QUOTE FROM HEAD COACH MIKE NAVARRE
• "Disappointing. Overall, we defended well, constructed a great goal, and created some excellent scoring chances. Unfortunately we were not sharp in all phases of the game for the full 90 minutes and it cost us. While we are making it difficult for ourselves, we still have everything right in front of us. However, we are going to have to be much sharper as we take on a very strong St Catherine team next weekend. We embrace the challenge."
UP NEXT
• Augsburg travels to face St. Catherine University in a MIAC contest next Saturday (10/22) at 1 p.m.
