Saturday's victory was Augsburg's first over a nationally ranked team since a 34-22 win in the NCAA Division III national playoffs over Concordia-Moorhead (No. 21) at the Fargodome on Nov. 21, 1997. Augsburg was ranked No. 14 nationally at the time. Augsburg had lost its last 16 games to nationally-ranked teams before Saturday's win.
