Shooting Sports breaks school trap record, places second at Warrior Open: The second outing of the season proved fruitful as the Bulldogs placed second overall at the Midland Warrior Open (Sept. 17-18) while breaking the program record in trap shooting with a 497/500 (previous standard was 491). The team’s top five shooters combined to crack 1,399 targets. Freshmen Tanner Muff and Katie Welker both ran 100 straight in trap in eye-popping performances. Not only did he shoot 100 in trap, Muff also totaled 96 in skeet and 89 in sporting clays for an HOA figure of 285. Only three shooters in the entire event turned in a higher score than Muff. The remainder of Concordia’s top five HOA were Wyatt Hambly (283), Moore (278), Breyer Meeks (277) and Buchannan Tietjen (276). The team’s top three female shooters were Emily Uitermarkt (261), Jessie Ciezki (252) and Angie Wolfert (252). For more on the Concordia Shooting Sports program, click HERE.
Tennis sends 18 competitors to GPAC Individual Tournament: Nine Bulldogs apiece from the Concordia men’s and women’s tennis programs tested themselves against conference foes in a bracket-style singles/doubles GPAC tournament this past weekend (Sept. 16-17) at Woods Tennis Center in Lincoln, Neb. The major highlights for Head Coach Cam Long’s squads were championships won by Kylie Freudenburg in flight D singles and Tessa Blough and Alana Lopez Pagan in flight A doubles. In addition, Freudenburg teamed up with Gabrielle Heiser on a flight D doubles runner-up claim and Brooke Hosick (flight C singles) and Juan Rabellino (flight C singles) were semifinalists in their respective brackets. Also last week, both Bulldog teams traveled to Bethel College (Kan.) on Sept. 13. The men came away with a 4-3 win while the women dropped a 4-3 decision.

Volleyball
· This is shaping up to be another special season for the Bulldogs, who took care of two GPAC opponents in straight sets last week. Firstly, Concordia went to Doane and won in three (25-18, 25-22, 25-19) and then performed in stunningly dominant fashion in a home victory over No. 13 College of Saint Mary (25-14, 26-24, 25-13). The rest during the weekend of Sept. 9-10 appeared to energize Head Coach Ben Boldt’s squad, which believes it can beat any team in the nation. The Bulldogs have moved to 12-1 overall (3-1 GPAC) with the one blemish being the five-setter at now top-ranked Midland. For more information on Concordia Volleyball, click HERE.
· In the NAIA coaches’ poll released on Sept. 14, the Bulldogs moved up from 10th to eighth. The GPAC continues to dominate the national poll with seven teams ranked in the top 25: No. 1 Midland, No. 4 Jamestown, No. 7 Northwestern, No. 8 Concordia, No. 13 College of Saint Mary, No. 14 Dordt and No. 18 Dakota Wesleyan. Right after being minted as the NAIA’s top team, Midland lost in five sets at Hastings, as a sign of the league’s depth. Only one GPAC team has yet to suffer a conference defeat: Jamestown (2-0).
· The Bulldogs had actually lost in their most recent visit to the Haddix Center. This time around, the power of Gabi Nordaker and Kalee Wiltfong was on display in the middle. They combined for 19 kills while both hitting above .500. Nordaker produced 11 kills and five blocks while Camryn Opfer totaled 10 kills and eight digs. Wiltfong and Ashley Keck chipped in with eight kills apiece. For the night, Concordia outhit Doane, .314 to .167. The Bulldogs faced their most adversity in the third set when they trailed 15-10. Concordia then turned on the jets and throttled the Tigers the rest of the way.
· Boldt described the match against CSM as the cleanest the Bulldogs have played so far in 2022. On the attack, Concordia floored 50 kills against just nine errors for a .380 hitting percentage. Nordaker enjoyed another big night in hitting .545 with 13 kills and three blocks. Keck equaled her kill output and hit .500 from the outside. Three other teammates had at least five kills: Carly Rodaway (nine), Wiltfong (eight) and Opfer (five). The maestro of the team, Bree Burtwistle tossed up 43 assists (75 for the week) in leading one of the nation’s most productive attacks. In the back row, Rebecca Gebhardt notched 16 digs.
· There are some matches where the power of the Bulldogs simply overwhelms the opposition. Nationally, Concordia ranks fourth in hitting percentage (.276) and fifth in kills per set (13.91). The Stanton, Neb., native Burtwistle deserves mention as one of the nation’s best setters. She ranks fifth among NAIA setters with an average of 11.0 assists per set. She’s helped pave the way for Nordaker to rank sixth nationally in hitting percentage (.379). Four Bulldogs have at least 100 kills this season: Nordaker (150), Opfer (127), Rodaway (120) and Keck (116).
· Two road trips are on the slate this week. Concordia will head to Yankton, S.D., to take on Mount Marty (6-6, 1-3 GPAC) at 7:30 p.m. CT on Wednesday. The Bulldogs will close the week by traveling to No. 14 Dordt (7-3, 1-1 GPAC) for a 5 p.m. first serve on Saturday. While there won’t be a chance this week to see Concordia in Seward, six home matches remain on the regular season slate.
Football
· An early bye in the schedule led to an early homecoming date on the 2022 calendar. The Bulldogs appeared on their way to a happy homecoming when they mounted a 17-2 third quarter advantage over rival Hastings. Unfortunately, the Broncos rallied and totaled the game’s final 19 points in a 21-17 win for the visitors. Head Coach Patrick Daberkow’s squad fell to 0-2 with the two losses coming by a combined margin of six points. Concordia had not played since its 12-10 loss at Doane on Sept. 3. For more information on Concordia Football, click HERE.
· The big play abilities of receiver Korrell Koehlmoos were on display this past Saturday. The fifth-year standout from Pilger, Neb., hauled in touchdown receptions of eight yards in the first quarter and 56 yards in the third quarter. Koehlmoos also had a 43-yard catch that set up his first touchdown. The 15-point cushion, coupled with the presence of a stout Bulldog defense, seemed to mean that the game was well in hand. However, Concordia committed four turnovers and Hastings took advantage of short fields with scoring drives that covered 50, 55 and 17 yards, respectively. After Koehlmoos’ touchdown with 12:44 left in the third quarter, the Bulldog offense managed only 119 total yards the rest of the way.
· Koehlmoos continues to move up the program’s all-time receiving lists. With his six catches for 143 yards and two touchdowns versus Hastings, Koehlmoos became the fourth player in program history to eclipse 2,000 career receiving yards. In school history, Koehlmoos currently ranks third in receiving yards (2,025), fifth in receptions (134) and fifth in receiving touchdowns (14). The school records in each of those categories are 2,495 receiving yards (Jared Garcia), 168 receptions (Ross Wurdeman) and 35 receiving touchdowns (Garcia). Over the weekend, Koehlmoos moved past 2022 Concordia Athletic Hall of Fame inductee Clarence Woods on the receiving yards list.
· The defense surrendered a modest 294 yards to the Broncos in last week’s loss. Despite major personnel losses at the linebacker position, the Bulldogs continue to field a sturdy unit under coordinator Corby Osten. On the NAIA national leaderboard, Concordia ranks 31st (out of 98) in total defense (286.0) and 25th in scoring defense (16.5). Leading the way so far has been linebacker Michael Grindey, who now has 27 tackles this season after making 14 stops last week. In addition, safety Isiaha Conner has recorded two interceptions and a fumble recovery. Defensive end Kyle Sterup has registered two sacks.
· At quarterback, Austin Jablonski has started the first two games. He collected his first two career touchdown passes last week before giving way to DJ McGarvie. A native of Valparaiso, Neb., McGarvie started all 10 games last season as a true freshman. So far this season, Jablonski has gone 19-for-49 passing for 242 yards, two touchdowns and two interceptions. In the season opener at Doane, Jablonski ran for 95 yards and a touchdown. In relief duty versus Hastings, McGarvie completed 16-of-24 passes for 114 yards.
· One focus moving forward will be on getting the running game on track. Through two games, the Bulldogs have netted 187 rushing yards on 65 attempts, which calculates to an average of 2.9 yards per rush. Other than an early 28-yard rush by Devin Zeigler, the Concordia running game struggled to find consistency against the Broncos (3-1, 2-1 GPAC). Zeigler is the team’s leading rusher with 100 yards on 30 carries so far this season. Mark Arp and Carter Seim have also seen time in the backfield.
· A significant challenge awaits the Bulldogs this weekend as they ready to play at No. 4 Northwestern (2-1, 2-1 GPAC) at 1 p.m. CT on Saturday. Concordia’s most recent win over the Red Raiders occurred in 2016 by a 9-7 score in Seward. Northwestern is well-established as one of the GPAC’s powerhouses and is coming off back-to-back blowout wins – 54-7 over Dakota Wesleyan and 48-3 over Jamestown.
Cross Country
· Meet No. 2 of the 2022 season unfolded this past Saturday as the Bulldogs joined a field of more than 30 institutions at the Greeno/Dirksen Invitational co-hosted by the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and Nebraska Wesleyan University. When broken down by “Gold Division,” the Bulldogs placed third out of 19 teams on the women’s side and sixth out of 21 teams on the men’s side. The field of combined men’s and women’s runners numbered greater than 600. Head Coach Matt Beisel’s squads had been idle since running at the Augustana Twilight on Sept. 2. For more information on Concordia Cross Country, click HERE.
· As part of the Gold Division of the meet last week, the Concordia men outran GPAC opponents in Doane (eighth), Midland (16th), Hastings (17th) and Morningside (18th). For the second meet in a row to begin 2022, returning national qualifiers Camden Sesna and Calvin Rohde led the pack with new 8k personal bests of 25:22.3 and 25:37.4, respectively. Both Bulldogs showed they could outperform competitions from NCAA Division I schools such as Air Force, Kansas and Nebraska. Sesna emerged as the top NAIA runner in the field and placed 42nd overall out of 318 competitors that finished the race.
· This was the first collegiate 8k race for each of Concordia’s freshmen. Two Bulldog rookies found their way into the team’s top five: Jimmy Nguyen (26:51.1) and Aaron Jendro (27:15.0). The team’s Nos. 5 through 10 runners in Lincoln, in order, were Micah Willweber, Jack Ellis, Thomas Gorline, Charlie Hayden, Trevor Kuncl and Nathan Pennekamp. Sixteen Concordia men competed in the meet.
· At the top of the Gold Division standings, the Concordia women (144 points) placed behind only NCAA Division II opponents Northwest Missouri State University (23) and the University of Nebraska-Kearney (48). The Bulldogs placed in front of the following GPAC rivals: Hastings (fifth), Morningside (seventh), Doane (ninth), College of Saint Mary (12th) and Briar Cliff (18th). Individually, Kylahn Freiberg (19:05.2) and Rylee Haecker (19:40.7) continue to emerge as the lead Dawgs. Freiberg was the top NAIA finisher in a field that included 308 women’s runners that finished the race.
· The rest of the Bulldog women’s top five at the Greeno/Dirksen meet included Julie McIntyre (19:44.9), Hannah Beintema (19:46.5) and Rhaya Kaschinske (19:52.1). As one can deduce from the times, the team’s two through five runners were tightly packed. The rest of the Concordia top 10 went like this: Keegan Beisel, Courtney Wright, Amie Martin, Kaia Richmond and Bella Marchisio.
· The Bulldogs will be back at this Saturday for the Dean White Invitational hosted by Doane. The first race is slated to get underway at 9 a.m. CT from Crete, Neb. By that point, the Concordia women may crack the NAIA coaches’ top 25 while the men could push for a poll position as well. New NAIA top 25 polls will be revealed on Thursday. Both Bulldog squads received votes nationally in the preseason ranking announced on Aug. 25.
Golf
· Through mid-September, the Concordia Golf programs have competed in three events on the men’s side and two on the women’s side. This past week, the men placed fourth out of 12 teams at the 54-hole Siouxland Invitational (Sept. 12-13) co-hosted by Dordt and Northwestern. The women then returned to action at the 36-hole Lila Frommelt Fall Classic (Sept. 14-15) and placed eight out of 12 teams. Head Coach Brett Muller’s top individual performers on either side were Lauren Havlat and Ivan Yabut. For more information on Concordia Golf: Men | Women.
· If the Bulldog men can click at the right time, they can challenge for a conference championship. In a field loaded with GPAC competition at the Siouxland Invite, Concordia finished third among conference schools with a three-round total of 294-297-285–876. That total put it within shouting distance of Northwestern (866) and Morningside (871). Through eight rounds of official varsity action this fall, the Bulldogs have averaged a team score of 289.6. That figure puts them on track to shatter the program single season record of 305.1 from 2021-22. The team’s low round so far this season was a 283 at the UC Ferguson Classic.
· After earning a fifth-place medal at the Blue River Classic the previous week, Jacob Woodmancy continued his strong play near the top of the lineup. Woodmancy found himself in a tie for seventh on the individual leaderboard following Monday’s 36 holes. The Grant, Neb., native wound up sharing 15th place with a three-day score of 72-73-73–218. The Omaha native Yabut leapfrogged Woodmancy on the final tote board while shooting 71-75-69–215. Yabut’s two-under-par 69 moved him into a tie for 10th place, signaling his first top 10 tournament finish of the fall.
· Following Yabut and Woodmancy, the next three in the ‘A’ group at the Siouxland Invite were Drew D’Ercole (75-76-72–223; T-27th), Jake Richmond (76-73-74–223; T-27th) and Justin Webert (77-79-71–227). Drew D’Ercole had entered the tournament as the team’s season scoring average in a close race at the top. As for the second grouping of Bulldogs, they shot 314-304-304–922 and placed 10th at the invite. The No. 1 golfer on the ‘B’ team was sophomore Josh D’Ercole (72-78-75–225; T-36th).
· The women had nearly two weeks off from tournament action before diving into the Frommelt Classic. Concordia placed eighth while shooting 344-354–698. A Lincoln native and Norris High School alum, Havlat shot a consistent 81-81–162 (+18) at the event and finished 12 strokes out of first place. She’s shown considerable improvement at the top of the lineup having averaged an 18-hole score of 83.3 through four rounds this fall. During the 2021-22 season, Havlat shot an average of 89.3 and garnered Honorable Mention All-GPAC honors.
· A solid round on day two moved West Des Moines, Iowa, native Mya Nurse (88-86–174) up to the No. 2 spot in the Concordia lineup in Sioux City, Iowa. The rest of the group of five included Logan Eschliman (83-97–180), Emery Custer (92-90–182) and Sarah Wilson (103-104–207) while Ericka Kroeker (109-106–215) competed individually. This event marked the collegiate debut of Custer, who missed the season opening Mount Marty Fall Invite.
· It’ll be a busy stretch to close out the fall for the women, who will be at the Matthew Goette Fall Classic hosted at Miracle Hill Golf Course in Omaha by College of Saint Mary on Wednesday. The focus will then shift to the Nebraska Wesleyan Invite, set to run Saturday and Sunday in Lincoln. As for the men, the lone varsity event to be played this fall is the Nebraska Intercollegiate (Sept. 30-Oct. 1). The entirety of the conference championships will occur in the spring of 2023.
Men’s Soccer
· The win streak continued last week as the Bulldogs concluded nonconference play and opened 2022 GPAC regular season action. Concordia defeated Bethany College (Kan.), 2-0, at home on Sept. 13 before edging Mount Marty, 2-1, on the road on Sept. 17. Head Coach Jason Weides’ squad moved to 6-1 overall while earning three points towards the GPAC standings. The active five-game win streak began with the 3-2 victory at Tabor College (Kan.) on Sept. 3. For more information on Concordia Men’s Soccer, click HERE.
· It was a fine run through nonconference play as the Bulldogs went 5-1 and defeated two opponents that qualified for the 2021 national tournament: Tabor and Bellevue University. The one blemish came by a 1-0 score at Corban University (Ore.), which entered the NAIA coaches’ poll at No. 25 last week. In the six nonconference games, the Bulldogs outscored their opponents by a combined total of 9-3 and earned shutout wins over Northwest University (Wash.), 1-0, York College, 2-0, Bellevue, 1-0, and Bethany, 2-0.
· There was a bit of frustration in last week’s home win over Bethany in that Concordia was held off the scoreboard until the 56th minute. That’s when Concordia was awarded a penalty kick. Carlos Orquiz converted the PK in what went down as the game-winning goal. Nearly 20 minutes later, Orquiz set up Matt Schultz’s goal in the 74th minute. Schultz was Johnny on the spot with a rebound in the box for a goal from point-blank range. That was plenty enough breathing room on a night when the Swedes were held to three shots (two on goal). Callum Goldsmith played all 90 minutes at keeper, notched two saves and achieved the shutout.
· The Bulldogs knew the matchup with Mount Marty would be a challenging one. The Lancers entered the Saturday night clash at 5-0-1 overall with several lopsided victories to their credit. Offensively, Concordia did just enough with a goal in a scramble situation in the 54th minute and then one in the 76th minute from Miguel Navarro (assisted by Martin Herrera). The Bulldogs took their chances well considering they had just six shots for the night. That was the same shot total for Mount Marty as well. The lone goal scored by the Lancers was helped into the back of the net by a Concordia player attempting to clear the ball. Gabriel Mendoza got the start at keeper and made five saves.
· Strong starts to the season are nothing new for Weides’ program. While the 2021 team was 3-3-1 after seven games, the 2017 (6-0-1), 2019 (7-0) and 2020 (6-1) squads each enjoyed similar success in comparison to the ’22 edition. The current Bulldogs would do well to take after the ’17 team that cruised to a 10-0-1 mark before finally suffering a defeat in game No. 12. Those Bulldogs went on to finish 16-3-1 overall for a still intact school record win total. The previous school record for wins in a season had been 12 by the 2000 team led by newly inducted Concordia Athletic Hall of Famer Bernie Ochoa.
· The win streak will be put to the test this week by two GPAC foes from northwest Iowa. Next up, the Bulldogs will be at Dordt (2-2-3, 0-0-1 GPAC) on Wednesday for a 7:15 p.m. CT kickoff in Sioux Center, Iowa. Then on Saturday, Concordia will be at home to host defending GPAC regular season champion Northwestern (2-3-2, 1-0 GPAC) at 3:30 p.m. It will be conference opponents exclusively for the remainder of the regular season.
Women’s Soccer
· These are high times for the Bulldogs, who are now 6-0 thanks to two comfortable wins last week. In home action, Concordia defeated KCAC foe Bethany College (Kan.), 4-0, on Sept. 13 and then pummeled Mount Marty, 6-0, on the road on Sept. 17. The victory over Bethany polished off a perfect 5-0 run through nonconference play. It’s been nearly 20 years since the program has enjoyed an extended unbeaten run like this to begin a campaign. For more information on Concordia Women’s Soccer, click HERE.
· In fact, Head Coach Thomas Goines has guided the program to its first 6-0 start since the 2003 team accomplished that feat under then Head Coach Bill Schranz. In the history of a program that dates back to 1996, no Bulldog Women’s Soccer team has ever reached 7-0. Goines’ ’22 team accomplished something no other Concordia squad had before – beat Benedictine. The 1-0 win at No. 25 Benedictine on Sept. 10 has been the biggest highlight of the season to date.
· Even in lopsided wins last week, the Bulldogs felt like they could have scored more – it’s a sign of a team that has come a long way since the end of the 2021 season. In the win over Bethany, the goals were supplied by Kierstynn Garner (11’, 73’), Lisa McClain (48’) and Lina Kirst (61’). An assist apiece was credited to Grace Soenksen and Niah Kirchner. Concordia dominated possession against the Swedes and outshot them, 19-4 (10-3 in shots on goal). In goal, Kalie Ward played the first 78 minutes and made two saves. Bradi Ore then covered the final 12 minutes of the clean sheet.
· The matchup with Mount Marty was a more significant mismatch. The Bulldogs owned the shot count, 25-7, and peppered Lancer keepers with 21 shots on goal. The freshman Garner kept doing her thing, putting up her sixth and seventh goals of the season. A goal apiece came from Kassidy Johnson, Kirst, Savannah Andrews and Ellie Eason. Both Johnson and Andrews notched the first goals of their collegiate careers. An assist each went to Kirchner, Elena Ruiz and Allee Downing. Concordia remains undefeated (21-0) all-time against Mount Marty.
· Led by Garner’s seven goals, the Bulldogs have outscored their first six opponents by a combined total of 20-4. Among GPAC teams, Concordia ranks second for goals scored and tied for second for fewest goals allowed. The athleticism of the freshman class has made a massive difference for this ’22 team. The 20 goals scored by the Bulldogs so far this season are nearly as many as the ’21 team (23 goals) totaled for an entire 18-game schedule. At this pace, the Bulldogs have a chance to become the fourth team in program history to score 60 or more goals in a season.
· GPAC play heats up this week as Concordia shifts its focus to Wednesday’s trip to Sioux Center, Iowa, for a 5 p.m. CT matchup with Dordt (4-3, 1-1 GPAC). Then on Saturday, the Bulldogs will be at home to host Northwestern (4-4, 0-2 GPAC) for a 1 p.m. kickoff. Goines needs one more win to reach 100 in his collegiate head coaching career. In his previous stops, Goines won 43 games at Concordia University Chicago and 30 at Barton College (N.C.).
