Tristan Smith (@TristanSmitty1) is nothing but thankful for a college basketball career that landed him at Concordia for four memorable years and then at UNI for an appearance on the March Madness stage. When Tristan moved to Cedar Falls, the support from Concordia followed. Said Tristan, "It just goes to show you the level of community at Concordia and the support around athletics."

Fun working with a great group, coming off an amazing season! Amazing SportsPlex facility too.

[Coach Booth @CoachKBooth]

If I were a high school or college AD and had to choose between two coaches—one who’s great at relating to athletes and one who’s an expert in the sport—I’d choose the coach who connects with athletes every time.

Camp Week 2026 🔥

[Concordia Bulldogs @cunebulldogs]

We caught up today with @CUNEmbb alum Tristan Smith to follow up on his experience at UNI and for some reflection on his time as a Bulldog. More to come!

🗣️ Tristan: "I’ve got to give just about all the credit to Concordia ... The community at Concordia is just incredible. It’s been the most memorable four years of my life. I wouldn’t trade that for anything. I don’t think I would have gotten here if I hadn’t gone to Concordia."

[CUNE Women's Soccer @CUNEWSoccer]

Stats don’t tell the full story but they tell a compelling one…
