WAVERLY, Iowa -- Olivia Muyres (SR, Rochester, Minn./Lourdes HS) scored the lone goal of the game for Augsburg College in the 62nd minute, but it wasn't enough to overcome an early deficit in a 4-1 loss to host Wartburg College in a nonconference women's soccer contest on Sunday.

QUOTE FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "Disappointed. We just didn't work hard enough in the first half. As a result, we found ourselves down 2-0. We did well to get back in the match and had a great chance to equalize. Unfortunately, we were unable to convert and gave up a goal against the run of play, which really hurt as it gave Wartburg the confidence and cushion to secure the result. Wartburg is a solid team, I look for them to have a great season. Overall, we are a solid team as well, but must play hard each half in order to be among the best teams in the region."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg travels to face Grinnell (Iowa) on Saturday (9/13) at 3 p.m.
• Wartburg travels to face Saint Benedict on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
