QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "That was a wild one. A neutral fan would have enjoyed it, for sure."
• "Peyton Boich was worth the price of admission. Both of his free kicks were of the highest quality and he worked so hard all game. He's a real student -- he wants to learn and grow and he's willing to do all the work. I am so excited to have him here."
• "Credit to Viterbo for fighting back into that one after trailing 4-1 at the half. Unfortunately, we made it possible with our sloppy play on the ball in the back third and our poor match management. This was unlike us -- we spent too much time focusing on the wrong things and we got what we deserved for it at the end of the game. We can just thank Peyton for bailing us out."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg returns to MIAC play on Tuesday (9/27) at 7:30 p.m., hosting Saint John's at Edor Nelson Field.
