QUOTE FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "We knew this was going to be a difficult game. St. Catherine is tough to play and they were determined to continue their historic season. Fortunately, we were able to play good soccer, find a couple of goals, and remain solid defensively. We have to recover quickly and focus on playing St. Thomas tomorrow. We understand that St. Thomas will be rested and prepared, but we embrace the challenge."
