Glasenapp named MIAC Player of Week

Alex Glasenapp
MINNEAPOLIS -- Augsburg College defensive lineman Alex Glasenapp (SR, Minneapolis, Minn./South HS) was named Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Football Co-Defensive Player of the Week, it was announced on Monday.

Glasenapp recorded 10 tackles (six solo), including 2.5 sacks, in Augsburg's 27-20 win at Concordia-Moorhead on Saturday. After Augsburg scored in its overtime session, Glasenapp claimed two sacks against Concordia's offense, including a 16-yard sack on fourth-down-and-10 from the Augsburg 11 on the final play of the game.

On the season, Glasenapp leads Augsburg's defensive linemen, while ranking fourth overall among Auggie defenders, with 38 tackles, including six tackles for loss and a team-high three sacks.

The win over Concordia was Augsburg's first at Concordia's Jake Christiansen Stadium in Moorhead since a 13-3 win on Sept. 17, 1994. Augsburg also broke a nine-game losing streak to the Cobbers with the victory, Augsburg's fifth overtime victory in its nine extra-session games since the NCAA introduced overtime in college football in 1996.

Glasenapp shared the weekly MIAC honor with Bethel defensive back David Vavra, who had eight tackles, two interceptions and a fumble recovery in Bethel's 20-17 win over Hamline on Saturday.

Augsburg, now 3-3 overall and 2-2 in MIAC play, will host Gustavus Adolphus College this Saturday (10/24) at 1 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field in Minneapolis.
