MOORHEAD, Minn. -- Jim Jensen (JR, Plymouth, Minn./Osseo HS) and Nick Guran (SO, McHenry, Ill./McHenry East HS) had a goal and assist each, as Augsburg College claimed its eighth victory in its last 10 games with a 4-1 triumph over Concordia College-Moorhead in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference men's hockey game on Friday night at the Moorhead Sports Center.

Joel Sauer (JR, Madison, Wis./Memorial HS) and Kris Reinthaler (FY, Graz, Austria/Spring Creek Academy (Texas) HS) scored goals for Augsburg (10-5-2 overall, 3-3-1 MIAC), which snapped a two-game losing streak with the victory.

The Auggies scored twice in a 16-second span early in the second period, as Jensen scored from Guran at the 5:40 mark, and Guran followed with an unassisted goal at the 5:56 mark. Concordia trimmed the lead just 20 seconds later, as Nick Thielen scored from Pat Deitz and Aaron Wheeler.
