The sixth-ranked Bulldogs hit .420 on Wednesday (Oct. 20) and treated the home fans to a straight sets win over Doane. Three Concordia players reached double figures in kills and the home win streak was pushed to 11.
The sixth-ranked Bulldogs will aim for season sweeps of two opponents this week as they host Doane on Wednesday and visit CSM on Saturday. Concordia is 7-0 at home in 2022 following this past week's five-set win over No. 7 Northwestern.
Faced with only its third five-set match this season, the sixth-ranked Bulldogs answered the call with the help of some clutch play from Carly Rodaway. Concordia managed to edge No. 7 Northwestern while taking the fifth set, 15-9.
Time to turn the page. The Bulldogs will be back at home to host No. 7 Northwestern on Saturday in a another GPAC battle between top 10 teams. Concordia owns a nine-match home winning streak.
A first set that slipped through Concordia's fingers paved the way for No. 15 Dakota Wesleyan to take Saturday (Oct. 8)'s match in straight sets. The Bulldogs went 0-2 on a challenging weekend road trip up north.
The strong service of No. 2 Jamestown threw the sixth-ranked Bulldogs off their game on Friday (Oct. 7). Concordia (16-2, 7-2 GPAC) fell for the first time in a month while coming up short against the Jimmies once again.
Two road matches of significance in terms of both driving distance and GPAC standings await the sixth-ranked Bulldogs, who are prepping to play at No. 2 Jamestown and No. 15 Dakota Wesleyan. Concordia stands at 16-1 (7-1 GPAC).
It was a fitting way to honor the seniors as Concordia remained red hot in a straight sets win over Morningside. The Bulldogs hit .426 and improved to 16-1 overall (7-1 GPAC) behind a team high 11 kills from Carly Rodaway.
Make if five GPAC wins in a row, all in straight sets, for the sixth-ranked Bulldogs. They hit .425 behind nine more kills from star middle Gabi Nordaker. Twelve different Concordia players recorded a kill in the win over Briar Cliff.
