WAUKESHA, Wis. – It took a while for Augustana to get rolling but a dominating second half helped the Vikings roll to an impressive 72-51 College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin win at Carroll on Saturday, February 11 at VanMale Fieldhouse in Waukesha, Wisconsin. The win allowed head coach Mark Beinborn's team to stay in the hunt for one of the coveted four CCIW Tournament spots.
 
After falling at Wheaton on Wednesday night, the win against Carroll pushed Augustana's record to 16-7 overall and 9-5 in the CCIW.

The game was close early as Augustana led just 15-13 after one quarter but stretched the margin to 29-21 at halftime. It was the third quarter when Beinborn's team really exerted itself and went on a 21-9 run to break out to a 50-30 lead with just one period left to play.
 
Senior Kaycee Kallenberger (Pleasant Valley HS, Bettendorf, Iowa) was the lone Augustana player in double figures in scoring as she had 14 points on seven of 11 from the field. She also hauled in eight rebounds and had three blocked shots.
