Welcome to Concordia University
Go Falcons!
The CUW women dominated NAC athletics this past year, winning five team championships, placing second in two others, and finishing more than two percentage points ahead of second place Aurora for the NAC All Sports Award Championship among the leagues’ 13 schools.
First place CUW regular season women’s team crowns were won by tennis, cross country, basketball, indoor track and field, and outdoor track and field. Falcon volleyball and golf teams garnered runner NAC honors.
Top FIVE NAC totals via the complicated calculation index:
CUW 27.94; Aurora 25.61;Benedictine 23.38;Edgewood 22.25;Lakeland 19.5
Aurora earned top honors on the men’s side with 181 points followed by MSOE, Marian, Dominican, and CUW. Starting this fall, football will be added into the tally.
The Falcons’ first place pigskin finish would actually have moved them into the number two position in the league’s overall 2007-8 standings.
Top FIVE
Aurora 22.63; MSOE 21.44; Marian 21.30;Dominican 19.70;CUW 18.81

Listen to Matt Menzl's 2007-2008 Season Broadcast Review
The 2007-8 sport seasons provided lots of opportunities for Falcon fans to cheer their teams’ successes in the 12-school Northern Athletics Conference.
SPRING RESULTS:
Concordia's Women's Outdoor track team brought home the gold this spring as they dominated the NAC field. Once again, Samantha Bloxdorf was amazing as she placed in six separate events for the Falcons. Sophomore Brock Solverson qualified for Nationals in the javelin.
Falcon softball finished the season with a 19-19 mark as shortstop Ashley Fyock concluded her impressive career with first team all conference honors.
CUW baseball wound up with an 18-19 record, losing four one run games down the stretch as they just missed the NAC playoffs. Senior first baseman Andy Becker concluded an illustrious career that saw him break several school offensive records.
WINTER RESULTS:
Our Concordia women’s basketball team finished 17-1 in the NAC and 20-7 overall. Head coach Stacey Brunner was the NAC Coach of the Year for a second consecutive campaign and junior forward Krista Mayyou was a unanimous all-league choice for the third straight year.
The CUW male hoopsters battled to an improved 14-11 record under first year coach Shawn Cassidy. Seniors Josh Atkinson and Dave Lipanot both passed the 1000 career point mark.
Our Concordia grapplers were 6-4 in duals, but injuries thwarted individual advancements to the national level. Meanwhile, Indoor track saw the CUW women repeat as champions with Adam Walker earning Coach of the Year honors. The Concordia men placed third in the league.
Multi-talented Samantha Bloxdorf scored 33 points alone in leading the CUW women to their crown while sophomore Brock Solverson paced the men with 21 points, including a first in the long jump. Each of these athletes broke a meet record in the process.
CUW hockey teams both struggled in their inaugural campaigns with almost entirely freshman squads, but both women’s coach Jim Ingman and men’s mentor Tony Hrkac have high hopes for long term success.
FALL RESULTS:
CUW football, led by All American defensive lineman Wilbur Allen, finished tied for first at 6-1 in the final year of the IBFC. The champion Falcons traveled to Bethel, MN for an NCAA playoff game.
Joe Cawley’s CUW volleyball team had a banner campaign, breaking their all-time win total and finishing with an overall 23-10 record. Sophomore hitter Katie Roessler was a unanimous all-league choice.
Both Falcon soccer squads were competitive, with the men finishing at 12-7-1 while the women ended their season at a respectable 10-9-1 after a 1-7-1 start. Striker Brian Nord received first team all region honors for Tom Saleska’s booters and senior midfielder Travis Moulton was an Academic All American.
CUW women’s tennis, paced by NAC Player of the Year Erin Henrich, went through the NAC season undefeated for the third straight year while the women’s Cross Country team also raced to another championship.
The male Falcon harriers were a very close second in the league with Micah Lorenzen winning the NAC conference and State Private Meets, plus finishing 8th in the entire region. Micah was also a National Qualifier. Lisa Dillett, second at the NAC conference meet on the women’s side, also ran extremely well at the Midwest Regionals.
CUW women’s golf improved to second in the NAC while their male counterparts were 5th of 9 competing NAC schools.
