HOW IT HAPPENED
• Trailing 3-1, Augsburg tied the game with a pair of quick goals. Drew Collins (FY, Champlin, Minn./Champlin Park HS) scored his second goal of the game -- his second collegiate goal -- from Nick Zuchowski (SO, Wales, Wis./Kettle Moraine HS) at the 82:52 mark, then Nick Vergara (JR, Aurora, Colo./Eaglecrest HS) tied the game with an unassisted goal at the 83:12 mark. But Saint Mary's sent the Auggies to their second straight overtime loss with a goal 2:26 into overtime.
• Collins notched his first collegiate goal in the 34th minute, giving the Auggies the early lead on assists by Zuchowski and Lionel Vang (SR, Little Canada, Minn./Roseville HS). Vang, who leads the Auggies in all three scoring categories -- four goals, five assists and 13 points -- has at least one point in seven of Augsburg's nine games this season.
• Augsburg claimed a 22-14 shot advantage in the game, including a 15-6 advantage in shots on-goal. Collins and Vang had three shots each.
• Zachary Berg (SO, Lakeville, Minn./Farmington HS) had two saves in goal for the Auggies.

FOR THE FOES
• Eli Szymanski scored the game-winning goal for the Cardinals, assisted by Marco Hernandez.
• Josh Balsiger had a goal and an assist, with Jacob Clements and Armin Jasenac adding the other Saint Mary's goals.
• Jimmy Perreault had 12 saves in goal for Saint Mary's.

QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "When you get scored on as much as we have this year, it's hard to come away with points. We showed incredible spirit and resiliency to come back and tie it after being down 3-1, and I felt like we had the momentum and the game going our way. Then Szymanski hit another banger on us just like he did last year -- the difference was that this one won his team the game."
• "We had some young guys out there today step up and play pretty well. Jorge Radilla did well filling in for Peyton Boich and Johnny Vu, and Alex Ruiz made his debut and was very steady. Drew Collins gave us the lead and then got us back in the game with two goals from dead balls, and Helio De La Torre was a handful today as well."
• "Time for us to buckle up as our next game is against the No. 1 scoring team in the nation with three absolute beasts in attack. Gustavus has been pumping teams all year, so this will be a great chance for us to grow and improve in our defending."
• "As frustrating as these results have been, we are getting better. Each one of these games is teaching us something about ourselves and giving us a new platform to grow and learn from. Soon enough, it will come together in the form of a positive result."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg hosts Gustavus on Tuesday (10/1) at 7:30 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field.
• Saint Mary's travels to face St. Olaf on Tuesday at 4 p.m.
