QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "Despite our possession, we were not proficient at breaking Macalester down. Credit Macalester for defending well and finding a goal on a set piece in the second half. Tomorrow's game against UW-River Falls provides us with an immediate opportunity to improve our ability to be more creative and dynamic offensively. Hopefully, we can recover quickly and continue to grow."
