North Central will be Augustana's first-round opponent. The tournament will conclude on Saturday, March 20, also at Castle Lanes.
 
Junior Abigail Clark (Wilmot HS, Twin Lakes, Wis.) rolled a season-best 208 to lead the Vikings to a 780-668 traditional win over the host Cardinals. Senior Taylor Kies (Oswego HS, Oswego, Ill.) chipped in with a 187. Augustana then extended its winning streak to 17 matches with an 827-637 Baker victory over North Central.
 
The Vikings saw their streak snapped with a 753-686 setback to Elmhurst in traditional play. Kies led the way with a 195, but no other Augustana bowler bettered 129 in the match. Tegtmeier's bunch bounced back to take the Baker match by a score of 730-724.
