It will also be the fourth conference tournament appearance in the six-year history of the event.

Cobbers Feel the Pain of Payback, Lose 17-3 to North Dakota State.
Box Score: Concordia 3 at North Dakota State 17 - Action Pictures
FARGO, N.D.-- They say that revenge is a dish best served cold. On Monday, North Dakota State served up a huge dish of revenge on a cold platter. In a game played with the temperatures hovering around 40 degrees, the Bison battered Concordia pitching for 17 runs and 20 hits, and NDSU cruised to a 17-3 victory in a game played at Newman Outdoor Field in Fargo, N.D. 

The win avenges a 12-8 loss at the hands of the Cobbers last season, the only loss that the Bison had against non-NCAA Division I, II or top-flight NAIA schools in all of 2004.(More)

Trenbeath was the winning pitcher in Concordia's critical victory over second-place St. Olaf on Saturday. He pitched 5.1 innings and only allowed one earned run in his only outing of the week, as the Cobbers beat the Oles 4-1 in the second game of the doubleheader to gain a split in the series and stay in the thick of the MIAC playoff race. Trenbeath scattered seven hits and only allowed one walk to pick up his second win in seven days. His most impressive statistic was the fact that he held the potent Ole offense to just one hit in seven at-bats (.143) with runners on base. In his last two outings Trenbeath is now 2-0 and has only allowed two earned runs in 12.1 innings of work.

The award marks the 32nd time during the 2004-05 MIAC athletic season that a Concordia athlete has won Player/Athlete of the Week honors.

Concordia is now 8-6 in league play and 13-16 overall, while second-place St. Olaf moves to 11-5 in the MIAC and 18-12 overall.(More)

April 11 Kevin Engebretson Named MIAC Pitcher of the Week! Concordia sophomore pitcher Kevin Engebretson (Alexandria, Minn./Jefferson HS) was named the MIAC Pitcher of the Week as announced by the MIAC league office. It is the first time that Engebretson has received the honor, and he becomes the second consecutive Cobber player to earn Player of the Week honors. Last week, teammate Chris Klabo was named the MIAC Hitter/Fielder of the Week. The award marks the 29th time in 2004-05 that a Concordia athlete has won MIAC Player of the Week honors. That is the most in one single academic calendar year for Concordia since the league started to hand out Player of the Week awards in all team sports starting in 2000. Engebretson pitched a complete-game against Hamline on Wednesday to pick up his first collegiate win in his only appearance of the week. Engebretson masterfully mixed in his off-speed pitches to keep the Hamline hitters off balance and pick up the win. He did not allow an earned run, allowed only five hits and struck out six. He also did not walk a batter in the game. Other than the lone run in the fourth, he did not allow a runner to reach third base, and finished the game by retiring seven of the final eight hitters.
