HOW IT HAPPENED
• The victory is the first-ever for Augsburg at Macalester in the Auggie women's soccer team's 30-season history. Augsburg snapped a 15-game losing streak at Macalester, dating to the 1985 season.
• Muyres scored both goals, her sixth and seventh of the season, on assists from Molly Allen (SR, Stillwater, Minn.), putting the Auggies in front 1-0 with a goal at the 9:35 mark and giving the Auggies the eventual winning margin with a goal at the 58:02 mark. Muyres headed home both goals off of crosses by Allen.
• Augsburg outshot Macalester by a 12-9 margin, including an 8-5 advantage in the second half. Augsburg also had six corner kicks to Macalester's two in the game.
• Muyres had six shots for the Auggies, while Ashley Waalen (SO, Amery, Wis.) had two shots.
• Marissa Guillou (FY, Burnsville, Minn./Apple Valley HS) earned the victory in goal for Augsburg with three saves.

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE
• Muyres, who set Augsburg's career points record in the Auggies' 2-1 win over Bethel on Saturday, now has 38 goals and 23 assists for 99 points in 65 career games, tying Millie Suk (2002-05). Muyres' 23 assists are tied for third-most in school history.
• Allen expanded upon her school record for career assists with her two-assist night, giving her 32 in her four seasons.
• Friday's game marked the eighth multi-goal game of Muyres' career, while it was the sixth multi-assist game of Allen's career.
• Augsburg has now outscored its opponents by a 30-8 margin in its nine games, including an 8-2 margin in conference play.

QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "The team was definitely committed tonight, particularly the seniors. I thought our goals were well-constructed and, despite being too frenetic at times, we are able to establish enough of a rhythm to circulate the ball and create the chances we needed."
• "I thought the depth of our team showed a bit tonight. We've had to deal with an inordinate amount of injuries lately. Fortunately, we had players step up and give us solid performances."
• "Concordia poses a big challenge for us on Wednesday. They are having a great season and deserve the recognition they are receiving."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg travels to face Concordia-Moorhead on Wednesday (10/1) at 4 p.m.
• Macalester hosts Saint Benedict on Wednesday at 7:30 p.m.
