If you spent your Thursday afternoon watching or listening to the first round of the NSIC Sanford-Health Postseason Tournament then it was time well spent as the Augustana Women's Basketball Team came away with a first-round win over MSU Moorhead.

Leading by one point at the half, the top seed NSIC South Division Lady Vikings fell behind in the third frame. But what a show in the fourth period as Augie exploded with a 26-7 run led by Junior Vishe’ Rabb who would total 20 points on the day for the 77-63 quarter-final win.

More double-digit scoring from Augustana came from Lauren Sees and Aislinn Duffy with 14 each.
