Nehls scored his third goal of the year.<\/p>\n<p>Augsburg was outshot, 33-30, but it mattered little as Nick Schmit came through with 32 saves to notch his 18th win of the year.<\/p>\n<p>A familiar foe awaits the Auggies in the quarterfinal round. The Auggies will travel next weekend to take on top-ranked St. Norbert.<\/p>\n<p>The two teams are meeting in the NCAA tournament for the third consecutive season. They met twice in the regular season. St. Norbert, which had an opening-round bye, prevailed both times, winning 3-1 and 4-0.<\/p>\n<p>Last season&#8217;s showdown was one to remember. The Green Knights and Auggies went to overtime, and St. Norbert prevailed 4-3. The Auggies lost, 6-1, to St. Norbert in the 2016 tournament.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Augsburg is moving on in the NCAA tournament and is on the brink of its first Frozen Four trip in 20 years after a 3-1 win over Marian Saturday night.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":85,"featured_media":140328,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[1425],"tags":[1469,1470],"coauthors":[821],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.9 -
