MINNEAPOLIS -- Jeffrey Richter (JR, Portland, Ore./La Salle Catholic College Prep HS) scored the game-tying goal in the 79th minute, as the Augsburg University men's soccer team claimed a 1-1 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference draw with Concordia College-Moorhead on Saturday evening.

THE BASICS
FINAL SCORE: Augsburg 1, Concordia-Moorhead 1
LOCATION: Edor Nelson Field, Minneapolis
RECORDS: Augsburg 8-2-4 overall (2-0-3 MIAC), Concordia 1-9-2 overall (0-4-2 MIAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Augsburg dominated in virtually every aspect of the game, except the score. The Auggies outshot Concordia by a 30-3 margin, including a 7-1 advantage in shots on-goal. Augsburg had 21 corner kicks, compared to none for the Cobbers. Augsburg held a 68-to-32-percent advantage in possession time, with 46 percent of its possession time in its attacking third, compared to just nine percent for Concordia.
• The Auggies tied the game with 11:19 left in regulation time. Owen Salzwedel (SO, St. Anthony Village, Minn./St. Anthony Village HS) floated a ball from 30 yards out into the 18-yard box, and Tomas Menna (SR, Coon Rapids, Minn./Coon Rapids HS) flicked the ball forward with his head into the six-yard box, and a sprinting Richter slammed the ball home for his third goal of the season.
• Mizael Harris (JR, Happy Valley, Ore./La Salle Catholic College Prep HS) had six shots in the game, while Richter had five shots and Menna had four shots.

FOR THE FOES
• Edwin Rasidovic headed home a free kick from 30 yards out by Dylan Sipe to give Concordia a 1-0 lead in the 50th minute.
• Jensen Waltz had six saves in goal for the Cobbers.

QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG HEAD COACH GREG HOLKER
• "Sometimes the sport is cruel. It humbles you. It challenges probability. It makes you reflect and seek answers that may not arrive. And it's awesome."
• "Full credit to Concordia for their defensive commitment and effort tonight. They were determined to protect their goal and with 10 players stuffed in the box, they did it to perfection. We created more than enough chances throughout the night, but none were very clean. We had to work for everything and honestly, I don't feel bad about the effort or the performance. We are so close to being really good -- so close. We just need to go again and keep growing from these difficult games."
• "Thankfully Jeffrey climbed up the field and got us the equalizer on a great little flick from Menna. Owen's early ball in gave us a chance and with 11 minutes to go, I thought we were going to get another one. Jeffrey got tripped up on their set piece, and that's what freed the player to score -- so even better he showed how resilient he is to get the equalizer. I was really proud of the guys for never stopping the pressure, even with the draw."
