QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "This was the first time we have seen that kind of athleticism and pressure, so it took a while for us to adjust to the pace and the chaos. Once we settled in, we were pretty good. Unfortunately, we gave away some cheap goals right away and were always going to be chasing the game from then on."
• "Aidan Sim-Campos was really effective for us and provided the link we needed to break their lines. He banged one off the crossbar in the sixth minute, and that gave us a quick lift." 
• "Overall, it was a game of two different styles. They were better at what they do than we were at what we do. There aren't any secrets to what we do or how we play -- we just have to execute and be sharp with the details as we move forward."
• "We look forward to hosting UW-Platteville on Sunday. Enzo is a good friend of mine, and our programs toured Italy at the same time a few years ago. They had a nice result today at Hamline, and we will be looking to bounce back and demonstrate growth and try to get some points in the game."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg hosts Wisconsin-Platteville on Sunday (9/10) at 1 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field.
