Welcome back to the Cobber sports information blog site. This will be the home for the “Road To The Playoffs” blog for the volleyball and women’s soccer teams as they head to St. Paul to compete in the NCAA Tournament.
The blog is being written by Jim Cella, the Concordia College Sports Information Director, who has the privilege to tag along with the Cobber women’s soccer and volleyball teams and their coaches as they make their way to the NCAA Tournament in St. Paul. The intent of this journal is to give readers an inside look as to what goes behind the scenes of an NCAA Division III athletic program. A different viewpoint than just the box scores and statistics as a group of athletes gets ready to compete on one of the most prestigious stages in all of college athletics – the NCAA Tournament.
The views written in this piece are entirely of the writer and not meant to harm or disrespect any of the athletes or school. It is merely an attempt to give the reader a greater understanding of what the coaches and athletes have to go through to get ready to perform at the highest level. I hope you enjoy the journal.
I will be heading down to St. Paul with the women’s soccer team as they will leave later on Thursday which will give me more time to prepare for the busy weekend. We will host the final football home game and also have the home opener for the women’s hockey team. Since I will be on the road my student work staff will be covering those games and I have to make sure everything is all ready.
I will also be attending the women’s soccer practice on Thursday and acting as the team’s institutional representative at the NCAA site meeting later that night. I will hoepfully hook up with the volleyball team on Friday at their pre-game and then on the way to the their opening national playoff match at St. Thomas.
Stay tuned for more updates along the road. In the meantime feel free to read some of the previous “Road to the Playoff” blogs:
