(1/21/06) -- Rosinta Stromquist (Sr., Brooklyn Park, Minn./Robbinsdale Cooper HS) had 22 points and Kristina Lurken (So., Kenyon, Minn./Kenyon-Wanamingo HS) set a school record for free-throw efficiency with a 14-for-14 effort, as Augsburg College defeated the St. Olaf College women's basketball team 69-65 in Minnesota Collegiate Athletic Conference action on Saturday at St. Olaf's Skoglund Center. The Auggies (4-11 overall, 2-9 MIAC), who were 20-for-20 from the free throw line in the first half, scored the game's first 12 points and led 41-25 at the half. Augsburg snapped a 10-game losing streak with the victory. St. Olaf went the first 5:52 without a point and the first 9:45 without a field goal.
