UW Stevens Point 10 Concordia 1

Bethel 5 Concordia 2
It looked so easy as Falcon newcomer Jackie Drews, a UW Stevens Point transfer, slapped home the game’s first score less than four minutes into the contest. From that point on, however, CUW was frustrated by outstanding Bethel goaltending as the visitors came away with a 5-2 victory.
“We probably played our best offensive hockey of the season but it did not show on the scoreboard,” said a disappointed coach Jim Ingman. The Pipers and Falcons had played to a 3-3 tie earlier in the season in Minnesota. Concordia outshot Bethel 34-14 but the Falcons remain winless in their inaugural campaign.
December 8, 2007
UW-Eau Claire 6 Concordia 2
UW- Eau Claire, undefeated in the NCHA, handed the Falcons a 6-2 defeat on Saturday. A pair of Amber Cmejla goals kept CUW within striking distance at 4-2 heading into the final period.

UW-River Falls 6 Concordia 3
Trailing 4-1 near the end of the second period, the Falcons rallied to make a game of it.

Cmejla was outstanding with two assists in addition to her lone tally.

UW Superior 3 Concordia 0
The Falcons gave a much better account of themselves on Saturday night. Superior’s Brianne Mosher started the scoring for the Jackets with a short-handed goal early in the first and Shana Katz added another marker for the winners before the end of that period. Katz, who tallied 6 times over the course of the weekend, also added a second period goal. The Jackets out-shot the young Falcons 48-11. CUW fell to 0-6-2.

UW-Eau Claire 2 Concordia 1

Hamline 3 Concordia 2
Concordia's first-ever home hockey game was everything a person could hope for...except a win. A raucous full house witnessed a fast-paced, intense contest that was not decided until the final minute when Hamline's Heather Ahler's slipped a shot past CUW's Katie Hirsch for the game-winner.
This thriller was tied 0-0 after one period, and 1-1 after two speedy segments. Concordia's Sarah Luberda had just evened things at 2-2 with less than three minutes remaining in regulation before Ahlers' deciding tally.
