The Augsburg men's soccer team has some friends in high places in the soccer world.Fox Soccer Channel's Jeremy St. Louis gave a shout-out to the Auggies in his FSC blog in November, just before the Auggies traveled to face Loras (Iowa) in the second round of the NCAA Division III national playoffs:
"The NCAA College Soccer season is winding down – and while everyone is focused on what’s going on in Division I, I want to send out some kudos to a good friend of mine in Division III. Greg Holker is the coach of the Augsburg College Auggies and for the first time in the school’s history, Holker has taken the team into the NCAA tournament! Sure, it’s not a unique story but having come to know Greg, I know it wasn’t easy. He took a program with a horrid track record and has turned them into a winner. He’s one of the most dedicated coaches I know and no matter how the season ends for the Auggies, they have every reason to be proud of themselves. They play Loras College in Dubuque, IA this weekend – should be a good game!"
This is the same Jeremy St. Louis that gave Augsburg kudos on the air last year, when coach Greg Holker sent Jeremy an Augsburg soccer scarf.
