Augsburg grabbed the lead near the 60 minute mark when Lacey Hoover scored on a corner kick by Whitney Holman.
The Blue Devils nearly tied the game late in the second period when
Katie Ness (Jr, River Falls) took a
Courtney Tideman (So, Sartell, Minn.) pass, but had her shot blocked by a diving Diana Bocklund.
