The wrestling team's current season standing means absolutely nothing. Head coach Doug Perry agrees that as the conference meet nears, records aren't important. According to Perry, teammates will encourage each other, but primarily each wrestler will be wrestling for himself. That caution is keeping the team from being aggressive enough, according to Perry. Perry feels that Concordia has faced most of the tough teams in the region because of scheduling.
Some grapplers say the problems and the losses have come because of little things.
We have to make fewer small mistakes. In these meets, there were no slouches. Qualifying for nationals is done on an individual basis, not a team basis. This changes the way Concordia functions as a team. For the MIAC championships, the teams feels it needs increased intensity.
