2022-23 CLHS GIRLS SOCCER
2022-23 CLHS BOYS SOCCER
DESPITE FACING A FEW SETBACKS THROUGHOUT THE SEASON, THE CRUSADERS MANAGED TO SHOW SOME RESILIENCY ON THE PITCH, ESPECIALLY IN THE TAPPS-DI POSTSEASON. CLHS advanced to the Area Round, where they narrowly fell to Nolan Catholic by a score of 3-2. However, the boys should remain optimistic considering this season had some bright spots. Particularly, their anchor of the backline senior Caleb Symons and senior forward/midfielder Evan Kastenschmidt, who left a solid legacy at Concordia Lutheran. The return of sophomore midfielder Trent Culver, along with the team’s further experience should provide the push that Concordia Lutheran needs to take their game to the next level in 2023.
CLHS GIRLS SOCCER WAS IN REBUILDING-MODE IN 2023 AFTER LOSING NINE SENIORS TO GRADUATION LAST SEASON. THE CRUSADERS FOUGHT THROUGH A TOUGH DISTRICT (9-9 OVERALL; 5-7 IN DISTRICT) TO ADVANCE TO THE TAPPS POSTSEASON. Leading the way was senior captain Katelyn Denley, who capped off her final season at Concordia with second-team, all-state and first-team, all-district nods for her leadership on the pitch. In addition, senior forward Allesandra Dewenter was particularly efficient in her goal-scoring ability. In 2023, she combined for 26 goals and 12 assists with sophomore Gretchen Kastenschmidt, who will look to lead the CLHS attack next season.
