ST. JOSEPH, Minn. – The College of Saint Benedict volleyball team knows exactly where it stands heading into next week's MIAC Tournament, but it has one order of business to wrap up before heading into the postseason.
 
CSB – which sealed up the second seed in the MIAC Tournament – wraps up the regular season Saturday, Oct. 27, when it travels to Moorhead to take on Concordia College. The MIAC match starts at 3 p.m.
 
About the Cobbers
Concordia is 9-17 overall and 4-6 and tied for seventh in the conference standings with one game left to play in 2018. Heading into the last weekend of the season, the Cobbers have lost six of their last seven games. The team's lone win in that stretch was a sweep of Morris on Oct. 23. Haley Cuppett leads the team with 239 kills and Brianna Carney has 209, Jill Klaphake has 532 assists and Casey Coste has 330 digs. Kendra Wiggs is 10^th in the league with 78 total blocks.
 
Last Meeting
Saint Benedict beat the Cobbers 3-1 last season in a MIAC contest in St. Joseph. Earlier this season, CSB swept Concordia 3-0 in a nonconference matchup between the two teams at CSB's home tournament. CSB won 25-20, 25-17 and 25-22, and Hunter Weiss posted a team-high 11 kills. Claire Westby had a career-high 10 kills that match.
 
The Storyline
CSB already knows it has a bye in the first round of the playoffs Tuesday, but it's looking to stay on course and keep building momentum heading into the postseason. The team bounced back from a loss to Gustavus Saturday with a sweep of Macalester Wednesday, and is trying to push its current win streak to two matches Saturday afternoon. Concordia's season is over after Saturday, but the Cobbers are looking to end the season on a high note after a late-season skid.
 
Who to Watch
Sophomore setter Katie Koch reached the 1,000-assist milestone Wednesday against the Scots, and she now has 1,011 in her career. Hunter Weiss had 12 kills against Macalester, and Liz Schultz had nine kills and 12 digs, just missing her 10^th double-double of the season. Both Hunter and Madison Weiss hit above .600 for the Scots in the team's MIAC sweep.
