Augsburg moved to 9-8 overall and 7-7 in the MIAC with the win, its best women's basketball record since the 1986-87 campaign, when the Auggies finished 10-15 overall (8-14 MIAC).

Hamline drops to 3-14 overall and 3-11 in the MIAC.

Augsburg used another strong first half to produce the victory. Augsburg led 37-29 at halftime, keying on 48 percent field-goal shooting (15-of-31). Augsburg also went to the free-throw line 35 times in the contest, nailing 23 shots. The Auggies forced 22 Hamline turnovers in the game while committing just 18.

Carrie Schwartz (Jr., Hutchinson, Minn.) was the team's leader at the charity stripe, connecting on 10-of-12 free throws and scoring 16 points. She led the team with eight rebounds. Rowena Sizer (Jr., Rochester, Minn./Mayo HS) had 12 points and Erin Brockberg (Sr., Pipestone, Minn./Pipestone-Jasper HS) notched eight points, six assists, four steals and five rebounds.
