QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "That was a game of two halves. The first one was boring and we played with trepidation. They pushed us around and beat us up, and we were not sure what to do. We haven't played a team that has come out with that kind of presence to start with, so it was a new experience for the group that we had to learn how to deal with."
• "The second half was much more entertaining and lively, as we were the aggressors, creating several high-quality scoring chances. Their goalkeeper was outstanding on the night and that kept the game level until they drew a penalty. Even after that, we could have scored a few more, but just failed to get it by him."
• "Remus Repcak was the player to note for me. He was solid on both sides of the ball, and he's so close to getting that final moment right. He inspired the group to push for more, for sure. Ayden Lee made a difference when he was inserted and Jorge Radilla was everything we need Jorge to be -- flexible, competent, influential. He's a fierce competitor and a talented player and has made a difference as the first guy off the bench for us."
