Host Auggies place fourth in tournament
The Augsburg College volleyball team started the year off in
impressive fashion last week, winning three of its five matches
and turning in a fourth-place finish in the Augsburg Invitational.
Augsburg also whipped Northwestern-Roseville in three games
(15-2, 15-11, 15-10) in the season opener. Captain Lisa Nos,
Missy Carlson, and Angie Rieger led the Auggie attack
with seven kills apiece.
The Auggies continued their winning ways into the Augsburg
Invite, defeating UW-Stout in a tight five game match (15-9,
11-15, 4-15, 15-11, 15-11). Tasha Hamann gathered 40
assists for the Auggies, while Nos and Jessica Ness put
down 11 kills each. Next up for the Auggies was a tough UW-Eau
Claire squad. The Auggies win streak stopped at two as they
lost three straight games to Eau Claire (15-8, 15-4, 15-5).
Augsburg rebounded in their next match, making short work
of MIAC rival Carleton. The Auggies defeated the Carls in three
games (15-10, 15-5, 15-11). Augsburg faced another MIAC rival
in the third place game in St. Ben's. The Auggies started out
well, taking the first game (15-10), but weren't able to hold
on and lost the next three games (15-11, 15-7, 15-7) for a fourth
place finish. Hamann was named to the all tournament team.
Next the Auggies travel to the east coast before the MIAC season
opener against Hamline at home on Sept. 23.

the Auggies were ready. On just the second play from scrimmage
for Augsburg, quarterback Paul Tetzloff hooked up with
All-American Scott Hvistendahl on a 63-yard touchdown
pass. It was the first of four touchdown passes for the duo
as Augsburg cruised 45-13 against Mayville State (N.D.).
When the smoke had cleared, Hvistendahl had set new Augsburg
records for most yards in a game (281), most touchdown receptions
in a career (29) and tied the record for most touchdowns in a
game (4). Hvistendahl was named MIAC Offensive Player of the
Week for his efforts.
Todd Hamer led the Augsburg defense, which produced
nine turnovers -- six interceptions and three fumble recoveries.
Hamer had two interceptions and four tackles. Jake Kern
