MINNEAPOLIS – Defender Sam Donahugh (SR, Mukwonago, Wis./Mukwonago HS) scored the first goal of her collegiate career on a penalty kick in the 86th minute, but it was not enough for her Augsburg University women's soccer team, as the Auggies dropped a 3-1 nonconference decision to the University of Wisconsin-Eau Claire on Wednesday evening.
