In battles between teams in the upper tier of the GPAC, Concordia will take on Morningside and Briar Cliff this week. The Bulldogs are currently in third place in the GPAC standings after a tie and a loss last week.
An underwhelming performance wasn't going to get it done at No. 5 Hastings on Saturday (Oct. 12). The host Broncos got a goal apiece from three different players in a 3-0 decision in Hastings, Neb.
In a rematch of a 2018 GPAC quarterfinal tilt, Concordia and Midland played to a 1-1 double overtime draw on Wednesday (Oct. 9). The lone Bulldog goal came on a nifty strike from Garrett Perry.

Mount Marty put a scare into the host Bulldogs, who used a goal apiece in the 80th and 85th minutes to earn a 2-0 victory on Saturday (Oct. 5). Concordia has improved to 9-1 overall.
The men's soccer program again garnered the 2018-19 Team Academic Award from the United Soccer Coaches, as announced on Thursday (Oct. 3). Head coach Jason Weides' program also earned Scholar-Team status.

A member of a GPAC tournament championship team, Toby Down recently experienced another high. His Tai Po FC professional team celebrated a Hong Kong Premier League title this May.
With two senior captains having graduated, the Bulldogs are in the process of filling a leadership void. That was part of the focus this spring as head coach Jason Weides prepared his program for the 2019 season.

Five members of the standard setting 2017 Concordia men's soccer team spent the summer tearing it up with the Bugeaters FC, a newly formed United Premier Soccer League squad in Lincoln.

Due to a multitude of factors, Concordia men’s soccer continues to climb. Summed up by Lehenbauer, the prospect of competing for championships, “over time, became an expectation instead of a hope.”
An unforgettable senior class spurred the Concordia men's soccer team on to an unforgettable 2017 season that saw the Bulldogs shatter the program wins record. Concordia also reached the GPAC final.
Already owners of school records for overall wins and conference wins in a single season, the 2017 Bulldogs want more. An upset of No. 8 Hastings on Wednesday would give them at least a share of the GPAC regular-season title.
