"Concordia has been getting beneficial results as of late," Madison Kroger said.  "Last time we saw them we gave up a soft goal, but were able to battle back, find the equalizer, and come away with a point.  Despite the quick turnaround on travel and playing, it is crucial for us to lock-in against Concordia and get the results we need for three points."
