DUBUQUE, Iowa – A sluggish first quarter might have been some cause for concern but Augustana roared back over the next three stanzas to record an impressive 100-80 non-conference victory over the University of Dubuque on Tuesday, November 22 at the Stoltz Sports Center in Dubuque, Iowa. The Vikings overcame a nine point deficit in the first quarter to give head coach Mark Beinborn his second straight victory over his alma mater.

With 8:37 left in the second quarter the Spartans led by eight (30-22) but back-to-back field goals by sophomore Carly McCameron (Antioch HS, Antioch, Ill.) cut the lead to 30-26 and sparked 20-7 run that eventually saw Augustana take a 42-37 lead into the locker room at halftime.
 
The Vikings continued to pour it on in the second half, outscoring the hosts 27-19 in the third and 31-24 in the fourth.
