CACC Champs!!!

Hop on the Magic Bus and celebrate a CACC Championship. The Clippers traveled to Philadelphia once again and captured the title defeating Philadelphia University 5-0 (click here for boxscore).

This finally completes our undefeated 14-0 conference slate which translates into an overall CACC match record of 117-2, or as I like to call it 117-Dane (I am just saying). Philly U. came to play hard today and we are thankful for that. Coach Cha had the Rams fired up and inspired to give their best effort. That they did. We were able to sweep the doubles, but it certainly was the closest group of pro-sets of our three meetings on the year. Wasting little time, Tamas and Andreas cruised in singles to get us to the finish line in the race to five without yielding a point to our opponents. The Clippers were comfortably ahead on all other courts when the racquets went down signifying the victory.

With the Championship, Concordia will now have an automatic bid into the NCAA II tournament in May. It is expected that we will be the #1 seed in the region and a favorite to return to the National Final 16 in Orlando for the 6th consecutive year.

You have to hand it to the CACC as they kindly presented the team with individual plaques and watches as well as a team banner, trophy and plaque displaying our team photo. In addition, we were treated to cheese steaks after the match at Chubby's. Very tasty indeed and just what I needed after a day full of absolutely no exercise whatsoever.

A special thanks to Magic Bus riders Ivan and Erin. We are so pleased that you guys made the trip to lend support and witness the event. Thanks for all of your love and effort throughout the year. We could not enjoy such success without the contributions of the many folks in the athletic department and we hope to make you all proud going forward.

Next up for the Clippers is the annual athletic banquet tomorrow. This is a special event that allows us to celebrate all athletes and their contributions while representing the school. Congratulations in advance to you all and especially those winning major awards.
It has been a season that I will always remember. I have been so blessed over the years to be associated with so many fine folks, both players and staff. I will not soon forget the opportunity to meet and play a role in so many young people's lives. I hope that I have had a positive impact on this program that has meant so much to me. However, that being said we still have some work left to do this season. I hope that the proper dedication and preparation will lead us to our ultimate goal.
