He's been one of the hardest workers and most dedicated kids in this program, and for him to have something tangible to show for his work was perfect."• "
Hussein Abdullahi (SR, Minneapolis, Minn./South HS) stood out tonight for us. He linked our team up well and was deceptive in his 1-v-1 moments. I just thought that overall he was very effective."• "
Jake Gilmer (FY, Independence, Minn./Orono HS) did a good job filling in for Chinyan, who gave us just a few minutes at the start of the match. He became more confident on the ball as the game wore on and was steady in his defensive moments."• "
Northwestern answered some questions we had coming in to the game and I know the guys will make the necessary adjustments moving forward to find and maintain the momentum we had coming out of the Carleton win."UP NEXT• Augsburg returns to action on Friday (9/25) at 7 p.m., with a nonconference game against Viterbo (Wis.) at Edor Nelson Field.
