MOORHEAD, Minn. (10/18/11)—Cobber volleyball fans were treated to two sweeps for the price of one on Tuesday as No.9-ranked Concordia swept UM-Morris (25-14, 25-16, 25-14) and Mayville State (25-16, 25-20, 25-21) in the final non-conference matches of the season.

Concordia has now won seven straight matches – all by identical 3-0 sweeps. The Cobbers are 19-3 on the season and have won their last 12 matches by 3-0 sweeps. CC has now won 47 of their last 54 overall sets.

Concordia closed out the first set by winning 11of the final 14 points. The second set was won at the end. The Cougars hung tight for the first 31 points of the set and only trailed 16-15. That's when the Cobbers stepped up and went on a 9-1 to close out the middle set.  Morris was never able to recover that string, and after staying tight with CC for the first 11 points of the final set, they watched as Concordia went on a 6-0 run which turned into a 13-9 run to close out the match.

Steph Schmiesing had a team-high six kills while Natalie Thomas finished with 17 assists and Kaylie Clark had 10 digs.

The nightcap was more of the same as the Cobbers hit better than .200 in all three sets and held Mayville State under .100 for the match and cruised to a 3-0 win. Concordia pulled away from the Comets in the middle of the first set and then at the end of both the second and third sets. The Cobbers won seven of the final nine points in the second set after the score was tied at 18-18.
