QUOTE FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "We were not as sharp as we could have been in the first half, and Carleton was winning the majority of the 50/50 balls. However our defense, in particular Marissa, was solid. Fortunately, we had a much better effort collectively in the second half. I thought in the first 20 minutes of the second half, we were able to create some quality chances, culminating in a great goal by Ashley St Aubin. We will do our best to rest and prepare for a tough challenge Wednesday against ST. Catherine."
UP NEXT

• Carleton travels to face Saint Benedict next Saturday (9/24) at 1 p.m.
