Concordia couldn't recover from their three doubles losses and ended up dropping their final regular season match of the MIAC to St. Kate's 9-0. It was the Cobbers second consecutive loss and places them in seventh place entering this weekend's conference tournament at Gustavus.

The biggest surprise of the match for Concordia (4-6 MIAC, 4-6) was the loss of the number one doubles team of Erica Tollefson (Jr., Madison, Minn./Lac Qui Parle HS) and Beth Meier (Fr., Crookston, Minn./Crookston HS). The tandem was undefeated coming into the match and had run off a streak of seven straight wins. The team could never get on top of the Wildcats twosome of Cristin Tiegs and Amy Willhite and lost 8-6. That match proved to be the closest contest in the affair as all the Cobber singles were swept in straight sets. 

Emily Waldahl (Fr., Aldrich, Minn./Staples-Motley HS) battled in the number five singles spot but ultimately fell to Nikki Richter 6-3, 6-3.

Concordia finishes the year 4-6 in the MIAC and will likely play Carleton or St. Kate's in the first round of the MIAC tournament which will be held at Gustavus on April 25-26.
