QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "A solid home opener for us tonight. We were able to create a lot of chances and play several players, which was beneficial as we have three games this week. We were more organized and aggressive in the penalty area tonight, which were encouraging signs as we continue to try build this year's team. We will recover quickly and make sure we are ready to play on the road Tuesday night at Bethany Lutheran."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg travels to Mankato, Minn., on Tuesday (9/8) at 7 p.m. to face Bethany Lutheran.
