Seniors Jordy Kamerling (Almere, The Netherlands/Moorhead HS), Paul Tuchscherer (Baxter, Minn./Brainerd HS) and junior Wills Wischer (Grand Forks, N.D./Red River HS) all earned postseason honors for the first time in their careers.

Kamerling and Tuchscherer earned the all-conference award for both singles and doubles play, while Wischer accomplished the feat for his prowess in singles competition.

The trio helped Concordia finish fifth in the MIAC regular season with a 5-4 record. The Cobbers then beat St. John's in the first round of the MIAC Tournament before losing to national power Gustavus in the semifinals. Concordia ended the year with an 8-8 overall record.

Kamerling led the team from his No.1 singles and doubles spot. He went 12-4 on the season and 7-2 in the MIAC in singles play. Both win totals are career highs for Kamerling. His only two losses in the conference came in super-set tiebreakers. He finished his career with a 37-22 overall record.

Teaming with Tuchscherer as the team's No.1 doubles tandem, the pair went 8-7 overall and 5-4 in MIAC competition. It was the first season that the two singles stalwarts had been teamed as doubles partners.

Tuchscherer went 11-5 as the team's No.3 singles player. He was also 6-3 in league play. He scored the pivotal win in the Cobbers' 5-4 win over the Johnnies in the MIAC playoffs. Over his four-year career, Tuchscherer went 45-15 and had double-digit win totals in three of the four seasons. His highwater mark for wins came in 2005 when he went 15-3.

Wischer played the entire year in the team's No.2 singles spot. He went 6-3 in the MIAC and 9-7 overall. He also went 7-3 in his last ten singles matches of the year.
