Meet Recap
MOORHEAD, Minn. (11/22/08)--Concordia hosted the annual Cobber Open on Saturday in Moorhead. The Cobbers welcomed eight different teams and over a hundred wrestlers to the invitational. Concordia, St. Cloud State and MSU Moorhead were the three teams that came away with individual weight class champions. The Cobbers had three athletes earn individual champions.

For the entire meet Concordia had 16 wrestlers place in the top six of their weight class. Concordia had at least one wrestler make the top six in all 10 weight classes.

Cobber sophomore Phil Moenkedick (Perhman, Minn.) continued his quest to achieve All-America status as he remained unbeaten on the season. Monekedick was a perfect 3-0 at the Cobber Open to win the 184-lb weight class. He improved his overall season record to 8-0.

CC All-American Tony Neumann (Willmar, Minn.) also won his weight class at the Open. He went 3-0 and won the 197-lb weight class. He is now 9-2 on the year and leads the team in victories.

Freshman Daron Hohbein (Mandan, N.D.) carried on his early-season success. He went 4-0 at 125 to claim the championship. Hohbein's biggest win of the meet came in the championship match where he scored a 7-5 decision over Corey Ulmer from MSU Moorhead. That win avenged a loss that Hohbein suffered against Ulmer in the quarterfinals of the Bison Open on Nov. 15.

Ben Anderson (So., Frazee, Minn.) and Lane Lunde (Jr., West Fargo, N.D.) captured runner-up finishes in their weight classes for Concordia. Anderson lost 7-3 in the title match at 141 and Lunde fell in the championship bout at 157.

Concordia will have a two-week break for the Thanksgiving holiday before returning to action at the Dargon Open on Dec. 6.
