Women's basketball competes in third NCAA tournament

The Concordia women's basketball team competed for the third consecutive year in the National Collegiate Athletic Association Division III Regional play. They were defeated  by Bishop College of Dallas, 73-71, in the second game to end the season with an overall record of 21-7.

While the game against Bishop exchanged leads several times, the Cobbers dominated their first-round tournament game against Pamona-Pitzer College of Claremont, Calif., winning 77-58. It was the second year that Concordia has defeated Pamona-Pitzer in the tournament.

Naomi Wahlin, a senior majoring in elementary education from Missoula Mont. and JoDee Bock a junior majoring in communications and English from Lisbon, N.D., were named to the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference All-Conference team and to the NCAA Division III team for the west. In addition, Bock was named the most valuable player of the regional tournament.

 Siverson named head women's basketball coach

Duane Siverson, assistant men's basketball coach, has been named head coach of the Cobber women 5 basketball team beginning  the 1984-85 season. He replaces Marc Langseth, who stepped down after four years in the top slot.

Siverson, who already serves as head coach for the women's golf team, is also the resident director at Bogstad Manor. He is a physical education major from Yankton (S.D.) College. While there, he played basketball for John Eidsness and then came to Concordia when Eidsness was named head coach of the Cobber men's basketball team.

Langseth, who resigned as head coach in order to spend more time with his family and business, compiled a 96-25 record during regular season and tournament play. The record is highlighted by tournament play in the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women Division III tournament in 1981 followed by the national championship over Mt. Mercy College of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, in 1982, the same year he was named coach of the year.
