HOW IT HAPPENED
• Augsburg dominated throughout Wednesday's contest, maintaining a firm hold on possession while outshooting St. Scholastica by a 34-14 margin -- including a 24-9 advantage in the first half. Augsburg's 34 shots are its most in a single game since collecting 41 in a 5-0 win over Minnesota Morris on Sept. 6, 2015.
• Recording the ninth multi-goal game of her collegiate career, St. Aubin scored goals in the 29th, 50th and 83rd minutes for the Auggies.
• For the opener, St. Aubin took a midfield pass from Jessy Wiskofske (SR, Wausau, Wis./Wausau West HS) and sprinted down the left side, firing a crossing shot to the lower right corner of the net.
• Gabriela Encarnacion (JR, Bel Air, Md./Bel Air HS) worked a give-and-go feed to St. Aubin for her second goal of the game. Late in the contest, St. Aubin converted her second career penalty kick for the hat trick.
• Moments after St. Aubin's penalty kick, Augsburg goalkeeper Emily Chapman (JR, Elburn, Ill./Kaneland HS) made a dramatic save on a St. Scholastica penalty kick attempt, keeping her clean sheet intact for her fourth career shutout. She stopped all six shots on-goal she faced.
• St. Aubin had 12 shots in the game, including eight on-goal. Encarnacion had six shots, and Wiskofske had five shots. Olivia House (JR, Richfield, Minn./Richfield HS) and Natalee Lessert (SO, Farmington, Minn./Farmington HS) had three shots each.

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE
• St. Aubin now has 35 goals in her 44 career games, the fourth-most in school history, and 81 career points (35 goals, 11 assists), now fifth-most in school history. Augsburg's school records for goals (46) and points (119) are both held by Olivia Muyres '15 (2011-14).
• Chapman's penalty kick save was the first for an Augsburg goalkeeper since Marissa Guillou had a PK save in a 4-0 win over St. Thomas on Oct. 31, 2015.

FOR THE FOES
• Roni Rudolph collected 14 saves in goal for St. Scholastica.
• Becca Rancour had six of the Saints' 14 shots, with Rachel Dixon and Morgan Friday adding three shots each.

QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "While I felt we could have been more patient on the ball, overall we were solid tonight. We got strong performances from all levels within our system. In particular, Ashley was dominant offensively and Emily was outstanding in goal, coming up with a massive save on a PK near the end to keep a clean sheet."
• "This game provided an opportunity for us to further establish our style of play, something we obviously need to do going forward. We will need to be sharp this weekend as UWEC will be a strong test for us on Saturday."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg has its first road game of the season on Saturday (9/8) at 2 p.m., traveling to Wisconsin-Eau Claire.
