An early season trip to Arkansas is one of the highlights of a newly released schedule for the 2019 women's soccer team. Head coach Greg Henson's program is slated to play four teams that finished in the top 25 in 2018.
Following another year of contention for a GPAC title, the Concordia women's soccer team was rewarded by the Omaha World-Herald with nine All-Nebraska team selections.
Maria Deeter and Lauren Martin both received recognition as NAIA Women's Scholar All-America Team selections and were two of four Bulldogs to be placed on the All-West Region Team by United Soccer Coaches.
For the third-straight year, and for the fourth time in five seasons, the Concordia women’s soccer program has received votes in the NAIA coaches’ postseason poll. The Bulldogs finished 13-3-5 overall in 2018.
Tori Cera (first team), Maria Deeter (first team) and Lauren Martin (second team) each earned All-Plains Region Team accolades from the United Soccer Coaches. Cera and Deeter were also first team All-GPAC choices.
Named a CoSIDA Academic All-American on Monday, Maria Deeter picked up NAIA honorable mention All-America accolades on Tuesday (Dec. 4). She is the second All-American in program history.
Recently named a first team All-GPAC choice and team MVP, senior Maria Deeter hauled in another major honor on Monday. CoSIDA announced Deeter as a Academic All-America first team selection.
A leader in the classroom and championship program on the field, the Concordia University women’s soccer team placed eight of its members on the list of 2018 Daktronics-NAIA Scholar-Athletes, announced on Friday (Nov. 30) by the NAIA.
Consistently one of the nation's top achievers in the classroom, the Concordia women's soccer program again garnered the Team Academic Award from the United Soccer Coaches (for the 2017-18 academic year).
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.
While challenging itself significantly this spring, Concordia Women's Soccer began preparing for lofty expectations in 2024. Coach Nick Smith has emphasized better possession and standing up to physical play.
The Concordia Women’s Soccer program isn’t going anywhere. That’s a message the 2023 Bulldogs delivered loud and clear while following the lead of the likes of Grace Soenksen and Kierstynn Garner. Concordia exceeded outside expectations.
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 transitional phase for Concordia Women's Soccer began back in the spring as Nick Smith took the reins of the program. With the return of Grace Soenksen and a talented sophomore group, the Bulldogs are optimistic about this fall.
In the middle of March, Nick Smith found himself hitting the ground running with spring training sessions. The new Concordia Women's Soccer head coach sees a program with the right foundation for short- and long-term success.
There were ups and downs in 2022, but Concordia Women’s Soccer proved it could hang with anyone in the GPAC. The Bulldogs blended seniors and freshmen and put together the longest unbeaten run to begin a season in program history.
Fresh off a normal spring for the first time since 2019, the Bulldogs are working towards another season of GPAC championship contention. Coach Goines' squad returns a strong nucleus while welcoming an athletic freshman class.
At one point determined to go anywhere but Concordia, Grace Soenksen wound up following in the footsteps of four of her older siblings. She's proven, however, that she is not another Esther. Grace has made her mark in her own way.
The leadership group has begun to be reshaped as the program works on building an identity for the 2022 season. Captains Allee Downing and Grace Soenksen helped lead that process as part of a productive spring for Head Coach Thomas Goines' squad.
Gritty defensive performances and one-goal games were the story in 2021 for the Bulldogs, who competed closely with everyone in the GPAC. Concordia finished 9-7-2 overall while being led by an accomplished senior class.
