A LOOK AT THE JOHNNIES: Concordia scored a pair of late goals to defeat Saint John's (4-4-1, 1-2-0 MIAC) 2-1 on a warm (89 degrees) and windy (south at 18 MPH) Tuesday (Sept. 28) in Moorhead.

Junior midfielder Matt D. Anderson (Omaha, Neb./Creighton Prep) gave SJU an early 1-0 lead with his third goal of the season - and sixth of his career - 4:18 into the game. Freshman Evan Siefken (Lakeville, Minn./North) made three saves in the loss.

A LOOK AT THE AUGGIES: Augsburg (9-0, 4-0 MIAC) remained undefeated with a 1-0, double-overtime win at No. 22 Carleton on Tuesday (Sept. 28). Freshman Tomas Piza-Gonzalez scored his first game-winning goal with 2:54 left in the second OT. Carleton posted statistical advantages in shots (19-12, 5-2 in overtime) and corner kicks (11-1, 4-0 in overtime). The win snapped Carleton's 27-game unbeaten streak (21-0-6) on its home field. The Auggies, who have allowed a total of three goals through nine games this fall and shut out their last six opponents, were ranked No. 4 in the latest United Soccer Coaches Region IX poll released prior to Sept. 28's game. Junior forward Kobby Owu set up Piza-Gonzalez's goal and leads the team in goals (7) and points (16). He is followed by sophomore forward Helio De La Torre (5g/2a) and Piza-Gonzalez (3g/4a). Freshman goalkeeper Oscar Herrera has all nine wins and 34 saves in net.
