"Grant has had a successful run while at Concordia," CWU Graduate Assistant Madison Kroger said.  "Last year we had a good battle and a great overall team effort against them.  Concordia lost a very talented senior group to graduation, so they are trying to find their way through a tough GNAC schedule.  It is important for us to continue from where we left off this weekend against Saint Martin's and continue to work on what we do well."
