QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "Too bad we had to play with 10 tonight ... but I don't think you would have noticed, because what we did with 10 showed an incredible amount of heart and spirit. We kept the ball well, created dangerous chances both in the run of play and on dead balls, and covered a lot of ground in the process."
• "Bobby Kohl was a real threat tonight, and we saw great mobility from Barinedum getting up and down from right back. Glad he finally got on the scoreboard with that goal because we have struggled with that particular moment recently. Bobby's service was right where it needed to be and 'B' smashed it home."
• "Overall, I couldn't be prouder of this group. We stayed true to who we are, even when we had to alter our plan. We worked relentlessly and supported each other, and I know that this group is good. Concordia is a difficult mid-week trip, no matter how you cut it. They are a much improved side, and I respect the hell out of Ben. I believe in our group. I love every moment I get to be around them, and I know they will be rewarded for their work."
