QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "Lionel Vang just saved our season. His free kicks were perfect knowing we absolutely had to score them."
• "We adapted well in the second half, after a very disjointed first half of play. It was tricky -- there were a lot of things to deal with, so I am pleased we showed some flexibility in the end."
• "TJ Johnson was really good on the day -- outstanding really. He had a penalty called against him, but it was a perfect tackle. He was so important, especially as we moved Luke forward."
• "At St. Thomas on Tuesday -- the best team in our league. We will see if we can continue to keep our season alive."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg travels to face league-leader St. Thomas on Tuesday (10/24) at 3:30 p.m.
