QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "The effort was there today for certain. The guys worked hard, and got back in the game after giving away the first goal -- which was extremely well taken by Gio."
• "We had all the momentum at the end and in the first overtime. We made a decision to try and play out of a tight space in the back third that came back to bite us in the end. Credit to Superior -- they scored two classy goals." 
• "This will serve as another positive moment in the season. It may not feel like it now, but we got better today and the game put us in circumstances we hadn't been in yet. To be able to see a variety of things in a nonconference schedule is exactly what we want."
• "Now we get to concentrate on the league and Bethel, as we honor the 1974 Championship team and legendary coach Rolf Eriksen on Tuesday."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg hosts Bethel on Tuesday (9/23) at 7:30 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field.
• UW-Superior hosts Luther (Iowa) on Saturday (9/20) at 1 p.m.
