QUOTE FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "It was obviously an important game tonight. Saint Benedict is an excellent team and presented a huge challenge for us. I thought we were rattled in the first half, but got some composure back in the second and ultimately created the opportunities we needed. The MIAC is so competitive, there is still a lot of work to do.  We will enjoy a short break from the fury and embrace the opportunity to play a nonconference game on Monday against Finlandia."
