QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG COACH GREG HOLKER
• "I've been a part of this league for a long time, and I am struggling to remember a team we've played against that was as good as Gustavus was today. They got it all right from start to finish. It's one of those days where you just tip your hat and say congrats. They've set a new standard for us to try and achieve."
• "We were not poor on the day, we just struggled to get anything going because of how they smothered us and pushed us into uncomfortable positions." 
• "In the first half, they went over the top of us into deeper positions and then whipped in dangerous balls to guys running in from deeper positions. They were all over us, and forced us to change our shape at halftime to cut that out. Oscar did really well to keep it close, and it took a corner kick in the early part of the second half to finally unlock us where we just don't have the physical capacity to deal with 6-foot-5 opponents." 
• "We just need to move on quickly and get back to work. Concordia comes here Saturday and we have to show a positive response in that game, whatever the result."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg hosts Concordia-Moorhead on Saturday (10/16) at 5 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field.
• Gustavus plays at St. Olaf on Saturday at 12:30 p.m.
