QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "This was a tough game from the onset, and we showed some cracks in our ability to handle difficult moments. This was exactly what we needed at this point in the season, so many thanks to Central for how they competed so hard and made it difficult for us. We have to learn from this and move forward right away. This tie definitely felt like a loss for us."
• "I thought Mitchell Munzing was tremendous tonight. He was in the right pockets at all the right times, and his defensive pressure was really good. He is so sharp and quick and I am excited to see the next phase of his game grow as he gets closer to the goal.
• "Ceazar Daniell changed the game for us when he entered with his attacking prowess. His first touch is so clean, and it set him up to run at the opposition and force them to make decisions they weren't comfortable with. He was a bright spot tonight."
• "Camel Htoo created some dangerous chances and missed wide twice in the closing minutes of the game. He also drew the penalty in the first half that Kebba put away. He is growing with each day here and is a real talent."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg hosts Minnesota Morris in a nonconference game on Monday (9/5) at 3 p.m. at Edor Nelson Field.
