The Upper Iowa University women's basketball team dropped game two of their double-header against Augustana University on the road. The Augies were powered by some hot shooting as they made 35 of 68 shots from the floor (51.5%) and went 13-27 (48.1%) from behind the 3PT line, scoring 21 or more in each of the four quarters to finish with a 92-42 victory. The Vikings boosted their record to 6-3 (5-2 NSIC) while the Peacocks fell to 1-9 (0-8 NSIC) on the season.
 

While the UIU offense struggled, the Vikings saw six players score in double-digits after having five double-figure scorers in game one of the double-header. Those six players combined to shoot 31-62 (50%) from the field and 13-26 (50%) from three. Those six Vikings also grabbed 39 of the 50 total Augie rebounds, which surpassed the Peacock total of 33, and out-assisted UIU 21-7 for the game.
