This is the first time Augsburg has played in St. Joe since Sept. 20, 2017.
The Storyline
CSB continued its win streak on Wednesday, picking up their second straight MIAC win over with a close victory over Concordia. Chloe Miller scored her first goal of her junior season to bring the Bennies to a 1-0 win over the Cobbers. Goalkeeper Paige Kahlmeyer had two saves in the first half and Annie Waters had four saves in the second half to secure the win. After several scoreless weeks, the Bennies have scored six goals in two games and look to keep that streak going.
