SIOUX FALLS, S.D.--Augustana soccer powered past Sioux Falls on Friday afternoon, defeating the Cougars 6-0. Sylvia Fehr led the charge for the Vikings, scoring four of the six goals and tying the program record for most goals in a game. Josie Arduser assisted on three of Fehr's four goals, setting a new program record for most assists in a game.

AU improves to 4-4-2 overall and 4-2-1 in NSIC action. Sioux Falls drops to 0-7-3 overall and 0-4-3 in NSIC play.

Quotable from head coach Brandon Barkus

"Today was really fun and just a complete team win! I was really excited with our overall performance from their possession and relentless pressure we applied, to the determination and effort and the high level of positive energy from absolutely everyone on the team! 

Further, I could not be more proud of both Sylvia & Josie, who both put up some great numbers today! However, like any TEAM performance, those numbers may not happen if we didn't have so many athletes step up in such a massive way! 

I'm excited to see what this group can continue to achieve moving forward!"
