BOXSCORE MINNEAPOLIS -- Quarterback Ayrton Scott (SO, Minneapolis, Minn./Southwest HS) rushed for 161 yards and threw for 214 yards and four touchdowns, as his Augsburg College football team scored a 55-20 win over Hamline University in a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference contest on Saturday afternoon at Edor Nelson Field.

Augsburg is now 3-0 overall, 2-0 in MIAC play, while the Pipers drop to 1-2 overall, 0-2 in MIAC play. It's Augsburg's fifth straight victory dating to last season, its longest winning streak since a five-game span from the last game of the 2007 season to the first four games of the 2008 campaign.
