QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "A great win for us tonight. Our first goal was a brilliant strike by Ashley that was created by Lauren's ability and determination to attack out of the back. The second goal was a result of a great passing sequence that started from our ability to switch the point of the attack. It was great to see the players create these moments for themselves. The last two weeks of the regular season are shaping up to be exciting!"
