Auggies claim big 4-1 win at St. Olaf

NORTHFIELD, Minn. -- Marie Fitzgerald (SR, Fort Atkinson, Wis.) scored two goals, leading the Augsburg College women's soccer team to a 4-1 win over St. Olaf College in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest on Wednesday afternoon.

THE BASICS
FINAL SCORE: Augsburg 4, St. Olaf 1
LOCATION: Rolf Mellby Field, Northfield, Minn.
RECORDS: Augsburg 12-5-0 overall (7-3-0 MIAC), St. Olaf 3-10-4 overall (2-7-1 MIAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Fitzgerald scored an unassisted goal in the 19th minute, then scored from Marta Anderson (JR, Mankato, Minn./Mankato East HS) in the 61st minute.
• Anderson scored Augsburg's first goal, an unassisted marker in the ninth minute.
• Nora Edelen (FY, Middleton, Wis.) put in Augsburg's other goal, scoring on a corner kick in the 27th minute.

• Anderson and Fitzgerald had three shots each for Augsburg, while Edelen had two shots.
• Marissa Guillou (SO, Burnsville, Minn./Apple Valley HS) had two saves in goal for the Auggies.

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE
• With the win, Augsburg remains in the hunt for a spot in the six-team MIAC postseason playoffs. While St. Thomas clinched the regular-season title with a win on Wednesday, Augsburg and Gustavus are in the driver's seat for the No. 2 seed and a first-round bye in the playoffs. St. Thomas has 25 conference points, while Augsburg and Gustavus are tied for second with 21 points. Gustavus would hold the tiebreaker advantage over Augsburg, based on the Gusties' 2-1 win over Augsburg on Oct. 10.
• Fitzgerald leads the MIAC's overall statistics in total points (29), while standing second in both goals (10) and assists (nine).
• Anderson leads the MIAC's overall statistics in assists with 10, while standing fourth in points with 22.
• Augsburg has outscored its opponents by a 45-13 margin this season. Its goal total is 13 more than the closest MIAC foe.

FOR THE FOES
• Madison Van Wylen scored the lone goal of the game for the Oles, a goal on a corner kick in the 32nd minute.
• Ruth Hesse had four saves in goal for St. Olaf.

QUOTE FROM AUGSBURG COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "Despite the conditions, we played well and got the job done. I was very encouraged by our effort and attitude today. Now we turn our focus to our match Saturday against St Thomas, which with its win today became this year's MIAC champions. I want to congratulate Sheila McGill and her team on this outstanding achievement."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg finishes the regular season on Saturday (10/31) at 3:30 p.m., hosting St. Thomas at Edor Nelson Field.
• St. Olaf travels to face Saint Benedict on Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
