Thanks to the connection between quarterback DJ McGarvie and star receiver Korrell Koehlmoos, the Bulldogs earned their first win of 2022. Concordia got all of its points in the third quarter in the 20-12 victory at Dakota Wesleyan.

Two teams searching for their first win of 2022 will meet in Mitchell, S.D., this Saturday. The Bulldogs hope for a similar result as 2021 when they defeated Dakota Wesleyan, 34-0, behind five total touchdowns from DJ McGarvie.

A rash of Northwestern turnovers helped the Bulldogs build a 10-0 lead at the half as they attempted to upset the fourth-ranked Red Raiders. The home team then dominated the final two quarters and won, 34-10, in Orange City.

On the heels of two down-to-the-wire losses to in-state GPAC rivals, the Bulldogs are preparing for the challenge of playing at No. 4 Northwestern on Saturday. Concordia is looking to defeat the Red Raiders for the first time since 2016.

Despite a big day from Korrell Koehlmoos and an overall solid outing from the defense, Concordia relinquished a 17-2 lead and lost on homecoming Saturday, 21-17, to visiting Hastings. The Bulldogs slipped to 0-2 in 2022.

It's homecoming week for the Bulldogs, who had a bye week to stew on their season opening loss at Doane. Concordia will try to bounce back on Saturday when it hosts Hastings at 1 p.m. CT.

Missed red zone opportunities and the leg of Doane kicker Kelen Meyer doomed the Bulldogs to a 12-10 loss in Crete on Saturday (Sept. 3) evening. Michael Grindey paced the Concordia defense with 13 tackles and a forced fumble.

The 67th all-time meeting between Concordia and Doane will kick off the 2022 season. It will mark the start of the 95th season of Bulldog Football as Coach Daberkow's squad aims to push its series win streak to three.

A season after tying for third place in the GPAC standings, the Concordia Football program has been slotted in at No. 4 in the 2022 GPAC Preseason Coaches’ Poll released on Thursday (Aug. 11).
