Camel Htoo (FY, St. Paul, Minn./Washington HS) scored his sixth goal of the season in the 64th minute for the Augsburg University men's soccer team, but host Concordia College-Moorhead took the lead with a goal 10 minutes later in a 2-1 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference decision on Saturday afternoon.

HOW IT HAPPENED

QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "We got outplayed today. I don't know what the stats say, but when we give up goals in the first few minutes of the game it's really hard to get full points. We started slow and gained some momentum at the end of the first half. Camel had a great chance on a header that he pushed wide. He got a second chance on the penalty early in the second half and took it very well. We started to feel better, but never really gained full control."
• "Then we gave up a goal in transition and you could sense the trouble. We were on top of Concordia's box over and over again, but couldn't get through. When we did, their goalkeeper made some terrific saves or we made a mess of our chances. Either way, the rhythm wasn't good for us."
• "We have two nonconference games this week to regain our form and confidence before we host St. Olaf and Bethel in the final week of play. We will get back to work and lift each other up."
UP NEXT
• Augsburg travels across downtown Minneapolis to take on North Central University in nonconference play on Tuesday (10/18) at 3:30 p.m.
