NORTHFIELD, Minn. - Aili Brom-Palkowski scored for Augsburg with just over four minutes to play to give the Auggies a 1-0 victory in the MIAC opener for both teams.

After a scoreless first half, the game seemed to be headed towards overtime until Brom-Palkowsi's goal at the 85:48 mark.

The Oles (3-1-0) had a slight advantage in shots, outshooting the Auggies (4-0-1) by a 14-12 margin.

Maggie DeGroot had 8 saves for Augsburg.

The loss was the first of the season for St. Olaf.
