QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "We worked extremely hard, managed the ball particularly well, and scored some fantastic goals. This was our best performance of the season in terms of possession, and our movement was both efficient and dynamic. We saw good performances from a lot of players today."
• "I am disappointed that our seniors can't keep playing -- they've given so much to the program over their careers. They've been stewards of the program values and great role models for the community. They will be missed."
