Baseball (19-12/10-4 MIAC - split at Carleton W 7-5/L 4-5/

split with St. Olaf W 5-2/L 5-15/swept Gustavus 11-4 & 3-2)

- Concordia swept Gustavus 11-4 and 3-2 on Tuesday to pick up their 10th MIAC win of the season. The Cobbers are currently 10-4 in league play and tied with defending national champion St. Thomas for first place in the MIAC. It marks the 10th time in the last 12 years that CC has won at least 10 conference games in a season.

- Cobber senior outfielder Nick Lewis (Fergus Falls, Minn.) had at least one hit in all six games last week and has now successfully reached base in 20 straight games. That ties the school record for most consecutive games with at least one hit. Former All-American Kyle Johnson had a 20-game streak in 2008.

Sele finished her first year by hitting .347 and leading the team in home runs and RBI.

Ruth Ranum (Jr., Circle Pines, Minn./Centennial HS), Kari Ludwig (Fr., Osakis, Minn.) and Kristin Slette (Sr., Moorhead, Minn.) ran a 1:47.19 at the Drake Relays.

- CC junior Zach Kappes (Moorhead, Minn.) posted his most consistent tournament of the year as he shot three scores in the low 70's and finished one shot back of Deitz at 218.
