Complete MIAC All-Conference Awards List

---

MOORHEAD, Minn. (3/5/09)-- Concordia made a clean sweep of all the major awards on the MIAC All-Conference list and had a total of five players and head coach Jessica Rahman earn conference postseason honors.

Senior Jenna Freudenberg was rewarded for her tremendous season by being named the MIAC Most Valuable Player. She becomes the fifth player in school history to earn the league's top honor. She is the first since current St. Mary's head coach Mandy Pearson won the award in back-to-back seasons in 2003-04.

Rahman was named the MIAC Coach of the Year for the second time in her career. She guided the Cobbers, who were predicted to finish fifth in the MIAC Coaches Preseason Poll, to a second-place finish in the league standings, a spot in the conference championship game and a trip to the NCAA Tournament. Rahman also won Coach of the Year honors in 2005.

Joining Freudenberg and Rahman as top-award recipients was sophomore Maggie Bauernfeind who was named the league's Sixth Player of the Year. She is the first Cobber to win the award since 2001 when Kasey Bostow also earned the honor.

Besides Freudenberg, Rahman and Bauernfeind, freshman Jenna Green was named to the MIAC All-Conference Team while Sara Sorbo earned MIAC All-Conference Honorable Mention honors and Lindsey Schultz was placed on the league's All-Defensive Team.

Freudenberg led the team in scoring and assists in conference game. She averaged 17.0 points per game and 4.3 assists in the team's 22 MIAC games. She finished third in the MIAC in scoring and third in assists. She was also in the top 10 in field goal percentage, free throw percentage, 3-point field goal percentage and minutes played.

She had at least 10 points in 21 of the team's 22 league games and scored at least 20 points in seven games. She had a career-high 34 points against conference champion St. Ben's on Feb. 7. The 34 points was the second highest single game point total in program history. She also had at least four assists in 15 games and had a career-high 10 assists against Gustavus on Jan. 24.

Freudenberg was named to the ESPN The Magazine Academic All-District Team earlier in the year and was also named the MIAC Player of the Week twice during the season.
