MOORHEAD, Minn. (4/12/26)---Concordia finished its final home stand of the season with a split of its weekend matches as they dropped a 6-1 decision to Macalester on the annual Senior Celebration Day.
A day after grinding out a 4-3 win over Hamline, the Cobbers couldn't continue the momentum and had their 3-match win streak come to an end.

The Cobbers dropped the team point for doubles as they lost two of the three matches. The No.3 dubs team of Kai Pierce and Carson Anderson earned the lone win. They were able to outlast their opponents with a 7-5 win. The duo is now 2-0 on the season.
The match may have turned at the No.2 doubles spot where Logan Sandberg and Kai Kringlie went back-and-forth in their match before losing 7-3 in the tie breaker.
The lone singles win came in the No.6 spot where first-year athlete Ryan Bitz claimed the in in the super set. Bitz sprinted out to a 6-2 win in the opening set but then lost by an identical 6-2 margin in set No.2. Bitz was able to take command of the super set from the first serve and went on to win 10-4.
