QUOTE FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE

• "We are obviously excited about the opportunity we have before us. However, we realize that we need to be better and that St. Thomas will provide a great challenge for us on Saturday."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg finishes its regular season with a game against St. Thomas on Saturday (11/1) at 7 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field.
• St. Olaf finishes its season with a home game against Carleton on Saturday at 1 p.m.
