Way to go, men's soccer!

How 'bout the Auggie men's soccer team's win at Carleton on Saturday! Consider how big the Auggies' 1-0 victory at Carleton was ... Carleton was ranked No. 8 in the NSCAA Division III national rankings, the Knights had a 28-game regular-season unbeaten streak (24-0-4) and a 21-game conference regular-season unbeaten streak (18-0-3) since 2006. Carleton had a 15-game home unbeaten streak in conference play, and had not lost to an MIAC foe at home since 2005.

Two headers and the ball reaches Scheller at the top of the box, he smacks it out of the air at waist level and it rises past the Carleton goalkeeper and into the net. It's one of the best Augsburg soccer goals I've ever seen. Incredible!

Augsburg's in the thick of a very interesting race in the MIAC, currently standing in third place with 10 league points (5-2-0 MIAC, 7-2-3 overall) and three conference games remaining. There are six teams with eight league points or more going into the final three weeks of the conference season, all vying for a berth in the four-team conference playoffs.

The Auggies have a challenging week ahead, with three games in a five-day span, starting on Tuesday at 4 p.m. with a nonconference game at St. Scholastica in Duluth. The 11-3 Saints lead the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference and have won their last eight straight games, including a 3-0 win over Macalester back on Oct. 1.
