HOW IT HAPPENED
• Following a yellow card against the UW-Oshkosh goalkeeper at the 83:45 mark, Augsburg was awarded a free kick inside the UW-Oshkosh penalty area. Griffin collected a rebound off a blocked free kick by Bobby Kohl (SO, Shorewood, Wis.) and scored his second goal of the season at the 83:53 mark.
• UW-Oshkosh scored at the 84:30 mark, following a free kick by Nick Woodbury (SO, Cary, Ill./Prairie Ridge HS) and a shot from 15 yards out for a goal by Javier Simon (FY, Kimberly, Wis.).
• UW-Oshkosh outshot Augsburg by a 12-8 margin, including a 6-1 advantage in the first half. Augsburg had a 7-6 advantage in shots in the second half.
• Nick Lenertz (SO, Newport, Minn./Park HS) had five saves in goal for Augsburg.

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE
• Augsburg had three corner kicks, while not allowing a UW-Oshkosh corner kick in the game.
• Kohl had three shots to lead Augsburg in the game.
• Griffin recorded his seventh goal in 41 career games for the Auggies.

FOR THE FOES
• Hans Becker (JR, Madison, Wis./Memorial HS) opened the scoring for UW-Oshkosh with a goal from 20 yards out following a long feed by Trent Allison (JR, Appleton, Wis./Fox Valley Lutheran HS) in the 52nd minute. Becker had three shots in the game, while Simon had two shots.
• Nick Barry (SR, Wheaton, Ill./North HS) had one save in goal for UW-Oshkosh, an NCAA Division III national tournament team last season.

QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "This was another difficult test that really helps us get better as we prepare for the league. UW-Oshkosh is a top team, and we were in this game to the very end."
• "Tanner McCarthy (SR, Windsor Heights, Iowa/Dowling Catholic HS) made his debut and got a few minutes back out there, and he is only going to get more fit as we move forward. I thought Festus Lamin (SO, Little Canada, Minn./Roseville HS) did a nice job tonight as well in that same role."
• "Sunday's game at Wartburg will be equally as difficult, as they are once again a Top 25 team. It's our final test before the MIAC season starts, so hopefully we can sharpen the saw just a little bit more."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg travels to face Wartburg (Iowa) on Sunday (9/14) at 3 p.m.
• UW-Oshkosh travels to face Gustavus on Sunday at 1 p.m.
