Michigan’s second of two scrimmage opponents in the Big House on Sunday, Concordia (Wisc.) is a D-3 school based in Mequon, Wisconsin. They have animated .GIFs of lightning on their athletics website. This is not a joke (at least not one that they’re in on).
The Falcons were an awful squad last season – which, to be fair, was their first as a varsity squad – and Michigan should have a pretty easy time competing with them (hence the mini-preview instead of the full treatment). They finished #129 (our of 179 D-3 teams) to LaxPower’s computer rankings last season, despite their 8-6 record.
They were slaughtered 21-1 by Wittenberg, a team that Michigan’s club roster dispatched pretty easily last season. Against Michigan’s newly-varsity team, it shouldn’t be much of a contest, or the Wolverines are in for a loooooong 2012.
A trio of Falcons made the all-Midwest Lacrosse Conference honorable mention team. Freshmen attack Cody Chassels, midfielder Justin Krause, and defenseman Curtis Pridham are the players who earned distinction. Chassels put up 45 points to lead the team, while Krause scored 22 points and won 73 of 163 faceoffs. Zack Davis played every minute between the pipes for Concordia-Wisc.
