• Tomas Menna (JR, Coon Rapids, Minn./Coon Rapids HS), Helio De La Torre (SR, Oakdale, Minn./Mahtomedi HS) and Kevin Iragaba (JR, St. Paul, Minn./Como Park HS) also scored goals, and Christian Riera (SO, Fridley, Minn./Columbia Heights HS), Peter Munkittrick (Sr, Westfield, N.J./St. Peter's Prep HS) and Owen Salzwedel (SO, St. Anthony Village, Minn./St. Anthony Village HS) also had assists.

• Janneh now leads the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in goals (10) and total points (25), while tied for second in assists (5). He entered Thursday's play ranked 11th in the country among NCAA Division III players in goals per-game (1.14) and sixth in points per-game (2.86).

QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "We got out of this without any injuries, and we were able to rest six of our regular starters and get some of our younger players some more opportunities. Kevin Iragaba and Eric Riera each scored their first collegiate goals, Samson Gyasi played his first collegiate minutes, going the full 90. Andrew Ziebarth did the same in goal, securing a clean sheet -- and he had to make one legit save, which will be good for his confidence moving forward."
• "Now it's all MIAC soccer ahead of us. It's been a decade since we've taken points from Saint John's at their place, so this will be a heck of a challenge for us."

UP NEXT
• Augsburg returns to MIAC play with a game on Tuesday (9/26) at 4 p.m. at Saint John's University.
