Jason VanValkenburg Earns MIAC Postseason Honors.
Concordia junior midfielder Jason VanValkenburg (Fargo, N.Dak.) was named to the MIAC All-Conference team. It is the first time that VanValkenburg has earned the award. Last year he was named to the all-conference honorable mention team.

VanValkenburg finished the season fourth in the MIAC in assists per game and fifth in total assists despite missing the last three and a half games of the conference season because of a broken leg. VanValkenburg broke his tibia and fibula in the first half of the game against Carleton on October 26th.

VanValkenburg was the catalyst for the Cobber offense from his play in the center of the field. His ability to break the opposing team down though the dribble or by passing was one of Concordia's main offensive weapons during the 2002 season.
