ALBION, Mich. – Albion jumped in front 9-1 Saturday and went on to post a 19-7 win over Augustana at the Davis Athletic Complex. Coach C.J. Durham's squad dropped to 5-2 on the season, while the host Britons improved to 3-2 on the year.
 
Cait Gaitley scored twice in the first 6:04 of the game as Albion took a 4-0 lead.
