THE BASICS
FINAL SCORE: Augsburg 3, Gustavus 0
LOCATION: Edor Nelson Field, Minneapolis
RECORDS: Augsburg 6-2-1 overall (4-0-1 MIAC), Gustavus 6-3-1 overall (3-2-0 MIAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
• With the victory, Augsburg remains in first place in the MIAC standings with a 4-0-1 league mark and 13 conference points, a point ahead of second-place St. Olaf's 12 (4-1-0 in conference play).
• Gabriela Encarnacion (SO, Bel Air, Md./Bel Air HS), a transfer from St. Mary's (Md.), scored her first goal as an Auggie at the 33:00 mark, taking a long feed from Jessy Wiskofske (JR, Wausau, Wis./Wausau West HS) in the penalty box. She fired a shot off the right goalpost, and the ball skated along the goal line and went into the net off the inside of the left goalpost.
• Ashley St. Aubin (SO, Burnsville, Minn./Burnsville HS) scored her team- and MIAC-leading 11th goal of the season at the 46:23 mark, taking a right-side feed from Annelise Peterson (FY, Chaska, Minn./Chaska HS) and placing the ball above the goalkeeper and into the net.
• The Auggies scored on a Gustavus "own goal" in the 66th minute, as a centering attempt by St. Aubin on the left side of the net was redirected into the goal by a Gustavus defender.
• Goalkeeper Emily Chapman (SO, Elburn, Ill./Kaneland HS) claimed her first shutout win of the season and second of her Augsburg career, claiming a career-high nine saves in goal. Both teams had 13 shots in the game.
• St. Aubin had six shots in the game, while Nicole Ryan (FY, Minneapolis, Minn./Washburn HS) had three shots.

FOR THE FOES
• Ashley Becker had five saves in goal for the Gusties.
• Lauren Johnson had three shots for Gustavus, while Josie Mazzone, Chase Miller and Emily Skogseth had two shots each.

QUOTE FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• Great win for us tonight. Lately we have been a little off, and we challenged the players to get back to how we need to play. I thought the team responded very well. They were ready for the demands of the game tonight, and it was great to see this performance."
