QUOTE FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "It wasn't our best performance today, but St. Scholastica had a lot to do with that. They were difficult to break down and get behind. Fortunately we were able to get an outstanding goal from distance in overtime from Natalee."
• "We have to recover quickly as we get back into conference play on Saturday against Hamline. Hamline seems to be building off their successful season last year, and is playing very well under their new coach Emily Cripe. We expect a difficult game."
