Game Recap:

WINONA, Minn. (09/30/06)-- Concordia allowed a pair of first half goals to St. Mary's, missed on several breakaway chances throughout the game and fell 2-0 to the Cardinals on Saturday in Winona, Minn.

The shutout marks the fourth straight game that the Cobbers have failed to score a goal. That is only the third time in program history that Concordia has put together a string of four games without scoring a goal. The last time it happened was back in 2000.

The loss drops Concordia's overall record to 2-5-1 on the season. The Cobbers are now 0-4-1 in league play. St. Mary's earns their first conference victory of 2006 and ups its MIAC record to 1-4-0. The Cardinals are now 4-6-0 overall.

The only scoring of the game came in an eight-minute period midway through the opening half. After Concordia just missed several close opportunities, St. Mary's struck at 21:38 when the ball was played over the top of the Cobber defense at the midline and then was batted about until the Cardinals were able to get on the end of it and serve it into the penalty area where Mike Schmitt was able to poke home the game-winning goal.

St. Mary's added an insurance goal at the 29:05 mark when Andy Neu scored his second goal of the season on an assist from Jon Vik.

Concordia was never able to finish in the final 45 minutes despite getting several quality looks at the goal. In the end, the Cobbers took 12 total shots and were able to put six of those on the frame. St. Mary's had 20 shots in the game with 15 on goal.

Concordia goalie Mads Schmidt posted a season-high 13 saves, while Cardinal keeper Jon Szafranski made six stops to pick up his second win, and second shutout, of the season.

The Cobbers return home for a non-conference game next week. Concordia will host UW-Superior on Thursday, Oct. 5 at 3 p.m. at Jake Christiansen Athletic Complex.
