QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "We made a few adjustments in preparation for the game, and the players did really well to execute. Carleton is both a strong team and it's a difficult place to play. This is definitely a performance we can build upon. We face another difficult test on the road this Saturday against Saint Benedict. They are a very athletic and dangerous team who will present challenges for us defensively."
