SIOUX FALLS, S.D. – The Minnesota State University Moorhead women's basketball team scored a season-high 58 second-half points on its way to an 86-77 win over Augustana in Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference action Saturday in Sioux Falls, S.D. Four players scored in double figures to lead the Dragons to the road win.

Junior guard Meghan Roehrich had 27 points to lead the Dragons, while redshirt freshman Drew Sannes had her second straight double-double with 17 points and 13 rebounds, both career-highs. Sophomore guard Morgan Banasik had 14 points and seven rebounds while freshman forward Cassidy Thorson had a career-high 11 points off the bench. Junior forward Savanna Handevidt added 11 rebounds while sophomore guard Natalie Van Wyhe had a game-high seven assists.

MSUM faced a 53-45 deficit with 8:16 left in the contest but outscored the Vikings 41-24 the rest of the way to rally for the win. A key part of that was a 26-8 run over a span of 5:12 which surged MSUM into a 71-61 lead with 3:01 left. That stretch saw four different Dragons bury three-pointers: Thorson (two), Banasik (two), Roehrich (two) and Sannes (one). Roehrich had 11 points during that run while Thorson had six.

The Vikings never got closer than seven the rest of the way as MSUM iced the game from the line.

The Dragons trailed by as many as seven in the first half but a Roehrich layup brought MSUM within 29-28 with 2:09 left in the half. MSUM trailed 33-28 at halftime, with Roehrich scoring eight points to lead the way.

Augustana pushed the lead to eight on a pair of occasions in the second half before MSUM finished the game on a big run to secure the win.

Sannes added three blocks for MSUM while Handevidt had nine points.

The Dragons return home to face Minnesota Duluth at 6 p.m. on Feb. 13 in Moorhead, Minn.

Steve d'Eustachio Stat of the Game: Tonight's 11th conference victory assures the Dragons of at least .500 in NSIC play for the 15th consecutive year (all under Karla Nelson). The last time the Dragons failed to finish at or above the .500 mark was when they went 7-11 in NSIC play in the 1999-2000 season under Jean Roise.
