Charging up the right side, sophomore defender
McKaid Schotzko (Rochester, Minn./Lourdes) centered the ball from 30 yards out and found Hermanson at the top of the box. Hermanson stuck out his right leg to stop the ball in the air, spun to his left and chipped the ball with his left foot to the back of the net for the game-tying tally and fourth collegiate goal.
Tomas Menna gave Augsburg (8-2-2, 2-0-1 MIAC), which was listed seventh in the latest United Soccer Coaches Region IX rankings released yesterday (Oct. 1), a 2-1 lead in the 55th minute. Mizael Harris opened the game's scoring for the home team in the 27th minute.
Junior forward
Alex Bowman (Elk River, Minn./Rogers) tied the game at 1-1 for SJU (3-4-1, 1-2-1 MIAC) with his third goal of the season on a direct header off a corner kick from freshman defender
