HOW IT HAPPENED
• The Auggies held a 12-11 edge following the first quarter, but the Scots grabbed the lead early in the second quarter and used a 23-10 scoring advantage to take a 34-22 lead at halftime.
• After Augsburg managed to outscore the Scots 14-9 in the third quarter, Macalester held a 43-36 lead at the final quarter break. The Auggies continued to chip away at the deficit throughout the second half, eventually making it a one-point game at 49-48 with 6:01 to play. The Scots regained control from that point, pushing their lead back to as many as nine points on the way to the win.

Her six made three-point baskets were the most in her career, and just one shy of the Augsburg school record. Myers finishes her career with 213 steals, the third-most in program history.
