They found themselves buried in a hole early and they couldn’t dig themselves out of it, as the Augustana women’s basketball season comes to a close when the Vikings dropped an 81-42 contest to No. 2 Central Missouri Monday night in the Central Region Championship game.
Augustana, who won a share of the NSIC regular season championship as well as the 2018 NSIC Tournament title and a trip to the Sweet 16, ends their season with a 29-4 record. The 29 wins is the most in program history.
The Jennies jumped on the Vikings from the start, sprinting out to a 17-2 lead with 4:56 to play in the first quarter. Augustana trailed 24-7 after one quarter and made just three of their first 14 shots from the field. They trailed 42-17 at halftime.
