The Marquee Matchup -
Cobber Blockers vs. Gustavus Linebacker Isaac Sieling
Concordia's offensive line - and blocking backs - will have their hands full with Gustavus senior linebacker Isaac Sieling. Sieling currently leads the MIAC in overall tackles (15.0/MIAC games) and is ranked ninth in DIII in that category for overall games (13.7). In the team's first conference game against Hamline he had 21 tackles. Against St. John's last week he recorded a game-high nine tackles. In Gustavus' last seven games (carrying over from last season), Sieling has made at least 10 tackles in all but one game - last week against St. John's. The last time he did not record at least five tackles in a game was last year against St. Thomas when he was held to only three tackles. National Leaders Concordia players continue to dot the skyline of the NCAA Division III statistical leaders. Brian Halverson has taken over sole possession of first place in field goals per game. Halverson leads the nation with a 2.3 field goal per game average. The only other Cobber among the national leaders in an offensive category is Andrew Passanante, who ranks 15th in punt return avarage per game (15.1). On defense the linebacking tandem of Josh Dietz and Doug Runke continue to be a national force. Dietz is tied for eighth in solo tackles per game (8.3) and tied for 23rd in overall tackles per game (12.3). Runke is tied for 12th in forced fumbles per game (0.67). Finally, defensive lineman Adam Campbell continues to have an outstanding senior season. After posting two sacks in each of the team's first two MIAC games, he is tied for 31st in sackes per game (1.2) As a team, the Cobbers are tied for fourth with DIII powerhouse Mount Union in total defense (173.3 yds per game allowed). They are also eighth in rushing defense (41.3), 11th in scoring defense (8.3 points per game allowed) and tied for 25th in turnover margin (+1.7). Gustavus has only two individual
players among the national leaders. Linebacker Isaac Sieling is
tied for 9th in total tackles (13.7) and Tyler Ringquist is tied
for 12th in forced fumbles (0.67).

News and Notes
In the first two MIAC games of the year, the Cobber defense has not allowed an opposing running back to gain more than 33 yards in a game. In both games, the Cobbers completely shut down a pair of top conference ball carriers. Against St. Thomas, Concordia held Walter Dosh to only 33 rushing yards. The week before, against Coe College (Iowa), Dosh had racked up 115 yards on the ground. On Saturday, the Cobber run-stopping machine limited Carleton’s premiere back, Wade Thompson, to 11 yards. In the Knights' season opener against Lake Forest (Ill.), Thompson had 152 yards on the ground and was named the MIAC Offensive Player of the Week. And Even Better Beginnings!
The longest winning streak to open a season in the past 20 years is eight games. The 1988 Concordia team went 8-0 at the beginning of the year and finished the season by winning the MIAC title. This is the best start for a Cobber team under current head coach Terry Horan. Top Cobber Starts in the
