QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "I was hoping for a little more urgency from our group to begin the game. However, we got stronger and more committed as the game progressed, which was encouraging, and our technical and tactical acuity sharpened as well. Also give credit to Northwestern, they played very hard and were difficult to break down."
• UW-La Crosse will be a big test on Tuesday. We look forward to the opportunity to host one of the best teams in the region."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg hosts Wisconsin-La Crosse on Tuesday (9/21) at 7:30 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field.
