MINNEAPOLIS -- Augsburg College defensive linemann Alex Glasenapp (SR, Minneapolis, Minn./South HS) was named to the D3football.com Team of the Week for one of the top defensive performances in the country in NCAA Division III football this week, it was announced on Tuesday.

Glasenapp, who was named MIAC Co-Defensive Player of the Week on Monday, 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.

The Team of the Week award is given by D3football.com, a national website that covers NCAA Division III football.
