QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "Strand has been growing as a player every day this season. His work rate and passion are top-notch and today's goal was the reward. I'm excited to see him keep moving forward. It was equally as rewarding for Torjus to be in on the goal, as he has been patient and committed all season."
• "Bobby Kohl and Barinedum Kordah (SO, Brooklyn Park, Minn./Park Center HS) were stellar in defense. There were a few moments that required their individual quality to shine and they lived up to it. This was arguably Barinedum's best match this season." 
• "Collectively, we came with more energy and determination in the second half after giving Concordia some opportunities in the first half. If this team can maintain that moving forward, we will keep improving and finding ways to earn valuable points."
