A first-quarter surge for Augustana University’s women’s basketball team provided the needed cushion for the host Vikings to earn a Saturday matinee victory 89-66 over Dakota Wesleyan at the Elmen Center.
In a game in which the Tigers’ never trailed, Mount Marty was kept to 12-for-51 shooting (23.5%) and DWU forced 15 turnovers from the Lancers’ offense, which DWU used to score 16 points.
“What she did at DWU and in Mitchell is just quite a testament to her as a person,” former SDSU wrestler and Madeleine Sargent's high school coach Travis King said. “Her passion and motivation was shown in that.”
