Bulldog women's soccer aims for a strong push in the final week of nonconference play leading up to GPAC action on Sept. 23. Concordia is looking to get back to the win column.
Despite a stellar second half performance, Concordia women's soccer suffered its second straight loss. The Bulldogs were taken down in overtime, 2-1, by host Graceland on Saturday (Sept. 9).
A 1-0 lead eventually turned into a 4-1 loss for the previously unbeaten Bulldogs (3-1-1). Visiting Bellevue handed Concordia just its sixth home defeat since the start of the 2014 season.
Four more nonconference games remain on the schedule before the Concordia women's soccer team begins GPAC play. The Bulldogs own a record of 11-1-1 and have outscored their opponents 43-7 over the last 13 games.
After collecting 15 saves during last week's action, sophomore goalkeeper Lindsey Carley has been named the GPAC defensive player of the week. Carley is a native of Urbandale, Iowa.
The prolific Bulldog scoring attack went quiet on the final day of a weekend event hosted by Concordia-Chicago. CUNE (3-0-1) remained unbeaten while settling for a 0-0 draw with Concordia-Wisconsin.
This weekend is for bragging rights among Concordia soccer programs. The Bulldogs got off to a roaring start on Friday with a 4-0 win over host Concordia-Chicago. CUNE is now 3-0 this season.
For the second straight outing, the Bulldogs put five goals on the board and cruised to victory at home. Fiver different players scored for head coach Greg Henson's squad, now 2-0 on the year.
The first hat trick of Maria Deeter's collegiate career allowed her to grab GPAC offensive player of the week accolades. The Seward native led Concordia to a 5-1 season opening win over Avila last week.
The Bulldogs will first host York College on Tuesday (Aug. 29) before looking forward to a trip to River Forest, Ill., for a pair of matchups with fellow Concordias. CUNE opened its season last week with a win.
The spring showcased a deep and talented roster for head coach Greg Henson's squad. The Bulldogs have laid the groundwork for another successful campaign in 2016.
On paper, the 2015 season looked like somewhat of a rebuilding year for Concordia University women’s soccer following a GPAC tournament championship season in 2014. The Bulldogs had graduated a pair of first team all-conference choices and a second team all-league selection after the program had earned its first-ever national tournament bid.
Concordia University women’s soccer continues to gravitate to new heights. On Tuesday the Bulldogs jumped five spots in the national poll to No. 16, a position that again ranks as the highest placement in program history.
