COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. -- The No. 3-ranked Augsburg University men's soccer team saw its 10-game winning streak snapped on Wednesday, as Saint John's University claimed a 5-2 Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference victory at Haws Field.

THE BASICS
FINAL SCORE: Saint John's 5, Augsburg 2
LOCATION: Haws Field, Collegeville, Minn.
RECORDS: Augsburg 10-1-0 overall (2-1-0 MIAC), Saint John's 6-2-2 overall (2-2-0 MIAC)

HOW IT HAPPENED
• Augsburg outshot Saint John's by a 23-12 margin and held a 58-to-42-percent advantage in possession, but Johnnie goalkeeper Cole Hanson claimed eight saves to score the victory. 
• The Auggies took a lead just 2:54 into the contest, as Ceazar Daniell (SR, Portland, Ore./Cleveland HS) scored his first goal of the season on a remarkable solo play. He drove up the left wing, fought through a slide tackle attempt by a Johnnie defender, worked his way into the 18-yard box and put a left-footed crossing shot to the right corner of the net for his first goal of the season.
• Saint John's took the lead with goals in the sixth, 13th and 33rd minute, but Augsburg cut into the advantage in the 35th minute, as Jeffrey Richter (SR, Portland, Ore./La Salle Catholic Collegiate Prep HS) scored his second goal of the season on a penalty kick, after an Auggie was taken down in the 18-yard box on an Augsburg break.
• The Johnnies clinched the home victory with a pair of goals in a 2:10 span in the opening 15 minutes of the second half.
• Daniel and Richter had four shots each for the Auggies, with Diego Veit (SR, Vina Del Mar, Chile/Centro Educacional de Adultos Rafael Sotomayor) recording three shots.

BEYOND THE BOXSCORE
• Augsburg's 10-0-0 start to this season tied the second-longest winning streak in the 58-season history of the men's soccer program, and the fourth-longest unbeaten streak in program history. Augsburg went 11-0-0 to start its 1973 MIAC championship season (12-2-0 overall, 11-1-0 MIAC), and went 10-0-0 to start its 1975 MIAC title campaign (15-2-1 overall, 12-1-1 MIAC).

QUOTES FROM AUGSBURG COACH GREG HOLKER
• Well, that was tough to sit through. Our soccer wasn't that bad, really. They scored goals that devastated the rhythm and came at times we felt we were on the front foot. We were negative-three on set pieces, and that isn't something we've suffered through yet this season."
• "Hats off to Saint John's for executing on the day, and we will bounce back this weekend. A loss had to come at some point. How we respond is what I'm excited to see."

FOR THE FOES
• Foster Conlin, Ronan O'Connor and Eli Ryan had a goal and assist each for the Johnnies.
• Gabe Franzman and Lisle Cherwien also scored goals for Saint John's.

UP NEXT
• Augsburg returns to MIAC play on Saturday (10/4) at 1 p.m. with a game at Macalester College in St. Paul, Minn.
