For their roles in Concordia's 32-29 win at Hastings, Bulldogs Peyton Atwood and Adam Van Cleave earned NAIA national and GPAC Player of the Week awards.
It will be a matchup of top 25 teams in Sioux City, Iowa, on Saturday. The 23rd-ranked Bulldogs will meet the 11th-ranked Mustangs in the 24th all-time series clash between the two programs.
The Bulldogs did not make it easy on themselves, but they found a way to prevail at Hastings, 32-29, on a blustery Saturday (Oct. 18) afternoon. Adam Van Cleave scored the game-winning touchdown in the final minute.
The Bulldogs are looking to rebound after enduring their first defeat in more than 365 days. The 58th all-time series meeting between Concordia and Hastings is set for Saturday in Hastings.
A seemingly comfortable 38-7 lead melted away on Homecoming Saturday (Oct. 11) as the 17th-ranked Bulldogs were upset, 60-52, in double OT by rival Midland. Concordia fell despite racking up 482 yards of offense.
