For their work in the classroom and on the playing field, standouts Savannah Andrews, Hannah Kile, Niah Kirchner and Grace Soenksen have been named Academic All-District honorees by College Sports Communicators.
Ninety-two career games played and four First Team All-GPAC awards to her credit, Grace Soenksen can humbly say that she left a legacy that will stand the test of time. Said Head Coach Nick Smith, "She’s going to go down as a legend."
The All-GPAC haul for Concordia Women's Soccer included five first teamers and GPAC Defensive Player of the Year honors for Grace Soenksen. The five first team selections equals a program record. Eight total Bulldogs were honored.
The two-seeded Bulldogs hosted the three-seeded Warriors on Tuesday night (Nov. 7) for the chance to go to the finals in the GPAC tournament for the first time since 2020.
The two-seeded Dawgs advanced to the GPAC semifinals with a 2-1 win over seventh-seeded Jimmies, besting them twice this season, in their final year of the conference. With all the highest seeds advancing, CUNE shifts their eyes to third-seeded Midland, with a chance to snap their regular season (1-1) tie from their bout in late September.
Earning a No. 2 seed the Bulldogs aligned their path with seventh-seeded Jamestown for their quarterfinal clash. Raining down 18 total shots, Concordia scored two in the first half and held on for their first conference tournament victory (2-1) since winning the postseason tournament in 2020.
After a regular season that achieved more than the outside noise, the Concordia University Women’s Soccer team earned second place. The program will appear in the GPAC tournament for the 15th straight year while preparing to clash against seventh-seeded Jamestown in Bulldog Stadium.
Concordia Women's Soccer entered the night with hopes of winning the GPAC regular season title. The Bulldogs took care of their business with a 4-0 win at Doane while finishing in second place in the 2023 regular season.
Concordia finds itself in the final week of the 2023 season, traveling to Crete, Neb. to square off against Doane on Wednesday (Oct. 25). Last week, the Bulldogs clashed with a defensive minded Briar Cliff in a scoreless tie, then came home for senior day defeating Waldorf (2-1).
Three seniors were honored before the 2-1 win over Waldorf on Saturday (Oct. 21). Kassidy Johnson, Hannah Haas and Bradi Ore played in their final regular season match in Bulldog Stadium, as the sun came down in the final minutes.
The coaching shift for Concordia women's soccer is now playing out during a "life in isolation." Announced as head coach in December, Thomas Goines is readying his team for 2020 via virtual means.
The Concordia women's soccer team faced some early challenges in 2019, but rebounded to once again prove competitive against the league's top teams. Chris Luther stepped in as head coach in a 6-11-2 campaign.
Greg Henson spent six years building the Concordia women's soccer program into a power. On Tuesday (July 9), Ferris State University introduced Henson as its new head women's soccer coach.
In order to prepare for what's coming in the fall, Greg Henson put his 2019 team up against a challenging spring schedule. The hope is that it pays off when a tougher fall slate rolls around.
The 2018 season proved once again that the Bulldog women's soccer program has staying power as one of the GPAC's top teams. Behind Maria Deeter, Concordia advanced to another GPAC championship game.
After narrowly missing out on the national tournament a year ago, the Bulldogs say they have unfinished business heading into 2018. Many of the stars are back for a team picked second in the GPAC.
There's a healthy competitive fire within the culture of the Concordia women's soccer program. That dynamic continues to push the Bulldogs forward while in the midst of the program's most successful run.
Four juniors and two freshmen from the Concordia women's soccer program spent spring break on a mission in Las Vegas. Everywhere they looked, there was opportunity to impact the lives of others.
There were times during the recruiting process that Maria Deeter went back and forth, but she has no regrets as she looks ahead to her senior season. It’s a Bulldog life and Maria is soaking it up.
GPAC Coach of the Year Greg Henson and the Concordia women's soccer team embarked on another memorable journey in 2017. The Bulldogs captured their first-ever conference regular-season title this fall.
