MOORHEAD, MINN. -- On a cloudy and cold afternoon in Moorhead, MN the Augustana Vikings (9-3-2, 8-2-1 NSIC) dominated the Dragons of MSU Moorhead (3-10-0, 3-8-0 NSIC) with two goals in the first half by senior Rebekah Thoresen. Claudia Pueschner earned her 8th shutout of the season, making 4 saves to keep the Dragons off the board. 

"I felt like our overall effort and attitude to stick to our game plan this weekend was good," stated Barkus.  "We made a few adjustments to our system and the team really bought in to it." 
The Vikings offense got started in the 17th minute when Lauren Brownrigg took a shot right outside the box that was mishandled by Dragons goalkeeper Kayleigh Sedlacek and Rebekah Thoresen crashed the goal to tap it in and make it 1-0. 

Augustana kept it rolling in the 30th minute when Thoresen finished a cross by sophomore Skylar Moen, making it 2-0. That marked Moen's second assist on the year and Thoresen's third goal. 

The Vikings outshot the Dragons 33-13 and earned ten corner kicks to the Dragon's three. 

Augustana returns to Morstad Field this Friday, October 19th at 4 p.m. to kick off homecoming weekend against the University of Minnesota Crookston Golden Eagles (1-11-2, 1-8-2 NSIC). Fans can follow the game at GoAugie.com/live.
