The three tournament wins capped off a perfect season for the Cougars who finished with a record of 8-0. The tournament concluded another successful year of intramural volleyball that featured 12 teams and over 80 registered players. Intramurals are a fantastic way to get involved and have clean, competitive fun with fellow students as well as Concordia faculty. In fact, the championship game featured two of CUC\u2019s faculty members in Dr. Christian Hauser (Associate Professor of Music) of the Meerkats and the Cougar\u2019s Kathy Gebhardt, CUC\u2019s Associate Dean of Students. Concordia juniorPetar Arbov, a member of the Cougar\u2019s championship team, had nothing but positive things to say about intramurals at CUC. \u201cHaving a team of friends and having friendly competition with other people was a great experience. I encourage anyone who likes to participate in sports, no matter how good they are, to join or make a team.\u201d \u00a0Don\u2019t miss out on the fun when volleyball returns to CUC next fall.<\/p>\n<p>Follow the latest updates from intramural sports:<\/p>\n<p>On Facebook: <em>CUC: Intramurals and Recreational Sports<\/em><\/p>\n<p>On Twitter: <em>@CUCIMLeagues<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>By Daniel Hasko On November 20th, Geiseman Gymnasium played host to an eight-team single elimination tournament\u00a0 to determine the champion of this year\u2019s intramural volleyball campaign.
