Game Recap: BLAINE, Minn. (02/02/07)-- There was no need for a deeper look into the game statistics to find out why Concordia fell to Bethel on Friday. The five unanswered third-period goals are all the proof that was needed to show the difference in the Cobbers' 8-2 loss to the Royals at the National Sports Center - Super Rink. The loss is the eighth straight for the Cobbers who remain winless since the calendar turned to 2007. CC is now 6-12-0 overall and 2-7-0 in the MIAC.

Bethel jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first period behind a pair of even-strength goals less than two minutes apart, midway through the opening period. Concordia got on the board at the 3:19 mark of the second period when Sean Lofgren netted his third goal of the year. The Royals then regained the two-goal cushion three minutes later before Cobber sophomore Cory Johnson sent the teams into the second intermission with a goal at 15:00. Johnson's goal was his fourth of the year and featured an assist by Lofgren who had two points in the game. Through the first two periods, the Cobbers were outshot 36-17 but were within one goal heading into the final 20 minutes. In the third period, Bethel scored five goals on 14 shots on net.
