QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "We certainly created enough chances to win this game, but if we don't have that ruthlessness to take care of those moments and turn them into goals, this can happen. It's a painful lesson. I need to do better in training creating an environment that supports this."
• "One of the difficult things to manage is the number of high-quality players we have. It's also what will keep us fresh throughout the season. As long as we all remain inline with our values, we will come out of this stronger and better prepared for more challenging moments ahead."
• "This is an incredible group -- rich with quality as players and people. I know we will bounce back."
UP NEXT
• Augsburg hosts Carleton in MIAC play on Wednesday (9/28) at 7:30 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field.
