Message: Augsburg men's soccer team to travel to Argentina for 11-day training, competition trip

MINNEAPOLIS (7/24/07) -- The Augsburg College men's soccer team will travel to Buenos Aires, Argentina for an 11-day training and competition trip in early August.

Twenty-seven players, along with five Augsburg staff members and several parents and family members, will travel to Buenos Aires from Aug. 3-14. Team members raised money for the past year to pay for the trip, the first international trip in the Augsburg men's soccer team's history. There will be daily updates, student-athlete diaries and photos from the Argentina trip available on Augsburg's website -- www.augsburg.edu/athletics/.

"This will be an invaluable experience for our guys, not only because they will get a chance to experience some of the best soccer in the world, but because we have 27 current players in our program that will be training together two weeks before our season begins," said Augsburg head coach Greg Holker. "I know it will open their eyes. The environment and the passion cannot be matched in this country in any sporting arena."

The soccer players will train at the CEFAR Academy (Centro Entrenamiento Futbol Alto Rendimiento), a private training facility, and play five games against local club competition. In addition, the Augsburg group will tour the city of Buenos Aires, often termed as the "Paris of South America," attend a professional soccer match, and tour the training facilities of Boca Juniors, one of the top teams in Argentine professional soccer.

"I am excited for the pro matches," Holker said. "We will see River Plate at home, and hope to catch the Boca Juniors home opener as well. We will spend a day watching the Copa Libertadores champions (Boca Juniors) train, and are working on securing a contest with the Boca U18 side. This is a little different than the USL action we have in Minnesota."

The tour is being organized through Harvard Sports Management Group, Inc., an international sports tourism company.

Under Holker, who was named Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Men's Soccer Coach of the Year, Augsburg finished the 2006 season with a 13-3-3 overall record, 5-2-3 in MIAC play, qualifying for the MIAC four-team postseason playoffs for the first time in school history. The Auggies' 13 wins in 2006 were the second-most in a single season in school history, behind only the 15 wins in the team's MIAC championship season of 1975 (15-2-1), and the 13 points in league play were the most for the Auggies since their last MIAC title season in 1980 (11-1-3 overall, 9-0-3 MIAC, 21 points).

Augsburg had the longest unbeaten/unscored-upon string to start a season in all of NCAA Division III men's soccer in 2006, a streak that lasted for the first 10 games of the season (8-0-2). Augsburg's consecutive-game shutout streak was halted at 12 games, a span of 1,111:31 (981:31 this season). The streak is the fourth-longest in NCAA Division III history, behind the 17-game streak of Drew (N.J.) in 2003 and the 13-game streaks of St. John's (Minn., 1982) and Muhlenberg (Pa., 1998).
