Season Outlook and Notes:
The biggest question for the Concordia volleyball team will be how to avoid the "sophomore jinx". After having a roster of all first year players in 2001, the Cobbers will be looking to improve on their fifth place finish from a year ago. Coach Tim Mosser will have the foundation for a top team in the MIAC since all but one starter has returned for her sophomore season. The Cobbers will need setter Jessica Walden and hitter Jackie Barten to continue to have success if they will have a chance at the MIAC playoffs. Barten was the only first-year player selected to the MIAC All-Conference team in 2001. She led the league in blocks with 50 and was also named the MIAC player of the week at the beginning of October. Walden led the team in assists (9.03apg) and service aces (37) ... This season will mark Mosser's 10th year at the helm of the Cobbers. In his first nine seasons he has compiled a mark of 152-141 ... The Cobbers have a chance to win their 400th game as a volleyball program this year. The program started in 1976 and has collected 388 victories in the first 26 seasons ... Concordia will play all four of last year's MIAC playoff participants in a seven-day stretch in late September and early October. The Cobbers will host St. Thomas on September 25th, St. Olaf on the 27th and St. Mary's on the 28th before traveling to St. Paul to take on league champion Bethel on October 1st.
