Cobbers Fall to MIAC Powerhouse Gustavus 7-2.

Erica Tollefson So. Madison, Minn. Upset Gustavus' Ellen Anderson, the defending MIAC champion and 13th ranked player in the nation in Concordia's 7-2 loss to the Gusties.

Concordia dropped their first match of the season, losing 7-2 to perennial MIAC champion Gustavus.

The highlight of the match for the Cobbers was Erica Tollefson's (So., Madison, Minn.) huge come-from-behind victory over the Gusties Ellen Anderson  4-6, 6-4, 10-8. Anderson, the defending MIAC #1 singles champ and ranked 13th in the nation in the preseason poll - had a perfect 26-0 record in MIAC matches coming into the day. Tollefson lost the first set before rallying in the second, and then prevailing in the super tie-breaker 10-8. Tollefson is currently 3-0 on the season.

As a team, Gustavus has won the last nine MIAC titles and are ranked seventh in the preseason NCAA Division III poll. Tollefson's victory along with the win by doubles team of Liz Meschke (So., Pine River, Minn.) and Danita Olson (Sr., Champlin, Minn.) mark the first time that the Gusties have lost an individual or doubles match to a MIAC foe this year. Meschke and Olson won their match 9-8 to up their record to 3-0 as well.

Concordia will host MSU-Morhead on Wednesday, March 20th at 6:30pm in the Olson Forum.
