2023 NCAA Division III The Season: Luther

 



Over two and a half decades later Coach Dave Mitchell is still the head of the Luther College Norse program. No doubt about it as he has seven times prior he will lead the white & blue to more top 5 NCAA Division III performances but the 22'-23' season is likely to be one of regrouping and reforming. Gone is 2021 All American Tyler Difiore as two tough starters return. 

157 lbs
Braeden Hendel 

A pretty impressive 23-10 record last season for the freshman from Mankato, Minnesota. Won some close matches including some sudden victories and some tiebreakers due to a solid gas tank. Found his first Regional medal taking 8th in the Lower Midwest. Will look for a second this season, preferably higher on the award stand. 

197 lbs
Donovan Corn 

The leader of the Norse this season will be Donovan Corn who has thus far had a pretty impressive career.  An All American during the COVID-19 season of 2021 placing 4th, he was 2nd in the Regional last season, one match shy of earning his second All American honor. If the Norse crown a regional champion this season, Corn who is capable of another top 8 NCAA DIII performance will be it.
