On Friday against the Marauders, Cody Schilling scored a game-high 19 points to lead the Vikings to the win. Schilling's play was complimented by 12 points from Cameron McCaffrey and 10 from Leif Nomeland. Derrick De Zeeuw and Nathan Truex each added eight points. On Sunday against the Wolves, McCaffrey netted a season-high 27 points--including 22 in the second half-- to guide Augustana past NSU. McCaffrey finished 7 of 19 from the floor and also handed out four assists. The Vikings also got 17 points from true freshman Trevor Hass and 16 from Cody Schilling. Hass connected on five 3- pointers. Derrick De Zeeuw was just a bucket and rebound short of a double-double, recording eight points and nine rebounds.
