Concordia Thunder Women's Soccer History

Beginning conference play in the Alberta College Athletics Conference (ACAC) during the 1993 season, the Concordia Thunder women’s program is one of the original athletic programs at Concordia. The Thunder women’s soccer program is also one of the most successful programs at Concordia. First making the playoffs in 1999, the women’s soccer team has made the playoffs in every year but two since. The program has captured two ACAC Conference Championships in 2009 and 2010, with the 2009 Thunder women’s soccer team going on to capture the 2009 CCAA Women’s Soccer National Championship – only the second national championship in Concordia history at the time. Qualifying for 23 ACAC Conference Championships, the women’s soccer program has medaled 15 times, and made five trips to the CCAA Women’s Soccer National Championships medaling twice.
