QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "Chicago deserves to advance, they are strong and solid in all phases of the game. Unfortunately, injuries and illnesses prevented us from putting our best side together. That being said, we gave a great effort today. We created solid scoring chances and fought hard all over the field. As for the seniors: Wow, I am so honored to have coached them. Beyond the historic accomplishments and success on the field, they leave a legacy of love; their love for each other, their teammates, and Augsburg is impressive and enduring. Our program will be forever indebted to these special women, and now we must do our best to honor their legacy by continuing our work to evolve, ascend, and inspire."
