| Former Concordia Baseball
Star Chris Coste to Report to Spring Training With the Philadelphia Phillies.
Former Concordia baseball standout Chris Coste will report to spring training with the Philadelphia Phillies beginning next week. Coste signed a contract with the Phillies in the offseason after spending last season playing in the Milwaukee Brewers organization. Coste will be looking to catch on with the major league squad after spending the better part of the past five years playing in the minor leagues. He has spent the past week helping Concordia head coach Bucky Burgau and the Cobber baseball team as they start the indoor practice season. Coste was a three-time All-American
at Concordia and was also named the league MVP three times. He batted .484
and had a 7-2 record on the mound with a 1.29 ERA in his senior season.
Coste, who played third base when not pitching, graduated having tied or
broken 15 Cobber career baseball records, including hitting (.442), hits
(162), RBI (110), homers (19) and ERA (2.11).

Latest News and Notes:
- The Concordia men’s basketball
team leads the nation in field goal percentage. The Cobbers are currently
shooting 53.1% from the floor in games played before January 30. They are
first in NCAA Division III in 3-point field goal percentage. Concordia
is connecting on 45.7% of their shots from behind the arc.
- The Cobbers are vying to make the MIAC playoffs for the second consecutive season and the third time in the past five years. Concordia is currently in fifth place in the MIAC with four games left to play. The Cobbers could finish as high as third place or as far down as eighth. The top six teams in the MIAC earn postseason playoff spots in the league tournament.
- Concordia senior Soren
Nelson (Twin Valley, Minn./Norman County East) needs only 12 points
to become the ninth player in the history of Cobber men’s basketball to
break the 1,000-point barrier for a career. Nelson is averaging 14.4 points
per game this season and has recorded 988 points in his 3+ seasons in maroon
and gold. Last year as a junior he averaged 14.3 points per game and was
named to the MIAC All-Conference Team.

Record: 13-3 MIAC (2nd), 15-4 Recent Results: Concordia 65 at #17 Carleton 52 - Recap; Concordia 85 at St. Kate's 77 - Recap Upcoming Events: hosts Augsburg on Wednesday, February 9 at 5:30pm (Listen Live); at Bethel on Saturday, February 12 at 1:00pm (Listen Live) Latest News and Notes:
- By virtue of their upset win over nationally-ranked Carleton, the Cobber women’s team clinched a spot in the MIAC playoffs. It marks the third straight season that Concordia has earned a trip to the conference tournament. It is also the fourth time in the past five seasons that the Cobbers will be playing in the MIAC playoffs. - Mandy Pearson (Watkins,
Minn./Eden Valley-Watkins HS) continues her quest to earn back-to-back
conference MVP honors. She currently leads the MIAC in assists per game
(7.27) and is third in the league in scoring (17.3 ppg). She also leads
the league in steals (3.40 spg) and is fifth in free throw percentage (81.8%).
All those numbers are the same, or better, than the stats she posted last
season when she won the MIAC MVP honor. More importantly, she has guided
Concordia into second place in the league. If the Cobbers can finish with
four wins, they will eclipse last year’s fourth-place finish.

Recent Results: Concordia 15 at Jamestown 31 - Recap; at the North Country Invite at St. John's - Recap Upcoming Events: at the Great Lakes NCAA Region Meet on Saturday, February 19 at 9:00am at Augsburg Latest News and Notes:
- Concordia’s dual meet with St. Olaf scheduled for Saturday, February 12 at St. Olaf has been canceled due to a lack of wrestlers on the Ole squad. In St. Olaf’s last dual meet against St. John’s on February 2, the Oles only filled five of the 10 weight classifications. The Cobbers will now turn their attention to the NCAA Great Lakes Regional Meet. The regional meet will be held at Augsburg College on Saturday, February 19 at 9:00am. The top two wrestlers from each weight class at the regional meet earn a trip to the NCAA Division III National Meet which will be held at St. Olaf on March 4-5. - The two Concordia wrestlers who earned a “top six” finish at the North Country Invite have the best chance to earn a spot at the NCAA Division III National Meet for the Cobbers. Lee Rahrlien (Jr., Graceville, Minn./C-G-B HS) finished second in the 157-pound class. He won his first two matches of the invite before losing to two-time defending NCAA champion Marcus LeVesseur of Augsburg. The other Cobber that earned a top spot at the North Country Invite was Dennis Kline (Sr., Plymouth, Minn./Wayzata HS). Kline finished sixth at 197. He won three of his first four matches, but then had to retire after aggravating a former shoulder injury.
