QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "I thought Luke Falk and Daniel Hedstrom did a really good job organizing the defense and keeping the game in front of us, and Daniel in particular stood out as he was more active in the air and saved a sure goal off the line at the end."
• "Lionel and Aidan are a dangerous partnership and they both created a few chances for us tonight. Lionel drew the penalty, and that's going to happen more this year. He's just too shifty and quick with his feet. Tommy Picka got his first start tonight and made an impact immediately with his second goal of the season. He's been so calm and mature in the games and provides us some real potent, incisive passing as we get deep into our attack."
• "Overall, we have to continue to concentrate and make our scoring chances count. We all know how vital goals are, and as we move into MIAC play against a Bethel team we haven't beaten since 2014, we know even more how important it is to make them count."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg opens Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference play on Saturday (9/16) at 1 p.m., with a game at Bethel.
