QUOTE FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "We knew this was going to be a tough game. Saint Mary's was organized and hard to get behind, and the weather conditions made it difficult to possess. Fortunately Morgan was able to score from distance in the first half, shortly after play was re-started, and that proved to be the difference. Now we turn our attention to Carleton, which is one of the best teams in the region. Saturday night should be a great game."

• Saint Mary's travels to face Saint Benedict on Saturday at 2 p.m.
