QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER:
• "Nothing really to be disappointed about beyond the result. That was a great effort and performance by our guys, but we ran into a goalkeeper that played above himself today. Bobby had two sure goals saved, and on an early corner kick we thought a ghost popped up to clear it off the line. The guy was feeling it."
• "On the reverse side, we conceded just three shots on goal, but two of them found the back of the net. The first goal came as a result of us failing to deal with the bouncing ball and a quick throw in. We were not sharp in the moment and Hamline made us pay. Their second goal was a good one. We defended well, but not quite tight enough."
• "Peyton finally gave us more hope with about 10 minutes to play on a great shot, and we kept pressing for the tying goal, but we just ran out of time. "
• "With nine points left on the table and the top three teams in the league left to play, we face a tall task. Oddly, I kind of like it that way. I'd certainly prefer to be on 21 points at this stage, but our reality is what it is, Now let's see if we can achieve something great."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg travels to face Martin Luther in a nonconference contest on Monday (10/17) at 3:30 p.m.
• Hamline plays at Northwestern-St. Paul on Monday at 4 p.m.
