PAUL, Minn. -- Serenae Levine (JR, Eden Prairie, Minn./Eden Prairie HS) led Augsburg College with 15 points and 15 rebounds, but Augsburg was not able to overcome a tough University of St. Thomas team as the Auggies fell 87-48 in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference women's basketball action on Monday night at UST's Anderson Athletic Center.
