QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "Three points in our league are valued no matter what. This was a tricky game -- and Saint Mary's is a very good opponent. They have a goalkeeper that is top class. He absolutely kept them in this game, denying four sure goals."
• "It was good to finally get Ebesa Hamid back on the field, and although it's going to take some time to get his fitness up and get back into a rhythm, it's a boost for our team for sure."
• "TJ (T.J. Johnson) and Luke Falk did a good job keeping them in front of us and dealing with all their long throw-ins and long free kicks. Those are an absolute pain to deal with and we got through it with a clean sheet, something we've been aiming for in training."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg travels to face Saint John's on Tuesday (9/26) at 4 p.m.
• Saint Mary's hosts Bethel on Tuesday at 7 p.m.
