MINNEAPOLIS — Four Augsburg players scored goals, including three straight early in the game, and the Auggies snapped Concordia's winning streak with a 4-3 win Friday in the first game of a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference series.
The Cobbers had won their last four games entering the game and took the lead when Kevin Ness scored at 7:25 of the first period on assists from Joe Harguindeguy and Isaac Henkemeyer-Howe.
But Augsburg's Jarod Blackowiak tied it 37 seconds later and Fritz Belisle made it 2-1 Auggies with a goal at 12:51 of the first. Erik Palmqvist put Augsburg up 3-1 at 4:31 of the second period.
Ness scored his second of the game at 7:19 of the second on an assist from Caden Triggs but Augsburg's Gavin Holland restored the two-goal lead at 12:45 of the second. The Cobbers' Hanson O'Leary scored at 13:15 of the second on an assist from Liam Haslam but it proved to be the last goal of the game.
The Cobbers are 6-5 in the MIAC and 9-10-1 overall. The teams play again at 2 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 4.
