Week 7 Recap vs. Augustana University WSU 28, AU 48 | Winona, Minn.
Starting Strong A homecoming crowd of nearly 4,500 saw Winona State strike quickly when Cole Stenstrom hit Cayden Holcomb on a 41-yard pass play after holding Augustana to a threeand-out series following the opening kickoff. The Stenstrom-to-Holcomb strike was just the third play from scrimmage from WSU in the contest.
