Megan Wetzell (So., Wells, Minn./United South Central HS) was also in double figures with a career-high 10. It was the first time either player had scored in double figures in their Auggie careers.
Carleton raced out to 12-2 advantage in the first 3:19, eventually leading, 23-4 midway through the half.
