Ryan Holt in the final seconds. Four days later, the Bulldogs were cold as ice in a rough 65-48 loss at Briar Cliff. It marked the first blemish this season for Head Coach Ben Limback’s squad, which is 5-1 overall (0-1 GPAC). For more information on Concordia Men’s Basketball, click HERE.
· From a pure fan perspective, the clash with Peru State was wildly entertaining. Both teams shot better than 50 percent from the floor in a back-and-forth affair. The Bulldogs built a 12-point lead in the first half and later faced an eight-point deficit with less than six minutes left in the game. Holt poured in a career high 24 points on the strength of 10-for-14 shooting from the floor. He was joined in double figures by four teammates: Carter Kent (19), Gage Smith (18), Noah Schutte (13) and AJ Watson (10). Their offensive prowess helped Concordia overcome 32 points from Jibril Harris and 14 Bobcat 3-point field goals.
· There were not many positives to take away from the game at Briar Cliff. The Bulldogs shot a miserable 1-for-21 from beyond the arc and faced a double-digit deficit for the entirety of the final 17:45 in game time. Meanwhile, Charger Jaden Kleinhesselink poured in 21 points while making 4-of-5 shots from long range. To compound matters, Concordia committed 17 turnovers. One of the lone bright spots was the play of Schutte, who recorded 16 points and seven rebounds. Watson chipped in 11 points.
· Justin Wiersema enters the week with a chance to add his name to the program’s list of 1,000-point scorers. His current total stands at 980 through 89 career collegiate games. Wiersema’s game took off last season when he averaged 16.4 points, 5.0 rebounds, 3.0 assists and 1.6 steals per game and was named First Team All-GPAC. Among active players, Kent’s 1,238 points are the most. That total puts Kent 19th in program history, just behind current graduate assistant coach Brevin Sloup (1,246).
· Three conference men’s basketball games took place within the GPAC over the weekend. In other action, Doane defeated Mount Marty, 82-58, and No. 12 Morningside topped Dakota Wesleyan, 74-57. Concordia’s loss at Briar Cliff means that only two GPAC teams are still undefeated overall this season: No. 19 Jamestown (6-0) and Northwestern (6-0). The Bulldogs are one of four teams with one loss. The others are Dordt (6-1), Midland (5-1) and Morningside (3-1). Concordia’s 14 GPAC wins last season equaled a program record for a single season.
· It will be exclusively conference play this week as the Bulldogs look forward to hosting Midland (5-1, 0-0 GPAC) at 7:45 p.m. CT on Wednesday. Then on Saturday, Concordia will be in Sioux Center, Iowa, to take on Dordt (6-1, 0-0 GPAC) at 3:45 p.m. The Bulldogs have won each of the past five meetings over Midland. Concordia and Dordt split last season’s two regular season matchups (home team won both times).
Wrestling
· The first home appearance of the 2021-22 season came last week as the Bulldogs hosted Hastings for a GPAC dual on Nov. 11. The Broncos won seven of 10 matches and spoiled the evening, claiming a 29-17 victory. Two days later, a small group of five represented Concordia at the Dakota Wesleyan Open in Mitchell, S.D. It marked the third tournament this season for Head Coach Myron Bradbury’s squad. For more information on Concordia Wrestling, click HERE.
· After forfeiting the 125-pound match in last week’s dual, Hastings went on to claim the next seven matches and clinch the team win. Bulldog fans finally had something to cheer about when Mason Garcia (tech fall at 197) and Jacob Telles (pin at 285) came through with dominant victories. Those performances helped salvage the night to some degree. The Broncos stole the show by winning four matches with bonus points, including pins at 141 and 157. Telles is the GPAC’s reigning heavyweight champ and is ranked 19th in the NAIA in his weight class.
· A native of Arroyo Grande, Calif., Garcia has been impressive through his first six bouts of the season. It began at the York College Open where Garcia went 5-0 with five pins took first place in the 197-pound weight class. Garcia then came within an eyelash of pinning Hastings’ Trent Nafzinger before settling for an 18-1 tech fall win. Meanwhile, the pin the dual marked the first match this season for Telles, who led the team with 33 wins and was a national qualifier last season. Fellow national qualifier Mario Ybarra (2021 All-American) still has yet to begin his season.
· In recent years, Concordia has experienced plenty of success in GPAC duals. Dating back to the 2014-15 season, the Bulldogs have won or shared the GPAC regular season title in five of seven seasons. From 2014-15 through the start of 2017-18, the program won 22 consecutive GPAC duals. Concordia went 7-0 in GPAC duals each season from 2014-15 through 2016-17 and then went 8-0 in 2019-20. Since the start of the 2014-15 campaign, the Bulldogs are a combined 44-10 in conference duals.
· With a light field at the DWU Open for the Bulldogs, there wasn’t a lot to take away. Each of Isaac Agabin’s matches at 133 ended in falls. The Las Vegas native pinned Hector Holguin of York College and Andy Rojas of Hastings. The other Concordia victory on the day was produced by Adam Roberts, who earned a 10-4 decision over Augustana University (S.D.)’s Thurman Christensen at 125. Three Bulldogs went 0-2 at the open: Jose Sanchez (165), Trenton Wills (174) and Isaac Renas (197). Agabin was the lone Concordia grappler to wrestle in both the dual versus Hastings and the tournament in Mitchell.
· There’s a bit of a break from dual meets now as the Bulldogs turn their attention to Saturday’s University of Nebraska-Kearney Open. Action is slated to get underway at 9 a.m. CT. Concordia will then be off from competition during the week of Thanksgiving.
Cross Country
· The 2021 season is in the books with the exception of those individuals who have qualified for the national championships. At the GPAC Championships hosted by Northwestern in Orange City, Iowa, on Nov. 6, the Bulldogs turned in place finishes of fourth on the men’s side and fifth on the women’s side. Those results fell short of what would have been necessary for Concordia to qualify for nationals from a team perspective. The GPAC meet marked the fifth meet of the season for Head Coach Matt Beisel’s squads. For more information on Concordia Cross Country, click HERE.
· The Concordia men finished with 122 points at the conference meet and placed fourth behind Dordt (15), Doane (71) and Northwestern (85). For the fifth meet in a row this season, the Bulldogs were paced by the Kearney, Neb., native Camden Sesna. He placed seventh in the conference with an 8k time of 26:34.08. The fourth-place claim as a team ranks as high as any GPAC finish for the Bulldogs since coming in at No. 3 in 2013. The men’s program last celebrated a conference championship in 2012.
· Considering the women’s team was ranked first or second in the GPAC all fall, the result on Saturday was hard to swallow. The Bulldogs accumulated 110 points at the conference meet, putting them behind Dordt (54), Hastings (77), Morningside (79) and Doane (105). It wasn’t the ending Concordia had trained for, but there were many thrilling moments. The Bulldogs rose as high as No. 11 in the NAIA coaches’ poll this season. They were ranked 21st in the nation entering last weekend and had hoped to compete for a GPAC title. The women’s program won the 2019 conference championship.
· The top 15 individual finishers for both men and women all earn All-GPAC accolades. Concordia wound up with three all-conference runners: Rylee Haecker (seventh), Camden Sesna (seventh) and Calvin Rohde (10th). Each of those three Bulldogs picked up cross country all-conference awards for the first time in their careers and will be headed to the NAIA national meet as individual national qualifiers. The team and individual qualifiers were officially announced by the NAIA on Nov. 9. Sesna and Rohde will be the first Concordia men’s runners to compete at nationals since Ben Sievert in 2014.
· Below is a list of the official GPAC place finishes and times recorded by the Bulldogs in the women’s 5k race.
7. Rylee Haecker – 19:19.69
25. Keri Bauer – 20:18.19

· The season will resume this week for the trio of Haecker, Rohde and Sesna, who will take part in the 2021 NAIA Cross Country National Championships. The meet will be held in Vancouver, Wash., on Friday. The location is the same as 2019 when the Bulldog women qualified and placed 12th in the NAIA. The men’s 8k race will get started at 10:30 a.m. local time in Vancouver with the women’s 5k to follow at 11:30 a.m.
