The 2013-14 Augustana men's basketball season opened with an exhibition game at the University of Iowa and concluded with the program's 13th NCAA Division III tournament appearance. Along the way, Coach Grey Giovanine's team posted a 20-8 overall record and a 9-5 mark in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin. A sophomore-dominated Viking team tied for third in the league and qualified for the conference tournament for the ninth consecutive season. Augustana defeated 18th-ranked St. Thomas in its NCAA tournament opener before falling to eventual national champion Wisconsin-Whitewater on the Warhawks' home court in the second round. The Vikings battled an Iowa club that went on to reach the 20-win plateau and the NCAA tournament, eventually falling 87-65. Junior guard Danielius Jurgutis (Downers Grove South HS, Darien, Ill.) had a team-high 15 points and sophomore forward Ben Ryan (Washington HS, Washington, Ill.) posted game highs of 13 rebounds and four steals. The regular season opened with an impressive 76-56 win over the University of Chicago at Carver Center. Ryan (15 points and 11 rebounds) and senior center Kevin Schlitter (Maine South HS, Park Ridge, Ill.) (17 & 11) each posted a double-double. After suffering a 67-57 loss at Wisconsin-Platteville on November 11, the Viking returned to Platteville the next weekend and won both of their games at the Pioneer Classic. Jurgutis was named the tournament MVP in leading the Vikings to wins over St. Olaf (68-59) and Simpson (87-54). St. Olaf would go on to win 22 games, claim the MIAC tournament championship and reach the NCAA tournament. Ryan was also an all-tournament selection. After overwhelming Knox on the road, Augustana traveled to Loras to take on a Duhawk club with recent wins over pre-season top five teams Illinois Wesleyan and Wheaton. Sophomore point guard Hunter Hill (Byron HS, Byron, Ill.) emerged as dynamic scoring threat, putting up 23 points to lead the Vikings to a 67-65 win. Augustana won five more in a row to extend its winning streak to nine games heading into CCIW play. Included in that stretch of non-conference wins was a 79-57 dismantling of eventual IIAC champion and NCAA tournament participant Central. The Vikings improved to 12-1 overall with two wins to open league play. They defeated Carthage 82-74 at home before knocking off third-ranked Illinois Wesleyan 81-73, also at Carver Center. Hill led the way in the win over the Titans, scoring a career-high 29 points, including 18 in a span of just 2:45 in the first half. The team bounced back from a 66-63 overtime loss at Wheaton with three more wins to improve 15-2 overall and 5-1 in the conference. However, a four-game losing streak followed, knocking Augustana out of CCIW title contention. The Vikings snapped the skid with a 65-58 win at Carthage and won at Millikin 76-59 before avenging an earlier loss to Elmhurst. The Vikings hammered the Bluejays 80-52 at home behind a career-high 19 points from sophomore forward Tayvian Johnson (United Township HS, East Moline, Ill.). Giovanine's club closed the regular season with a 91-61 win at North Park. The only program to qualify for the CCIW tournament every year since its inception in 2006, Augustana suffered a semifinal loss to Wheaton, 66-55 in Bloomington, Illinois. With a 19-7 record, the Vikings earned an NCAA tournament bid and were sent to Whitewater, Wisconsin, where 2011 national champion and 18th-ranked St. Thomas was their first round opponent. They used a near school-record shooting performance (.686 from the field) and a 33-20 advantage on the glass to win 88-77, avenging a loss to the Tommies three years earlier in the NCAA quarterfinals. The host Warhawks, who would go on to win the national title, ended Augustana's season 87-68 the next night. It was the ninth time in 13 Division III tournament appearances that the Vikings have been eliminated by the eventual champion. Hill averaged 17.0 points in the two NCAA tournament games on 12-of-19 (.632) field goal and 5-of-8 (.625) three-point shooting. Jurgutis, just getting back into a rhythm after a foot injury cost him six games late in the season, came off the bench to average 14.5 points on .647 shooting from the field. Ryan, who had game highs of 17 points and eight rebounds against St. Thomas, averaged 12.5 points and 6.5 rebounds and shot .588 from the field for the weekend. On the season, Hill averaged 13.1 points per game to lead Augustana in scoring. The second team All-CCIW performer and team MVP also had a team-high 54 assists and became just the third player in school history—and the first since 1988-89—to officially lead the team in field goal (.516), three-point and free throw percentage. His .480 from beyond the arc this year is the fifth-best single season mark in school history and his .862 percentage from the foul line ranks ninth all-time at Augustana. In addition, Hill is currently the school's career leader in free throw percentage at .860, while ranking fourth in three-point percentage at .449. Johnson, who was named to the All-CCIW third team, was the Vikings' second leading scorer at 9.9 points per game and led in blocked shots (18) and steals (37). Ryan led the team in rebounding at 6.5 per game and finished third in scoring at 9.1 points per contest. Jurgutis battled through the late-season injury to average 8.9 points. Schlitter averaged 7.4 points and 5.1 rebounds and shot .507 from the floor. Junior post Nic Hoepfner (United Township HS, East Moline, Ill.) averaged 7.0 points and 4.0 rebounds with a .542 field goal percentage. Junior guard Mark Roth (Washington HS, Metamora, Ill.) averaged 6.0 points on shooting percentages of .426 from long range and .947 from the free throw line. Sophomore Jawan Straughter (Plainfield East, Bolingbrook, Ill.) played both guard spots, starting the last seven games of the year, and was selected as the team's Outstanding Defender. He was also one of the Vikings' most efficient shooters. He averaged 4.8 points on percentages of .531 from the floor, .545 from three-point range and .778 from the line. Sophomore post Brandon Motzel (Carmel HS, Buffalo Grove, Ill.) started the final seven games at center. He was the team's top rebounder on a per-minute basis, averaging 4.2 per game to go along with 3.8 points and a .536 field goal percentage. Sophomore Griffin Pils (Libertyville HS, Libertyville, Ill.) averaged 3.7 points a game and had the best assist-to-turnover ratio (38: 22) on the club.

In what looked like a rebuilding year for Coach Grey Giovanine’s Augustana men’s basketball program, the 2012-13 version of the Vikings put together a 19-8 season, finishing fourth in the CCIW and qualifying for the conference tournament for the eighth consecutive season. Augustana knocked off then third-ranked Illinois Wesleyan 53-47 at Shirk Center in the CCIW semifinals before falling to then fifth-rated North Central 70-63 in the final. It was the fourth time in eight years that the Vikings reached the championship game and the first time they didn’t prevail. With just three upperclassmen on this year’s roster, the team leaned heavily on its freshman and sophomore classes. Senior Brandon Kunz (Lake Zurich HS, Lake Zurich, Ill.) survived the season to earn team MVP, but the Vikings’ other two veterans, senior George Dexter (Bettendorf HS, Bettendorf, Iowa) and junior Kevin Schlitter (Maine South HS, Park Ridge, Ill.), missed significant portions of the season with injuries. Giovanine’s young club opened the season with road dates at Aurora, St. Norbert and Chicago. The first two would go on to win their respective conferences and earn NCAA tournament berths. Behind 29 points from sophomore point guard Danielius Jurgutis (Downers Grove South HS, Darien, Ill.), Augustana survived a late three-point barrage to defeat Aurora 85-82. Freshman Ben Ryan (Washington HS, Washington, Ill.) had 18 points and 11 boards in a convincing 74-60 win at St. Norbert and the Vikings finished their season-opening road swing with a 70-52 win at Chicago. Schlitter came off the bench to score 16 points in 21 minutes. UW-Platteville fell 69-57 in Augustana’s home opener and the Vikings won their next two at home, including a 77-69 win over local rival St. Ambrose, to improve to 6-0. Seventh-ranked Wisconsin-Stevens Point overcame a three-point halftime deficit to hand Augustana its first loss of the season, 67-59, in Stevens Point, Wisconsin. The Vikings closed out the non-conference portion of their schedule with four straight wins to improve to 10-1 and climb to 19th in the national poll, but suffered a huge blow when Schlitter was lost for the year to a knee injury. On the bright side, the team got the services of Dexter back for the CCIW run. Two wins to open the conference slate bumped the Vikings to 12-1 and number 17 in the top 25, but they lost three straight to the teams that would finish 1-2-3 in the final standings – Illinois Wesleyan, North Central and Wheaton. Throughout the league regular season, Augustana handled the other four teams in the conference, but couldn’t pick up a win over those three at the top, finishing 8-6 and in fourth place. The only school in the league to play in all eight CCIW tournaments, Augustana picked up a signature win in the league semifinals. Facing third-ranked Illinois Wesleyan on its home floor, the young Vikings ground out a 53-47 win, holding the Titans to 25 percent shooting from the field. The next night, Augustana lost for the first time in four tournament championship appearances, 70-63 to fifth-ranked North Central. All eight of the Vikings’ losses this season came to teams ranked 22nd or higher in the final regular season poll, including three to third-ranked North Central and two to 10th-ranked Illinois Wesleyan. They played 11 of their 26 games against NCAA tournament teams and nine against teams in the Top 25. They played five games against 2012-13 conference champions, winning three. Kunz (11.0 ppg, 7.0 rpg, .559 fg%, .781 ft%) and Ryan (11.7 ppg, 6.8 rpg, .516 fg%) were selected to the All-CCIW second team. In addition Ryan, who became just the third freshman ever to lead the Vikings in scoring, was honored with the conference’s first-ever Freshman of the Year award as well as D3hoops.com Midwest Region and national Rookie of the Year. Kunz wrapped up a fine career, ranking seventh in school history in games played (105), eighth in field goal percentage (.562), 19th in rebounding (493) and tied for 12th in blocked shots (41). In addition to MVP, he was selected as Augustana’s best defender and rebounder. Sophomore guard Mark Roth (Washington HS, Metamora, Ill.), who led the team with 36 three-pointers, joined Kunz, Dexter, Schlitter and Jurgutis as the only five players with more than 15 career varsity minutes entering this season. As a result, Giovanine relied on sophomores Brandon Thompson (Galesburg HS, Galesburg, Ill.) and Nic Hoepfner (United Township HS, East Moline, Ill.) and five freshmen, each of whom averaged over 10 minutes per game this year. Thompson averaged 7.4 points and led the team in free throw percentage (.803), assists (48) and steals (36). Hoepfner, in his first year at Augustana after transferring from Parkland College, averaged 6.0 points and 3.4 rebounds per game, shooting .687 from the floor and a CCIW-best .689 in league play. While Ryan had the biggest impact among the freshmen, Tayvian Johnson (United Township HS, East Moline, Ill.), Griffin Pils (Libertyville HS, Libertyville, Ill.), Hunter Hill (Byron HS, Byron, Ill.) and Jawan Straughter (Plainfield East HS, Bolingbrook, Ill.) were all part of Giovanine’s regular rotation this year. Johnson played in all 27 games, starting 20, and fought through recurring shoulder problems to average 6.3 points and 3.6 rebounds per contest. Pils averaged 4.8 points in just over 16 minutes per game, shooting .386 from three-point range and .781 from the free throw line. All eight members of this year’s freshman class saw varsity court time this season, the most since 1987-88.

Augustana’s men’s basketball completed an eventful 2011-12 season with a 19-7 record. The Vikings finished 9-5 in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin, qualifying for the conference tournament for the seventh consecutive year. The season got an early start with a November 3 date at Division I Valparaiso. Despite game highs of 25 points and six steals by senior Bryant Voiles (Byron HS, Byron, Ill.), coach Grey Giovanine’s Vikings fell by to the Crusaders by a score of 74-65. Valparaiso went on to win 22 games and a Horizon League regular season championship. Augustana, ranked second in the nation in D3hoops.com’s pre-season poll, opened the regular season with impressive home wins over Aurora (102-68) and St. Norbert (79-48). An 80-72 win at Wisconsin-Oshkosh, combined with a loss by top-ranked Virginia Wesleyan, vaulted the Vikings to a number one national ranking for the first time since 1982. The same day the poll came out, Voiles exploded for 38 points and 10 rebounds in an 83-75 win at rival St. Ambrose. The team traveled to St. Louis, Missouri to compete in Washington University’s Lopata Classic where it took care of Wisconsin Lutheran 74-46 in the semifinals, but fell to the host Bears 71-68 in the finals. The Vikings closed the non-conference portion of the schedule with five straight wins to improve to 10-1. Included in that run was a 69-64 home win over 21st-ranked Wisconsin-Stevens Point as well as impressive victories over the University of Chicago (93-52) and MacMurray (96-53). The Vikings hit a school-record 15 three-point field goals in the win over the Highlanders. After opening the CCIW portion of the schedule with a 64-39 win at Millikin, Augustana dropped consecutive contests against North Central (67-62) at home and Illinois Wesleyan (73-63) and Elmhurst (56-55) on the road. In the latter, the Bluejays’ Zack Boyd hit a game-winning 20-footer at the buzzer that might ultimately have cost the Vikings an NCAA tournament berth. Giovanine’s crew used a stretch of five straight games at Carver Center to get back on track, winning all five to improve to 16-4 on the year and 6-3 in the league. The first four victories came by an average of almost 34 points per game, including a 70-46 win over CCIW co-leader Wheaton and a 98-28 win over Millikin which set school and conference records for largest margin of victory. The homestand was capped off with a thrilling 80-78 overtime win over Illinois Wesleyan. Augustana dropped the rematch with eventual CCIW champion North Central 43-41 in Naperville, Illinois, then sandwiched victories at North Park and Carthage around a Senior Night win over Elmhurst. A three-pointer by senior Troy Rorer (Bettendorf HS, Bettendorf, Iowa) at the regulation buzzer tied the Carthage contest at 66 and got the Vikings to overtime, where they pulled out a 74-73 win. The team closed the regular season by dropping a 74-44 decision at Wheaton. With a 19-6 record, Augustana returned to Naperville for the CCIW tournament. The only team to appear in the event in all seven years of its existence, the Vikings went in as the number four seed and facing a third meeting with the host Cardinals. Despite leading late, they couldn’t hold on for the win, falling 63-56 to end their season. Rorer and Voiles were both named to the 2012 All-CCIW second team. Voiles was a repeat selection to the all-league second team.

Rorer excelled as Augustana’s defensive stopper for the last three years and was second on the team in scoring (11.2 ppg), assists (66) and steals (25) this season. He closed his career ranking in the school’s top 50 in games played (88), assists (188), steals (83), three pointers (48), free throw attempts (251), blocked shots (18), rebounds (331) and made free throws (147). Voiles was the Vikings’ leading scorer and rebounder this year with averages of 14.2 points and 7.2 boards per game. He was also the team’s top free throw shooter (.830 on 117 of 141) and tied for the team lead with 36 three-point field goals. He leaves Augustana with 881 points and 460 rebounds, ranking 36th and 25th respectively on the school’s career lists. His 112 career three’s are 10th-best in school history as are his 48 blocked shots. He ranks 16th in career three-point percentage (.385), free throws made (237) and free throws attempted (315) and is in the top 50 in games played (84), free throw percentage (.752) and assists (131) as well. DeSimone averaged 7.2 points per game this season and led the team with 89 assists and 34 steals. He closes his career ranking fifth in school history in both games played (107) and assists (303). In addition he’s sixth all-time in steals (124) and 11th in three-pointers (102). He also ranks in the school’s top 50 in free throws made (168) and attempted (222), free throw percentage (.757) and three-point percentage (.331). This year’s senior class of Chris Anderson (West Carroll HS, Mt. Carroll, Ill.), DeSimone, Griffin Dwyer (Hersey HS, Arlington Heights, Ill.), Rorer and Voiles helped lead the program to an 80-29 (.734) record over the last four years, including 38-18 (.679) in conference play, with CCIW regular season and tournament titles and the second-most wins in school history (27) in 2011.

Other members of Giovanine’s rotation this season included junior frontcourt players Brandon Kunz (Lake Zurich HS, Lake Zurich, Ill.), Kameron Norton (Downers Grove North HS, Downers Grove, Ill.) and George Dexter (Bettendorf HS, Bettendorf, Iowa), sophomore center Kevin Schlitter (Maine South HS, Park Ridge, Ill.) and freshmen guards Danielius Jurgutis (Downers Grove South HS, Darien, Ill.) and Mark Roth (Washington HS, Metamora, Ill.). Kunz averaged 6.8 points and 6.0 rebounds per game. He was the team’s second leading rebounder despite starting just six of 26 contests. He shot .543 from the field and led the team with 18 blocked shots. The combination of Norton and Dexter at power forward combined for 8.7 points and 8.7 rebounds per game. Roth tied Voiles for the team lead with 36 three-pointers and his .439 mark from beyond the arc was the team’s best. Jurgutis averaged 4.5 points and 1.5 assists in 12.9 minutes per game backing up DeSimone at the point. He shot .464 from the field and .750 from the free throw line. Schlitter split time with Kunz at center, starting six games and averaging 5.0 points and 2.5 rebounds and converting .589 of his field goals attempts. This year’s team thrived on defense and rebounding. The Vikings held the opposition to just .397 shooting from the field and 58.9 points per game. Both of those marks are the best at Augustana since the 1972-73 team, led by twin towers John Laing and Bruce Hamming, held its opponents to .379 field goal shooting and 58.5 points a contest. That defensive effort also allowed the 2011-12 squad to post an average scoring margin of 13.0 points per game—the program’s best since coach Jim Borcherding’s national runner up squad of 1980-81 defeated its foes by an average of 15.9 points per game. The Vikings also outrebounded the opposition by an average of 11.2 per game this year. Not since the 1964-65 season, when Bob Karlblom and George Strombom led Augustana to a 13.7 per-game edge on the glass, has a Viking team been as dominant on the boards.

Outside the Augustana campus, expectations weren’t particularly high for the Vikings coming into the 2010-11 campaign. Coach Grey Giovanine’s crew was coming off the program’s first 10-loss season in a decade and picked a distant third behind Carthage and Illinois Wesleyan in the CCIW pre-season coaches’ poll. Those around the program however, were optimistic that the return of everyone but Matt Pelton from last year’s squad along with the addition of Bryant Voiles (Byron HS, Byron, Ill.), who missed all but three games in 2009-10 with an injury, would yield better than expected results. The team’s summer trip to Asia was a sign of things to come. The Vikings won four of five contests in China, falling only to the Chinese Junior National team—which featured four players 6’10” or taller—by a single point. Little did anyone know that loss—on August 13— would be the last the Vikings would suffer until February. Augustana went on to win its first 20 games of the season, breaking the school record for longest winning streak. The Vikings finished 27-4 overall—the second highest win total in school history—and won a share of their fifth CCIW title in the last nine seasons before capturing their third CCIW tournament championship in the six-year history of the event. Giovanine’s squad reached the quarterfinals of the NCAA Division III tournament before falling to eventual national champion St. Thomas and was ranked seventh in the nation in the final D3Hoops.com poll. The team’s 2010-11 schedule didn’t look very conducive to putting together a long winning streak. Augustana would play 11 games against teams ranked 21st or higher in the D3Hoops.com pre-season poll and 15 against teams that had reached the 2010 NCAA tournament. After opening the season with an 85-66 win over Simpson on the road, the Vikings returned home for back-to-back games against

2010 NCAA tournament teams Washington University and Anderson. Augustana took care of the 20th-ranked Bears—national champions in 2008 and 2009—by a score of 78-55 and then beat 14th-ranked Anderson 74-69 behind a season-high 27 points from senior co-captain Kyle Nelson (Deerfield HS, Deerfield, Ill.). Following a lackluster 66-59 road win over Monmouth, the Vikings came out winners in the Quad-Cities rivalry game against St. Ambrose. Augustana defeated the NAIA Division II 13th-ranked Bees by a score of 80-73. Home wins over Buena Vista (71-63) and pre-season 21st-ranked and 2010 NCAA tournament participant Wisconsin-Whitewater (70-64) followed, along with a 53-50 win at MacMurray as the Vikings improved to 8-0. The winning streak reached 10 in DePere, Wisconsin, at the Nicolet National Bank Holiday Tournament with wins over Wisconsin-Stout (81-75) and host St. Norbert (57-56). Augustana knocked off the 12th-ranked Green Knights on their home court despite not having a single player reach double figures in scoring. Voiles was named the tournament MVP and was joined on the all-tournament team by Nelson and Kameron Norton (Downers Grove North HS, Downers Grove, Ill.). The Vikings finished the non-conference portion of the schedule with a come-from-behind 63-56 win at the University of Chicago to improve to 11-0. There was no let up when the CCIW season started, as the team completed the first half of the conference slate 7-0. Included in those seven wins were an impressive 70-57 defeat of Wheaton—another 2010 NCAA tournament team—in a game which the Vikings led by 20 at the half, and a 58-54 win on the road against defending league champ and pre-season conference favorite Carthage. A 66-50 win over a surprising North Central team, which would go on to share the regular season title with the Vikings, pushed Augustana’s record to 17-0—the best start to a season in school history. The 1935-36 club won its first 16 games. The Vikings wrapped up the first half of the conference schedule by coming from 16 points down at home to defeat Illinois Wesleyan 69-67 on Nelson’s put-back with 2.8 seconds left. After playing five of its first seven CCIW games at the friendly confines of Carver Center, Augustana faced a gauntlet of road contests in the second half, including four straight away from home to end the regular season. Ironically, after moving to 20-0 with wins over Elmhurst (73-49) and North Park (76-66), it was the final home date of the year when the streak finally ended. Carthage handed the Vikings their first loss, a 65-58 setback in front of 2,400 fans on senior night. The Vikings rebounded to start that final four-game stretch with wins at Wheaton (80-77) and Millikin (71-51) to set up a showdown at North Central. The young Cardinals prevented Augustana from winning the outright title by grinding out a 50-46 win. The Vikings still had a chance to claim sole ownership of the regular season championship with a win in the finale at Illinois Wesleyan, but a bucket with one second left gave the Titans a 70-68 lead and the hosts survived when Nelson’s three-point attempt at the buzzer bounced off the back iron. Three days later those two setbacks seemed like ancient history as the Vikings rolled to a 73-58 win over Wheaton in the first round of the CCIW tournament in Naperville, Illinois. The 15-point margin of victory was the largest in the six-year history of the tournament. It was a record that lasted only one day however, as Augustana avenged the loss to Illinois Wesleyan four days earlier with a 76-52 win over the Titans in Saturday’s championship game. The team’s third CCIW tournament championship earned it the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Division III tournament. Carver Center hosted the first two rounds of play and the Vikings handled St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champ Webster 76-51 in their opener to advance to face Hope in the second round. The Flying Dutchmen were champions of the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association and entered the game with a 23-6 record after a first round win over Hanover. Augustana shot .667 from the field in the first half and jumped to a 10-point lead at intermission, but Hope staged a furious rally and led 74-71 before a Brian DeSimone (Buffalo Grove HS, Wheeling, Ill.) three-pointer with 4.1 seconds left tied it. With momentum on their side, the Vikings pulled away to an 88-80 win in overtime.

Augustana was chosen as a sectional site as well, with Carver Center hosting an Elite Eight game for the first time since 1981. The sectional opener matched third-ranked and 26-3 Wisconsin Stevens Point against eighth-rated and 26-3 St. Thomas. Augustana, 26-3 and ranked seventh in the nation, met 23-7 Mary Hardin-Baylor in the second sectional semifinal. St. Thomas edged UWSP 66-64 in the first game Friday night and the Vikings held UMHB to .295 shooting from the field in a 70-57 win in the nightcap. In the sectional final, St. Thomas put together an impressive performance on both ends of the court to end the Vikings’ spectacular season by a score of 72-56. Statistically, Nelson was the Vikings’ leading scorer and rebounder throughout the season with averages of 13.7 points and 6.6 boards per game. He converted .514 of his field goal attempts and also ranked third on the team with 29 steals and fourth with 56 assists. He was a first team All-CCIW pick for the second straight year and D3Hoops.com had him on its pre-season All-America fifth team and named him first team All-Midwest Region following the season. He was a first team all-region selection by the National Association of Basketball Coaches as well. Nelson was also one of 10 finalists for the prestigious Jostens Trophy, a national award to honor the most outstanding men's and women's Division III basketball players of the year. The 6-9 junior Voiles—a second team All-CCIW performer—returned from last year’s injury to finish right behind Nelson in both scoring and rebounding, dropping 12.4 points and grabbing 5.8 caroms per contest. He was the Vikings’ most proficient three-point shooter, connecting on 58 in 140 attempts (.414) and led the team in blocked shots as well with 24. For good measure, he finished third on the team with 71 assists. Junior point guard DeSimone, who earned third team all-conference honors, was tremendous during Augustana’s post-season run and finished as the team’s third-leading scorer at 9.5 points per game. He led the team in steals (37) and assists (86)

and hit 47 of 127 (.370) three-point attempts. Junior Chris Anderson (West Carroll HS, Mt. Carroll, Ill.) was the team’s fourth-leading scorer at 8.1 points a game and third on the team with 34 three-point field goals. Junior guard Troy Rorer (Bettendorf HS, Bettendorf, Iowa) was the Vikings’ super-sub for most of the year, averaging 6.2 points, 3.9 rebounds and hitting .347 from beyond the arc. He finished second on the team with 73 assists and 34 steals. Norton, a 6-6 sophomore forward, started nine games including the final seven and averaged 4.8 point and 3.6 rebounds while converting .590 from the floor. Senior Drew Croegaert (Geneseo HS, Geneseo, Ill.) averaged 3.9 points and connected on .357 from three-point range and .763 at the free throw line while backing up DeSimone at the point. The rest of coach Grey Giovanine’s 11-man rotation consisted of 6-4 senior guard Mike Avallone (Neuqua Valley HS, Naperville, Ill.) (1.8 ppg, .364 3p%, .800 ft%) and three more sophomore big men. 6-7 George Dexter (Bettendorf HS, Bettendorf, Iowa) started 19 games and averaged 4.4 points and 2.7 rebounds with shooting percentages of .544 from the field and .736 from the line. 6-9 Luke Scarlata (Morton HS, Berwyn, Ill.) (2.9 ppg, 2.1 rpg) shot .667 from the field and was second on the team with 15 blocked shots and 6-7 Brandon Kunz (Lake Zurich HS, Lake Zurich, Ill.) averaged 2.4 points and 2.5 rebounds a game, shooting .542 from the floor. As a team, rebounding and defense carried the Vikings all season. They finished among the nation’s leaders in field goal percentage defense (.408) and scoring defense (60.1 ppg) as well as rebound margin (+8.4 per game). Offensively, Augustana averaged 69.5 points per game on shooting percentages of .455 from the floor, .364 from three-point range and .679 from the free throw line.

Much of the buzz surrounding the Augustana basketball program heading into the 2009-10 season centered around the team’s early December trip to Spokane, Washington to face nationally-ranked Division I Gonzaga. Much like the last time the Vikings faced a Division I opponent during the regular season (a season-opening loss in 2004-05 to a Southern Illinois team that would finish 27-8), they would do it with a green unit trying to overcome the loss of six seniors from the previous season. While injuries and lack of experience left the team’s rotation in a near constant state of flux throughout the season, coach Grey Giovanine was able to guide the Vikings to a 16-10 overall record and a 9-5 finish in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin. It marked the 10th consecutive season that Augustana has won at least 16 contests overall and nine in the league. In addition, the team’s fourth-place finish in the CCIW ensured it a spot in the conference tournament for the fifth consecutive season, making it the only school in the league to have qualified for the event every year since its inception in 2006. Heading into the season just about the only sure thing regarding the lineup was that it would include Matt Pelton (Bloomington, Ill. Central Catholic HS, Houston, Texas). The 6-3 guard entered his senior year having never missed a game since setting foot on campus in 2006. The two-time team captain also had a string of 55 consecutive starts which would continue through the end of the season, finally reaching 81. Pelton ended up playing more games in a Viking uniform—109—than anyone but Bruce Hamming (111 from 1971-75) and Mark Brooks (110 from 1969-73). Two Vikings that were expected to join Pelton in the lineup were junior forwards Kyle Nelson (Deerfield HS, Deerfield, Ill.) and Bryant Voiles (Byron HS, Byron, Ill.). Both had been extremely productive off the bench as sophomores and had Giovanine and his staff envisioning the possibility of a massive front line consisting of the 6-9 duo and either 6-10 senior Terrence Green (King HS, Chicago, Ill.) or any of a fine crop of freshmen big men. The perimeter skills of the 6-9 Voiles made that imposing front line a possibility, but unfortunately a balky foot would not. He lasted only three games before the coaching staff made the prudent decision to shut him down and have the injury tended to surgically. Voiles averaged 10 points and 5 rebounds in 23.3 minutes a game, hitting .733 from the field and .571 from three-point range in his truncated season. It marked the third time in four years that an early-season injury cost the Vikings a double-digit scorer for the remainder of the year (Oliver Rorer in 2006-07 and Jordan Delp in 2007-08). A pre-season foot injury to Green further clouded the front line situation and as a result, the Viking faithful got an earlier than expected introduction to that class of freshmen big men. When the team took the floor for its season opener against Simpson, the Vikings’ lineup consisted of Pelton, Nelson, Voiles and sophomore Brian DeSimone (Buffalo Grove HS, Wheeling, Ill.) who logged substantial minutes as Pelton’s backup in 2008-09 and became the starting point guard this year when Pelton was moved off the ball. The fifth Augustana starter was 6-7 forward George Dexter (Bettendorf HS, Bettendorf, Iowa) who became the first freshman in nine years to start a season opener for Giovanine. Augustana won the opener over Simpson by a score of 58-53 at Carver Center and followed with two more home victories, handling Beloit, 66-53, and MacMurray, 85-65. Sophomores Chris Anderson (West Carroll HS, Mt. Carroll, Ill.) and Troy Rorer (Bettendorf HS, Bettendorf, Iowa) along with freshman Luke Scarlata (Morton HS, Berwyn, Ill.) cracked the starting lineup in the MacMurray game as Giovanine shuffled things around. Augustana’s first road test of the year would be a tough one against the Ravens of Anderson University in Anderson, Indiana. The Vikings had to deal not only with the loss of Voiles and a five-hour bus ride, but an opponent that would go on to post a 22-3 regular season record, win the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference championship and earn a berth in the NCAA tournament. Pelton and Rorer delivered career-highs of 26 and 14 points, respectively, and Augustana outscored the Ravens 14-7 over the last six minutes to claim a 79-72 win in one of its most complete performances of the season. The Vikings also pocketed a 73-56 win at Knox to improve to 5-0 as they headed west to face Gonzaga. The Vikings, ranked 15th in the nation by D3Hoops.com, would be facing a Bulldog squad that was the nation’s 21st-ranked Division I team and whose 2008-09 season had ended with a third-round NCAA tournament loss to eventual national champion North Carolina. Gonzaga also entered the contest having won 66 of 70 games it in its home arena, the McCarthey Center, also known as “The Kennel.” The scrappy Vikings hung with the Zags for a while and trailed by just nine points with less than six minutes to play in the first half. Unfortunately, Gonzaga closed the half with a 20-3 run and cruised to a 79-40 win. Augustana challenged the Bulldogs on the glass all night and an ended up losing the rebound battle by a slim 45-41 margin. The 6-2 Rorer grabbed nine boards, more than any other player on the floor. However, any chance to keep the score closer was hampered by a 1-for-21 Viking performance from three-point range. Two days after returning home from Spokane, the Vikings were back on the road, this time headed for St. Louis and a date with top-ranked and two-time defending Division III national champion Washington University. Despite 19 points, nine rebounds and three assists from Nelson, Augustana dropped a 71-53 decision as Bear All-American Aaron Thompson missed just one shot in a 26-point performance. The team rebounded with home victories over Chicago, 59-47, and Monmouth, 87-68, to improve to 7-2. The Monmouth win was highlighted by six first-half three-pointers from Anderson. Then it was back on the road for a pair of games to finish the nation’s toughest non-conference schedule.

First, third-ranked Wisconsin-Whitewater outscored the Vikings 22-10 over the final eight minutes to claim a 77-66 win. Nelson, who was beginning to emerge as a dominant low-post presence, finished with 17 points and 11 rebounds and his emergence continued with a 27-point performance at Buena Vista. Freshman forward Kameron Norton (Downers Grove North HS, Downers Grove, Ill.) added a season-high nine points and seven rebounds, but in an otherwise flat performance, the Vikings fell to the Beavers by a 76-66 score. Entering the CCIW schedule with a 7-4 record, Augustana won its first two league games over North Park (77-63) at home and Elmhurst (64-50) on the road. A 17-0 start and a career-high 14 points from DeSimone keyed the victory over North Park. The team continued its two-win/two-loss pattern, faltering late in a 69-63 loss at Wheaton and trailing the entire way in a 69-64 home loss to Carthage. They rebounded with wins at Millikin, 63-49, and North Central, 81-71. The Vikings had their best shooting performance in over five years in the win over the Cardinals, connecting on .633 from the field. Augustana was 11-7 overall and 4-2 in the conference heading into a road date with Illinois Wesleyan. The Vikings had won seven straight over the Titans including four in a row at IWU’s Shirk Center. Playing with a front line rotation already shortened by injuries to Dexter and Scarlata, foul trouble for Nelson further complicated things as the Vikings trailed almost the entire game and fell, 71-64. IWU went a remarkable eight for nine from three-point range in the first half. Nelson converted all 12 of his field goal attempts in a career-high 28-point performance against Elmhurst and the Vikings followed that 62-49 home win with a 68-63 victory at North Park. Nelson snared a career-high 16 rebounds and 6-7 freshman Brandon Kunz (Lake Zurich HS, Lake Zurich, Ill.) added season highs of 12 points and seven rebounds. Taking a 13-7 overall record and 6-3 CCIW mark to Kenosha, Wisconsin for a showdown with league-leading (and eventual conference champion) Carthage, the Vikings put together 23 minutes of brilliant basketball to hand the Red Men a 70-59 loss. Augustana, who trailed the entire game in a home loss to Carthage three weeks earlier, trailed by 16 points with three minutes left in the first half. However, from that point forward the Vikings allowed the Red Men to convert just four of 30 field goal attempts and outscored them 48-21. Nelson had another huge game with 24 points and 13 boards. Having negotiated the start of the CCIW schedule which had them on the road for seven of the first 10 games, the Vikings were optimistic about having the final four league games at Carver Center. Unfortunately, the first game of that final home stand resulted in probably the team’s toughest loss of the year. Leading by nine with four and a half minutes left, the Vikings allowed three Wheaton three-pointers down the stretch as the Thunder came back for a 56-53 win. Pelton scored 16 points on “Senior Night” as the Vikings improved to 15-8 overall and 8-4 in the CCIW with a 55-46 win over Millikin. Augustana just missed out on a chance at redemption against Illinois Wesleyan, dropping a 62-59 decision due in large part to a four-of-nine performance from the free throw line. The Vikings closed the regular season with a 72-55 win over North Central as Nelson posted another double-double (16 points and 10 rebounds) and Kunz added 10 points on a perfect five-of-five performance from the floor. Having finished the regular season 16-9 overall and 9-5 in the CCIW, it was back on the road to Kenosha for the conference tournament. As the fourth seed, Augustana was matched up in the second semifinal against the host Carthage Red Men. For 25 minutes of play it looked like the Vikings would continue their Tarble Center magic. A pair of Pelton free throws gave them a 39-30 lead with 15 minutes left, but Carthage All-America Steve Djurickovic took over down the stretch, scoring the Red Men’s last 11 points to spark a 55-52 come-from-behind win. Pelton was outstanding, with 21 points in his final collegiate game. The lone senior on the Viking roster, Pelton finished a tremendous career at Augustana in 2009-10. He was second on the team in scoring at 12.3 points per game and led the team in steals with 42, three-point field goals with 45 and free throw percentage at .839. He was also second on the team with 61 assists. He was a second team All-CCIW selection for the second straight year (in addition to earning third team honors as a sophomore). He also won academic all-conference honors for the fourth consecutive year and was named a third team Academic All-American by ESPN The Magazine. He ranked high on several of the school’s career statistical lists as well. In addition to appearing in 109 games, his 138 career steals tie him for fourth all-time at Augustana and he finished tied for seventh in three-point field goals with 116. He also dished out 250 assists to tie for 11th all-time at Augustana and connected on .804 from the free throw line—the 15th best career mark in school history—and .385 from behind the three-point arc—16th on the school’s career list. He helped the Vikings to a 79-30 (.725) record during his four years and Augustana went 40-16 (.714) in CCIW play during that time, winning a pair of conference championships and two CCIW tournament titles. Nelson, who was a first team All-CCIW selection, led the Vikings in scoring and rebounding, averaging 14.7 points and 7.7 rebounds per contest. His .602 field goal percentage also led the team and ranked as the seventh-best single season mark in school history. Nelson will enter his senior season third on Augustana’s career field goal percentage list with a .586 mark. In conference play, he ranked second in the league in rebounding (8.2 rpg) and field goal percentage (.655) and seventh in scoring (15.6 ppg). Other statistical leaders for the Vikings included DeSimone, who led in assists with 85. He was also second on the team in steals with 30 and free throw percentage at .803. Anderson led the team in three-point percentage with a .433 mark while Norton led the Vikings with 19 blocked shots and ranked second in rebounding at 4.6 per game. In league play, the Vikings finished at or near the top in several CCIW statistical categories. They led the league in scoring defense (59.4 ppg), field goal defense (.423), three-point field goal defense (.320), rebounds (34.1 per game), fewest opponents’ rebounds (27.9 per game) and rebound margin (+6.2 per game). They also finished second in scoring margin (+6.0 per game) and third in field goal percentage (.493).

+at University of Iowa

One thing that has been a hallmark of Grey Giovanine coached teams at Augustana has been tenacious defense and relentless rebounding and both of those staples carried the Vikings in the 2008-09 season. Some nagging injuries kept Giovanine busy with trying to find the right combination in a season that ended with an 18-8 overall record. Augustana was 9-5 in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin and placed third in the league standings.

Through it all the Vikings defended and rebounded like they always have and the result was success as usual. Augustana was coming off three straight outright CCIW titles and two consecutive conference tournament championships. The Blue & Gold had also been participants in three straight NCAA Division III tournaments. While all of those streaks ended in 2008-09, it was still a tremendous season in the Carver Center.

The Vikings made it awfully tough on opposing offenses, limiting foes to just 61.4 points per game and .432 (588-1362) shooting from the floor, including just .334 (145-434) from three point range. In 20 of the 26 games they held the opponent to 65 points or less. They outrebounded their opponents 35.2 to 30.0 with senior Chandlor Collins leading the way with a 9.8 average.

The season began with Augustana ranked second in NCAA Division III and the first home game of the year was a classic “one vs. two” matchup. After opening the year with wins at Simpson (82-79) and Chicago (58-57), the Vikings entertained Washington on November 22. It was a special night in the Carver Center as the building opened its 38 th season with a new look and a game for the ages.

Over the summer a new, center-hung scoreboard was installed and the old wooden bleachers were torn out and replaced with state of the art, plastic seats. On the North side, behind the scorer’s table, chair back seats were in place and the building had the look of a new facility. There couldn’t have been a better game to start things off as the Vikings and the Bears, defending NCAA Division III national champions, hooked up in a classic. Less than nine months earlier Washington had defeated the Vikings 70-67 in overtime in the final of the regional and eventually went on to win the national title. The game to tip off the “new-look” Carver was just as good, again going into overtime before Washington prevailed 87-82.

The Vikings would lose just once more, 61-54 at Wisconsin-LaCrosse, in the non-conference portion of the schedule. Heading into CCIW action, Augustana was 9-2 and set to defend its league title. Home court wins over North Park (70-53) and Elmhurst (56-55) gave the Vikings a 2-0 start. Road trips to Carthage and Wheaton resulted in a pair of losses and a 2-2 mark heading into a home game against North Central on January 17. Augustana prevailed 80-63 and that kicked off a four game winning streak.

With a 15-4 overall record and a 6-2 record in the CCIW, a homecourt showdown with Wheaton loomed on January 31. The Thunder got the best of the Vikings 64-55 and that was followed by a tough 65-63 loss at Elmhurst on February 4. Suddenly, the three time defending league champions were struggling to make it into the top four and a spot in the conference tournament. With four games left on the schedule, every contest was important and Giovanine’s crew came through with victories in three of those to secure the third seed in the conference tournament.

Played at Wheaton, the CCIW tournament provided the opportunity for the Vikings to play their way into the NCAA tournament. Despite a tremendous individual performance from Collins, who hauled in a CCIW tournament record 20 rebounds, Augustana fell to Elmhurst 59-53 to end its season.

It was a tough pill to swallow, especially for six seniors who had been instrumental for a tremendous run of success. Collins, Justin Bertrand, Jordan Delp, Brett Wessels, Alex Washington and Jeff Becker finished their careers with quite a legacy. Delp was actually a fifth year senior, having had his first senior season in 2007-08 cut short due to injury and Wessels had transferred in from the University of Iowa prior to his junior year. Bertrand, Washington, Collins and Becker started in the program as freshmen in 2005-06.

In the four years between 2005-06 and 2008-09, Augustana fashioned a record of 87-26 (.769) overall and 42-14 (.750) in the CCIW. The Vikings won CCIW titles in 2005-06, 2006-7 and 2007-08 and finished third in 2008-09 and they won the CCIW tournament in 2006-07 and 2007-08. They also participated in three straight NCAA tournaments.

Almost lost was the fact that Augustana was ranked in the top 25 of NCAA Division III by D3hoops.com for an incredible 56 consecutive weeks. The streak started in the first week of the 2005-06 campaign and ended in week 11 of the 2008-09 season. Since D3hoops began rankings in 2000-01, Giovanine’s team has been ranked in the top 25 a total of 67 weeks and has been in either the top 25 or “others receiving votes” in 105 out of a possible 141 weeks. Truly a remarkable testimony to the strength and overall depth of the program.

Augustana has now enjoyed nine consecutive seasons with at least 16 overall wins and the Vikings have never won fewer than nine games (out of a possible 14) in the CCIW. They have won four league titles, finished second twice, third once and fourth twice.

The Carver Center has always been a tough place for opponents to play and Augustana has fashioned an impressive 388-97 (.800) record overall and a 224-63 (.780) mark in CCIW action. The seniors on this team went 50-8 (.862) overall and 26-2 (.929) in the CCIW at home since 2005-06.

There was no single offensive standout this year as Wessels led the team in scoring with a 10.6 average and a total of eight players averaged at least 5.4 points per game. The Vikings shot just .462 (682-1475) from the floor as injuries claimed starters Delp, Wessels and Bertrand for a total of nine games during the year. Augustana led the CCIW in five statistical categories: scoring defense (60.9 ppg)…field goal percentage defense (.433)…rebounding (34.6 rpg)…steals (6.14 spg)…offensive rebounds (10.83 orpg).

Collins was a first team all-conference selection and junior Matt Pelton made the second team. Wessels was a third team pick. Collins swept the post season team awards as he was the MVP, Defensive Player of the Year and Best Rebounder. He actually shared the Defensive Player of the Year with Washington for the second year in a row. Collins led the CCIW in rebounding (9.6 rpg), blocked shots (2.50 bpg), offensive rebounds (2.86 orpg) and defensive rebounds (6.71 drpg).

The head coaches of the CCIW made the Augustana Vikings their pre-season choice to win the conference in 2007-08 due, in large part, to the return of their two 2007 second team All-CCIW players, Jordan Delp and Dain Swetalla. Little did anyone know at the time that the Vikings would indeed capture their third straight league title, but without the services of team captain and emotional leader Delp. After the early season loss of Delp, the team’s best perimeter offensive threat, to a ruptured Achilles tendon, head coach Grey Giovanine convinced his charges that they would have to become a collective unit and depend on their tenacious defense even more than in the past. Given his previous teams’ reputation for intense, physical defense, it was quite a challenge. This team embraced the challenge and, despite struggling on offense at times, still won the conference by two games over Wheaton and Illinois Wesleyan. By winning the outright league championship for the third year in a row, this year’s team put themselves in some elite company. It was the first time any CCIW team had won three straight undisputed regular season titles in 28 years. The great North Park teams, who won three straight national championships from 1978-80, were the last to do it. In addition, Augustana put themselves in position to go for a fourth straight outright title in 2008-09. That’s been done just once in league history.

The Vikings opened the season looking down the barrel at one of the toughest schedules in the nation. Pre-season #1-ranked Washington University highlighted the non-conference portion, which also included the top three 2007 finishers in the ultra-competitive Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference as well as St. Louis Intercollegiate Athletic Conference champion Webster. Augustana jumped out of the gate 3-0 including a thrilling 66-60 win over top-ranked Washington. The Vikings suffered a tough home loss to Wisconsin-LaCrosse when a potential game-winning three-pointer by Brett Wessels was waived off by the officials on an offensive foul. They rebounded, however, by winning six straight, including wins over local rival St. Ambrose and 13th-ranked Wisconsin-Oshkosh on Oshkosh’s home court. During that streak, in a 77-70 double overtime win at St. Norbert, the Vikings lost Delp, who was in the midst of one of his best games of the year with 22 points at the time. Augustana closed the non-conference portion of their schedule with a 73-63 loss to third-ranked Wisconsin-Stevens Point to put their record at 9-2. Grey Giovanine’s re-tooled Vikings entered CCIW play with just one player, Swetalla, who had started more than one CCIW game in his career. Junior Alex Washington, who started a single conference game as a sophomore, was the only other Viking who had ever started a CCIW contest. Wessels, a junior transfer from the University of Iowa, sophomore Matt Pelton and junior Chandlor Collins rounded out the Augustana starting five for the better part of the season. After a two-and-a-half week layoff the Vikings opened CCIW play at North Park and, uncharacteristically, struggled down the stretch in a 67-58 loss. After home wins over 10th-ranked Elmhurst 74-72 and 18th-ranked Wheaton, 66-60, Augustana again faltered late in a 74-68 loss at Carthage. That would be their last loss for a while as they ran off another six-game winning streak, highlighted by a 65-61 win at Illinois Wesleyan and 76-69 reversal over Carthage. In that game, sophomore Brian Larson got his only career start, filling in for an ailing Washington, and responded with 24 points, the second-highest single game total for the Vikings this year. After falling on the road to a red-hot Wheaton team, 73-60, Augustana finished with a flourish. They won their final three CCIW contests including clinching at least a share of the conference championship against Illinois Wesleyan for the third year in a row. They clinched the outright title three nights later in the regular season finale at North Central. The clutch-shooting Pelton capped Augustana’s comeback by giving the Vikings a lead they’d never relinquish on a three-pointer with 1:06 left. Augustana returned to Carver Center to host the CCIW tournament for the third time in its three-year existence. In the semifinals against Elmhurst, they put four starters in double figures to survive 69-68 in overtime and complete a three-game season sweep of the talented Bluejays. Collins was huge in the win, recording a double-double with 16 points and 12 rebounds and blocking three shots by All-CCIW center Brent Ruch in overtime. Playing without second team All-CCIW center Swetalla (out with a wrist injury) in the finals, the Vikings dispatched Illinois Wesleyan 71-60, completing a three-game season sweep of the Titans. Washington led Augustana with 14 points and they got outstanding contributions from Swetalla’s replacement, senior Dan Rukavina, who had seven points and seven rebounds, as well as junior Justin Bertrand, who exploded for 13 points and 11 rebounds off the bench. Bertrand was especially good down the stretch with seven points and five rebounds in the last 3:07 of the game. Their conference tournament title earned the Vikings their third straight NCAA Division III tournament berth and they hosted a four-team regional at Carver Center. Probably the toughest bracket in the entire tournament, it featured 6th-ranked Augustana as well as 11th-rated Washington University and 17th-ranked Wooster. Washington and Wooster were matched up in the first round in a rematch of last year’s national third place game, won by Washington. Augustana’s first round opponent was Aurora and they got possibly their best individual performance of the season by Wessels, who scored 28 points (21 in the second half) and collected 10 steals to lead Augustana to a 72-61 win. Also key was the defensive job done, primarily by Collins and Bertrand, on Spartan All-American Larry Welton, who finished with just eight points while committing six turnovers. The Vikings season ended with a heart-breaking 70-67 overtime loss to Washington University the next night. In a game that resembled a heavyweight slugfest, Augustana played from behind most of the game, but tied it with 0.9 seconds left in regulation on two do-or-die free throws by Collins. Unfortunately the Bears held off the Vikings in the overtime, ending their fine season. Head coach Grey Giovanine and his Vikings overcame the loss of Delp to have another outstanding season. They finished 23-6, making them 68-18 over the last three years. And with four starters due to return next year, there’s plenty of reason for optimism as they seek their fourth straight conference championship. This year’s senior class of Delp, Swetalla, Rukavina, and Oliver Rorer were instrumental in Augustana’s recent success. In fact, Swetalla was the starting center on three consecutive outright champions, joining players such as North Park’s Michael Harper and Illinois Wesleyan’s Jack Sikma in doing so. Once again offensive balance and tenacious defense were the keys to this year’s team. Wessels led the Vikings in scoring at 14.2 points per game as well as steals with 65, free throw percentage at .850, and three-pointers with 54. He led the CCIW in steals and was rewarded with first team All-CCIW honors. Swetalla was second in scoring and rebounding with averages of 11.2 and 5.9 respectively. He was a second team All-CCIW selection for the second straight year. Washington also averaged double figures at 10.3 points a game. Collins led in rebounding at 8.4 per game, the highest average for an Augustana player in 15 years. He also led the team in field goal percentage at .543 and blocked shots with 37. Pelton led in assists with 97 and three-point percentage at .365, and committed just 51 turnovers in a team-high 886 minutes to earn third team All-CCIW honors.

Drew Wessels Jordan Delp—2007 2nd team All-CCIW

Using a combination of tough, hard-nosed defense and consummate team play, the Augustana Vikings confounded all the “experts” en route to winning the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin title for the second year in a row. Head coach Grey Giovanine’s squad put together a 22-6 overall record and an 11-3 mark in the CCIW and won the conference tournament for the first time in school history. Throw in a number 11 final NCAA Division III national ranking and the 2006-07 season was truly a great one for the Vikings. For the second consecutive year, Augustana qualified for the NCAA Division III national tournament and although that run ended in the first round with a 73-69 home loss to Carroll, it did not diminish the accomplishments of this gritty bunch that Giovanine molded. Heading into the 2006-07 campaign the Vikings were faced with the task of replacing Rick Harrigan and Jay McAdams-Thornton. Both finished their careers with over 1,000 points and Harrigan was the “Player of the Year” in both the CCIW and the NCAA Division III

Midwest Region in 2005-06. McAdams-Thornton was a first team all-conference performer and between them they averaged 35.8 points and 9.0 rebounds per game.

The annual pre-season polls had North Central as the pick to win the league but Giovanine got tremendous leadership out of a group of five seniors and parlayed that into the 10th CCIW title in school history. Drew Wessels, Nate Swetalla, Shaun Rose, Pat Brusveen and Joe Caricato formed the nucleus of a team that went 9-2 in the non-conference portion of the season and never stopped winning. Wessels was the motor that made the Vikings’ engine purr. The pesky little point guard led the team in assists (144) and steals (65) and was constantly in the middle of the action. He came up with a key steal in the closing seconds on an early season game with Washington and sank two free throws in a 75-73 win over a Bear team that would eventually make it all the way to the NCAA Division III Final Four. His basket in the final moments at North Central on January 20 gave Augustana a crucial 60-59 victory over the team picked to win the CCIW. He was a unanimous first team all-conference selection and was named to the all-Midwest Region team by both the National Association of Basketball Coaches and D3hoops.com. Wessels was also a finalist (one of 10) for the Jostens Award which goes annually to the NCAA Division III player who best combines athletics, academics and community service. Rose and Swetalla were both season long starters with Swetalla averaging 7.9 points and 3.2 rebounds and Rose contributing 7.2 points and 4.0 rebounds. Brusveen appeared in all 28 games and Caricato played in 22. It was Brusveen’s three point field goal at the buzzer that provided the winning margin in a 64-62 home victory over Illinois Wesleyan on January 24. The non-conference portion of the schedule ended with a hard-fought 71-68 loss at Wisconsin-Stevens Point on December 30 against a

Pointer team that would spend most of the season ranked number one in the country. Defense of the CCIW title began with a 62-48 home victory against North Park on January 3 but the Vikings crashed to earth with an 81-72 drubbing at the hands of Elmhurst on January 6. The loss at Elmhurst started a critical stretch in the season that had Augustana on the road for four of the first six league contests. Following the defeat at Elmhurst, the Vikings came up big in a 75-69 win at Wheaton on January 10 when Wessels and Jordan Delp put the defensive clamps on the Thunder’s Kent Raymond, who would be named the CCIW’s “Player of the Year” at the end of the season. He was held to just two field goals in 10 attempts in this pivotal victory. After beating Carthage at home 70-54 on January 13, two more road wins followed (80-65 at Millikin on January 17 and 60-59 at North Central on January 20). Then came the win at home against Illinois Wesleyan when Brusveen made the winning basket and an 86-74 destruction of Elmhurst on January 27. The month ended with a 71-56 win at North Park on January 31 and suddenly, Augustana was in the driver’s seat. A loss at Carthage (66-56) did not get February started on a good note but three straight wins, including an 80-77 triumph at Illinois Wesleyan on February 14, sealed the CCIW title. The Vikings suffered their first home loss of the season, after 13 straight wins at Carver, on Senior Night, by a score of 85-81 against North Central on February 17. Even in that game, Augustana showed some of the grit and mettle which characterized this entire season, coming from 17 points down in the final 4:37 to tie the game. Four free throws with no time on the clock allowed the Cardinals to escape with the win. That set up the CCIW tournament, which the Vikings hosted for the second consecutive year. With a first round exit from 2006 still stinging in the player’s memories, Augustana put together a pair of solid efforts. First, the Vikings defeated North Central 74-67 in a rematch of the stirring game played just a week earlier as four players were in double figures and Delp scored 15 points to lead the way. The next night saw the Vikings defeat Elmhurst 78-70 with Delp pouring in 19 points. There was some doubt as to whether the game would be played because a crippling ice storm swept through the Quad Cities and most of the area was without power. However, the lights stayed on in Carver and Augustana secured the NCAA automatic berth by overcoming an anemic 28 of 44 performance at the free throw line. In the NCAA tournament, the Vikings were stunned by Carroll 73-69 to end the season. This was a team without any real stars as Delp was the leading scorer with a 13.1 average while Dain Swetalla was also in double figures at 11.9. Defense was the key as the Vikings allowed just 64.0 points per game and opponents shot just .436 (646-1480) from the floor and .360 (168-467) from three point range. Wessels was a first team all-conference selection while Delp and Dain Swetalla were named to the second team and Giovanine was named as the CCIW’s “Coach of the Year” for the second straight season.

Senior shooting guard Rick Harrigan shot his way into stardom during the 2005-06 men’s basketball season and in the process took his Augustana teammates along for the ride. Harrigan overcame a career that had been pockmarked by injuries and setbacks and in the glorious winter of his final collegiate season he erased all those bad memories. Good ones now replace them as he led the Vikings to a 23-6 season and a myriad of honors. Picked second by the coaches in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin in the pre-season poll, head coach Grey Giovanine’s team used a key three game stretch at the end of January as a springboard to the league title. It started on January 21 with a home game against a North Central team that was 14-1 at the time and ranked 10th in the nation according to D3hoops.com. By the end of the evening Harrigan had notched 29 points and his team claimed an 85-79 victory. Two crucial road games loomed and the first was in Bloomington, Illinois against Illinois Wesleyan on Wednesday, January 25. The Titans had won the previous three CCIW titles and were the preseason favorite to do so once again. Ranked number one in the nation heading into January, Wesleyan was ranked fifth and Augustana seventh when the two teams squared off at the Shirk Center. Trailing by as many as 13 points in the second half, the Vikings clawed their way to a 57-54 win to go to 17-1 overall and 7-0 in the league.

Few people gave Augustana much of a chance heading into a road game at Elmhurst on Sunday, January 29. The Bluejays had been in and out of the NCAA Division III top 25 throughout the year and were 13-6 overall at game time. Showing the grit and resolve that would carry them time and again, the Vikings pulled out a 63-60 victory with Nate Swetalla tipping in a rebound of a Harrigan miss with just four seconds left. That made it 61-60 and Drew Wessels stole the inbound pass and made a pair of free throws to account for the final margin. Those eight days were a microcosm of the entire season. Giovanine’s team wasn’t given much chance by the experts but somehow, someway was able to come up with the winning formula. It all added up to a 23-6 overall record, the sixth highest victory total in the history of the program. The CCIW title, achieved with an 11-3 record, was the 10th for the Vikings and the NCAA Division III playoff berth was the 20th postseason appearance in school history. Harrigan was in the center of all of it as he led the team in scoring with 621 points in 28 games for an average of 22.2 points per game. He is now tied for third on Augustana’s single season scoring list with John Laing, who also scored 621 points in 1972-73. He nailed 65 of 151 three point field goal attempts and is fifth on the school’s single season list for three point field goals made and sixth in attempts. A first team all-conference selection and “Player of the Year” in the CCIW, Harrigan finished his career fourth in Augustana history in three point field goals (131), fourth in three point field goal attempts (328) and 10th in three point field goal percentage (.399). Harrigan and fellow senior Jay McAdams-Thornton both finished their respective careers as members of the 1,000 point club. Harrigan finished with 1,063 points and is tied with Paul Lauritzen (1950-54) for 17th while McAdams-Thornton ended with 1,050 points and is tied for 18th place with Chet Jacks (1975-79). Harrigan raked in the honors during the post season, winning second team NCAA Division III All-American honors from both D3hoops.com and the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC). He was the Midwest Region’s “Player of the Year” as well. The Vikings were riding high after defeating Carthage 87-80 behind Harrigan’s 37 points on February 4 in the Carver PE Center. That win put Augustana at 20-1 overall and 10-0 in the CCIW and the national polls that week had the Blue & Gold ranked third. A knee to Harrigan’s thigh in the first half of a game at Wheaton on February 8 nearly brought the whole season crashing down. The Thunder defeated the Vikings 64-60 and three nights later, on February 11, Millikin made it two in a row with a 73-71 win in Decatur. Harrigan did not play against Millikin and heading into a home showdown with Illinois Wesleyan on February 15 his status was uncertain. In a “game for the ages” the Vikings beat the Titans 93-85 before a packed house in the Carver PE Center. The game was tied 78-78 at the end of regulation and in the overtime a three point field goal by reserve Pat Brusveen put Augustana up to stay at 83-80 with just less than three minutes to play. Harrigan scored six points down the stretch and the Vikings clinched the outright CCIW title with the win, setting off a wild celebration after the final buzzer. After a first round loss in the CCIW tournament, Augustana still received a host spot in the NCAA Division III tournament and the Vikings responded with wins over Buena Vista (71-66) and Wisconsin-Stout (77-70) to advance to the “Sweet Sixteen”. In keeping with the theme of the season, adversity hit during the week preceding the NCAA tournament when Wessels, the starting point guard, was diagnosed with pneumonia the week before the regional. Without Wessels, the burden of running the team fell on the shoulders of sophomore Jordan Delp and he responded well. In the opening round of the NCAA tournament on March 3, Delp hit four three point field goals in the first half and ended the game with 13 points, five rebounds, six assists and one steal in 27 minutes as Augustana defeated Buena Vista 71-66 to advance to the championship the next night. The opponent for the regional title was Wisconsin-Stout, a team that had defeated the Vikings 70-66 back on December 29. This time around Harrigan broke free for 24 points, including an eight for eight performance at the free throw line as Augustana scored an impressive 77-70 victory. With the win over Stout, the Vikings advanced to the “Sweet 16” for the sectional, which was held at Lawrence University in Appleton, Wisconsin. Augustana drew Puget Sound and despite breaking out to an 18-11 lead early in the contest, struggled against the relentless pressure defense of the Loggers and fell 92-86. Harrigan ended his career with 21 points and McAdams-Thornton scored 10 as the two seniors pulled off their Viking uniforms for the final time. Despite the defeat, it was a season of unquestionable success as the Vikings went 23-6, the school’s highest victory total since a 24-7 campaign in 1992-93 ended with a second place finish in the NCAA Division III national tournament. Only five other teams in Augustana history have ever been able to accumulate more than 23 wins in a single season. Giovanine’s team won the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin with an 11-3 league mark and captured the title for the second time in the last four years and the 10th time in school history. The Vikings also appeared in the NCAA Division III playoffs for the first time since 1993. It was the 19th post-season appearance in school history. Giovanine was selected as the CCIW’s “Coach of the Year” and he was also the NCAA Division III “Coach of the Year” in Illinois as chosen by the Illinois Basketball Coaches Association. He has compiled quite a record at Augustana, with a mark of 120-59 (.670) since taking over as the head coach prior to the 1999-00 season. He is 63-35 (.643) in the CCIW during that same time. If you throw out his first season with the Vikings, which ended 10-15 overall and 4-10 in the league, he can point to a glossy record of 110-44 and 59-25 over the past six campaigns. His team won the conference championship in 2002-03 and again this year. The Vikings were second in the CCIW in 2001-02 and 2003-04 and fourth in 2001-02 and 2004-05. His teams have been outstanding at home, going 71-14 (.835) overall and 41-8 (.837) in the CCIW. Over the past six seasons the Vikings have been 64-9 overall (.877) and 37-5 (.881) in the league. This is the second time in the past four seasons that Giovanine has been honored by the IBCA as its NCAA Division III “Coach of the Year”. He won the same award in 2002-03 after his team went 20-5. Not surprisingly, Harrigan was selected as Augustana’s Most Valuable Player after the season ended. Wessels was the Most Valuable Defensive Player and sophomore Dain Swetalla was the winner of the Leading Rebounder award. Delp picked up junior varsity MVP honors.

What began as a season of question marks and uncertainty ended with a rousing stamp of success for head coach Grey Giovanine and the Augustana College men’s basketball program. Heading into 2004-05 Giovanine was looking at the unenviable task of replacing six seniors who had been members of his first full recruiting class. Led by the incomparable All-American Drew Carstens, those six players helped fashion a 70-30 record over four years and in the process won the school’s first College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin men’s basketball championship since 1992-93. When graduation claimed Carstens, Shaun Clements, Jim Thomas, Bill Goehrke, Brad Novak and Aaron Thompson, there were questions of how well the Vikings could survive. The answer came in resounding fashion as the senior class of Travis Hoyt, Joe Baumann, Matt Salisbury, John Sexton and Jordan Watson met every challenge. They helped lead Augustana to a 17-8 overall record and a 9-5 mark in the CCIW, good enough for fourth place in the league. Along the way they defeated the number one ranked NCAA Division III team in the nation in Illinois Wesleyan and also claimed victories over three others who were in the top 25 at some point during the year (Wheaton, Wartburg and North Central). Over the past four years this senior class, which certainly did not receive the attention nor the accolades of the preceding bunch, put together an identical 70-30 record overall and a 39-17 mark in the CCIW. They were also part of teams that finished second, first, second and fourth in the conference over that same time span. At home in the friendly confines of the Carver PE Center they were a superb 41-7 in all games and 24-4 in the league. All this left Giovanine ecstatic about the shape of his program. “I think this shows a lot about the state of the Augustana basketball program,” said Giovanine who is 97-53 overall and 52-32 in his six seasons at the helm. “We challenged our kids to continue with the success that had been laid before them and they more than answered the call. I am very proud of what this team accomplished this year.” In typical Giovanine-coached fashion, the Vikings used multiple rotations that saw nine different players start during the season. Ten players logged at least 10 minutes per game of playing time and seven averaged at least five points per game. It was, as Giovanine always stresses, an ultimate team accomplishment. There were some players who emerged as bonafide threats, most notably juniors Jay McAdams-Thornton and Rick Harrigan. McAdams-Thornton led the team in scoring with 373 points in 25 games for a 14.9 average while Harrigan was the only other player in double figures at 13.4 (335 points in 25 games). Sophomore point guard Drew Wessels came into his own and became a defensive terror. He led the team in steals with 63 and assists with 76 while scoring at an 8.0 clip. He also led the team in free throw percentage at .816 (71-87). The Vikings averaged 75.7 points per game and gave up just 68.1 while maintaining a rebounding edge of 35.8 to 33.4. McAdams-Thornton was named first team all-conference while Harrigan was a second team selection. McAdams-Thornton finished seventh in the conference in scoring with a 15.2 average in league games and he was fifth in rebounding at 6.7. Harrigan was fifth in the CCIW in scoring at 15.4, fourth in three point field goals made at 2.21 and sixth in steals at 1.29. Hoyt was fourth in field goal percentage at .573 (51-89) and second in blocked shots at 1.36. Wessels was fourth in assists with 4.14 in league games, second in steals at 2.57 and third in assist/turnover ratio at 1.87. He was also seventh in free throw percentage with a mark of .784 (29-37) in conference play. Grey Giovanine just finished his sixth year at Augustana. He has compiled a record of 97-53 in six years with the Vikings, including a mark of 52-32 in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin. He led the 2002-03 team to the CCIW championship with a 20-5 overall mark and a record of 11-3 in league play. In six years he does not have a losing record against any of the teams in the CCIW and over the past five seasons the Vikings have gone 87-38 overall and 48-22 in the conference. His teams have been 59-13 at home overall and 34-8 in the CCIW. In the past five years they are 52-7 overall and 30-5 in

conference while playing in the Carver PE Center. His overall record as a head coach, including a six year stint at Lamar University where he was 80-85, is now 177-138. When the final voting came in for the post-season awards, McAdams-Thornton was selected as the team’s Most Outstanding Player. Wessels was the Best Defensive Player and the Most Valuable Junior Varsity Player was Sam Johnson. McAdams-Thornton won the honor as the team’s best rebounder. The 2004-05 season began with the Vikings playing at NCAA Division I power Southern Illinois as part of the Las Vegas Invitational and although the Salukis scored an 83-59 victory, Giovanine thought his club competed well. Following the loss at Southern Illinois, Augustana ripped off wins against Beloit, St. Ambrose and Wartburg before stumbling on the road at Simpson. A home win against Coe and a home loss to Ripon left the Vikings at 4-3 midway through December. Four straight victories followed, including a crushing 82-64 win at Hope in the championship game of the Russ DeVette Invitational on December 30. McAdams-Thornton was named the MVP of the tournament and Hoyt and Wessels joined him on the all-tournament team. That gave the Blue & Gold an 8-3 record heading into conference play. The CCIW season started on a downer with an 86-76 loss at North Central on January 5 but the Vikings rebounded with home wins over Millikin and North Park. A 67-52 loss at Illinois Wesleyan on January 19 left them at 2-2 in the league but wins over Carthage and North Central put them at 4-2 heading into the last week in January. In a hard-fought contest the Vikings fell 62-59 at Wheaton on January 29 but came back to beat North Park 74-61 on the road. After suffering a rare home loss on February 9 to Elmhurst by a score of 86-79, Augustana hosted number one ranked Illinois Wesleyan on February 12. With the Carver PE Center packed, the Vikings knocked off the Titans 77-76 behind 23 points from Harrigan. Road wins at Millikin and Carthage followed and then came a critical 83-76 home victory over Wheaton on February 24. That left the Vikings at 17-7 heading into the final game of the season, a road affair at Elmhurst. Despite leading late in the contest, Augustana fell 68-67 in overtime to end the season 17-8 overall and 9-5 in the CCIW.

After dispatching of Carthage 81-69 on Saturday, February 28, the Augustana Vikings men’s basketball team finished its 2003-04 season with a 16-9 overall record and a 10-4 mark in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin. That was good enough for a second place finish in the league, two games behind champion Illinois Wesleyan. When the final buzzer sounded on Saturday evening in Kenosha, Wisconsin, six Augustana College seniors walked off the floor in Viking uniforms for the last time. It was a significant trek as these six players marked the first full recruiting class for head coach Grey Giovanine. Giovanine, who took over in the fall of 1999, last year watched as five seniors left the program as the first class to play four years under the energetic mentor. This bunch, which includes the following players: Drew Carstens, Jim Thomas, Shaun Clements, Bill

Goehrke, Brad Novak and Aaron Thompson came on board in the fall of 2000. They represent the first class to be fully recruited by Giovanine and they leave behind a tremendous legacy. In four years they combined for an overall record of 70-30 and were 39-17 in the CCIW. They won at least 16 games in each of the four years, going 17-8 in 2000-01, 17-8 in 2001-02, 20-5 in 2002-03 and 16-9 in 2003-04. In league play they were fourth, second, first and second respectively. Out of the collective success, there were also some individual successes that will be forever etched into the Augustana record books. Most noteworthy, of course, is that of Carstens, who will graduate in May as the second leading scorer in school history. Carstens totaled 1,813 points, which trails only the school record 2,035 of John Laing from 1969-73. He became the first player in Augustana history to lead the team in scoring for four straight years. He set new school records for single season free throw made (208) and attempted (249) as a sophomore in 2001-02 and he also owns school records for career free throws made (577) and attempted (720). He finished third on the Vikings career three point field goals made list with 156 and third in attempts with 429. The 476 points he scored this past year are tied for 16th on the single season scoring list.

Clements, who battled back from a serious knee injury suffered at the end of last year, became the 20th player in Augustana history to score over 1,000 career points and he finished with 1,021.

Thomas, the leader of the team as the point guard, finished his four years with 272 assists and he ended up eighth on both the career three point field goals made list (90) and attempts (243). Goehrke, who led the team in rebounding this year with a 6.7 average, leaves with the sixth highest field goal percentage in Augustana history. He made 206 of 363 attempts for a .567 percentage. Novak takes over the third spot on the school’s career three point field goal percentage list at .453 as he made 48 of 106. The six seniors did not suffer a losing record against any of the seven CCIW opponents, going 7-1 against North Park and North Central, 6-2 with Wheaton and Millikin, 5-3 vs. Elmhurst and 4-4 matched up against Carthage and Illinois Wesleyan. During their career they were an impressive 40-6 at home, including a 24-4 mark in CCIW games. Augustana led the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin in six team categories. The Vikings were first in scoring defense (66.3 ppg), scoring margin (11.8), rebounding (38.6), rebounding margin (5.4), turnover margin ( 1.71) and assist/turnover ratio (1.08). While no Augustana individual led any categories, the Vikings were well represented in the final statistical ranking. Carstens was fifth in scoring with a 17.9 per game average and Goehrke was seventh in rebounding at 6.2 per game. Clements was sixth in field goal percentage at .534 with Thomas finishing fourth in assists at 3.50 per game and Carstens sixth at 3.21. Joe Baumann was ninth in free throw percentage at .811 (30-37). Jordan Watson was fourth in three point field goal percentage with a mark of .457 (16-35) and Baumann was fifth at .452 (19-42). Goehrke was eighth in blocked shots with 0.71 per game. Carstens was second in steals with 2.07

per game and fifth in three point field goals per game with 1.79. Thomas was fourth in assist/turnover ratio at 1.96.

With a College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin men’s basketball title on the line, the Augustana Vikings of fourth year head coach Grey Giovanine were not about to let a little thing like a road trip into a hostile environment get in the way. On Saturday night, March 1, in a packed North Park University gymnasium, Giovanine’s team put on a clinic in terms of not letting a golden opportunity slip away. Augustana controlled the game throughout and pounded North Park into submission to the tune of a 93-78 Viking victory. With the win, Augustana ended a 10 year drought between championships in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin. The Vikings put the finishing touches on a 20-5 overall season and an 11-3 campaign in the league, tying for the top spot with Illinois Wesleyan and Carthage. It is the first three way tie in the CCIW’s 57 year history. The CCIW championship is the first for Augustana since Steve Yount’s 1992-93 team went 12-2 en route to a 24-7 record and a second place finish in the NCAA Division III Final Four. Illinois Wesleyan earned the CCIW’s automatic berth into the NCAA Division III tournament by virtue of the league’s tiebreaker. Illinois Wesleyan, Carthage and Augustana each split with the other during the season but against the fourth place team in the league, which was Wheaton, the Titans were 2-0 while Augustana and Carthage went 1-1. Neither Carthage, nor Augustana, received one of seven at-large berths into the 48 team field.

Not making the playoffs does not diminish at all the achievement of Giovanine’s club, which went into the final game of the season without two of its top four leading scorers. Starting center Shaun Clements was averaging 13.7 points and a team leading 6.5 rebounds per game when he suffered a season ending knee injury on February 12 in a 72-58 road win at Elmhurst. As if that wasn’t enough, Joe Baumann, the starter at small forward for the last five games and the team’s fourth leading scorer at 7.5 points per game, came up with an infection in his knee from a floor burn suffered in an 89-59 victory over Millikin on February 23. He was unable to play in the title-deciding game against North Park. Fortunately for the Vikings, there was nothing wrong with Drew Carstens. Carstens, who took just three shots in the blowout home victory against Millikin a week earlier, was unstoppable on Saturday night.

He burned North Park for 38 points with nine of 18 from the field, including four of nine from three point range, and 16 of 17 from the free throw line. He also grabbed five rebounds, had three assists and two steals. Carstens finished the season with 485 points in 25 games, an average of 19.4 points per game. The CCIW title is the ninth in men’s basketball history at Augustana. The other league titles owned by the Vikings came in 1963, 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, 1981, 1982 and 1983. It was a fitting end for five seniors who came on the scene in the fall of 1999, arriving at the same time that Giovanine did. The quintet of Mike Nee, Adam Rue, Brent Wills, Mike Passananti and Brian Hisel bought into the Giovanine system and provided valuable leadership throughout their collective careers. Nee and Passananti served as captains for 2002-03. After a 10-15 record (4-10 in the CCIW) in 1999-00, this group saw a marked improvement as sophomores with a 17-8 overall record and a 9-5 ledger in the league. As juniors they helped the Vikings to another 17-8/9-5 year and that set the tone for this season’s 20-5/11-3 mark. In four years they helped the Blue & Gold compile a record of 64-36 (.640) overall and 33-23 (.589) in the CCIW. One of their biggest legacies was the re-establishment of the Carver Physical Education Center as one of the toughest places in the conference to play. In their four years with the Vikings, the group of Nee, Rue, Wills, Passanant and Hisel helped compile an overall record of 38-8 (.826) and a CCIW record of 22-6 (.786). In the last three years Augustana was 31-3 (.911) overall and 18-3 (.857) in league play. Giovanine is in his fourth year at Augustana and in his first three seasons he compiled a record of 44-31. His first team was 10-15 overall and 4-10 in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin while his last two seasons put together back to back 17-8 overall records and 9-5 marks in league play. In the CCIW, Giovanine had posted a 22-20 record heading into the 2002-03. He came to the Vikings after a six year stint at Lamar University where he was 80-85 with the Cardinals but after going 33-48 his first three years, his last three teams had a record of 47-37. His overall collegiate record is 144-121 and at Augustana he is 64-36 overall and 33-23 in the CCIW.

For the first time since the 1993-94 season the Augustana Vikings men's basketball team has put together back-to-back seasons with at least 17 victories. It was also back in 1993-94 that the Blue & Gold finished as high as second in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin, something that third year head coach Grey Giovanine's plucky bunch of scrappers did this year.

The 2001-02 season was a success, no matter how you look at it. The Vikings finished the year with a 17-8 overall record and a 9-5 mark in the CCIW, good for a second place tie with Elmhurst.

There were two points during the year where even the optimistic and always upbeat Giovanine had to wonder where his team was headed. The first came on December 5 when the Vikings walked out of the Marycrest International Activities Center in Davenport, Iowa with a 90-80 loss to the Marycrest Marauding Eagles hanging over their heads. That defeat left Augustana with a 2-3 record and on the horizon was a home date with St. Ambrose, a club that held a three game winning streak in the highly competitive neighborhood rivalry. Add to that was the fact that the Viking defense had been almost non-existent during the first five games of the season, having given up 428 points for an average of 85.6 per contest.

An 83-68 win over St. Ambrose on December 8 put the Blue & Gold on what would eventually become a nine game winning streak. After beating Wheaton, ranked fourth in the NCAA Division III national poll at the time, on January 12 by a score of 85-71 the Vikings were 11-3 overall and a perfect 3-0 in the CCIW.

Then came blip number two on the radar screen when a three game stretch between January 16 and January 23 produced three losses by a total of seven points: at Millikin (76-78) on the 16th, at Elmhurst (83-87) on the 19th and a crushing last second home loss on the 23rd to Carthage, the number one ranked team in the nation, by a score of 64-63. After the defeat to Carthage, the Vikings were 11-6 overall and 3-3 in the league and facing a road trip to North Central.

With the season hanging in the balance the Vikings responded with an 80-45 crushing of the Cardinals and they wound up winning six of eight games down the stretch. The only losses were both on the road - 80-73 at Wheaton on January 31 and 84-70 at Carthage on the last night of the regular season, February 23.

For the second consecutive year Giovanine's team once again established the Roy J. Carver Center as one of the toughest places in the league to play. The Vikings were 11-1 at home this year after posting a 10-1 homecourt record a year ago, the best two year stretch since they went 27-2 in 1980-81 (14-1) and 1981-82 (13-1). Augustana has made the Carver Center its basketball home since the 1971-72 season and since that time has posted an overall record of 308-83 for a winning percentage of .787. In CCIW play the Vikings are 181-57 for a winning percentage of .761. The win over St. Ambrose this year was the 300th Augustana victory in the history of the building.

Sophomore Drew Carstens posted one of the most remarkable seasons in the history of Augustana College. Despite averaging just 11.0 field goal attempts per game, Carstens managed to score 506 points for an average of 21.1 points per game. Playing at the shooting guard position and standing just 6'2", and weighing in at 175 pounds, Carstens was almost impossible to stop down low. He made an absolute living at the free throw line, connecting on 208 of 249 charity tosses for a .835 shooting percentage.

His prowess at the free throw line allowed him to take down the two oldest school records on the books. His 208 free throws made eclipsed the old mark of 148 held by Steve Snow (1968-69) and the 249 attempts erased Paul Lauritzen's 1953-54 record of 207 from the books. In conference play Carstens made 135 of 155 free throws and broke the CCIW record of 126 set by Jim Peters of Elmhurst in 1969-70. It should be noted that Peters played when the CCIW had a 16 game season and Carstens broke his record in two less games.

Carstens moved into 12th place on Augustana's single season scoring list with his 506 points, just one behind the 507 put up by Dave Anderson in 1982-83. For his career he has scored a total of 852 points. He finished the season as the second leading scorer in the CCIW, averaging 20.5 points per game in league play, and just 0.4 points per game behind scoring champion Luke Kasten of Illinois Wesleyan. Kasten scored 293 points in 14 games while Carstens had 287 points in 14 games. Carstens led the CCIW in free throw percentage at .871 in league play (135-155) and he was 10th in assists with an average of 2.29 per game. He was 11th in steals (1.14 spg) and 11th in three point field goal percentage at .400 (24-60) while finishing fifth in three point field goals made per game at 1.71.

Carstens was a unanimous first team selection on the CCIW All-conference team. He moves up to the first team after winning second team honors following his freshman season. Carstens, a 6' 2", 175 pounder, was joined on the first team by Rob Garnes, Antoine McDaniel and Jason Wiertel of league champion Carthage and Luke Kasten of Illinois Wesleyan. McDaniel was selected as the winner of the Fred Young "Most Outstanding Player" award. All but Kasten were unanimous selections.

Carstens added to his honors in the post season when he was named to the D3hoops.com NCAA Division III All-American team in the middle of March. He was a fourth team selection and becomes the first Augustana men's basketball player to gain All-American honors since the 1992-93 season when both Aben Cooper and Kirk Anderson were selected off the Vikings team that finished second in the nation.

Viking junior Mike Nee, a 6-4, 195 pound forward, was named third team All-conference for the second straight year.

Nee was a steady contributor all season long for the Vikings. He averaged 10.8 points per game in CCIW play, good for 17th in the scoring race and he was sixth in the league in field goal percentage at .526 (61-116) and fourth in three point field goal percentage at .467 (14-30).

Besides Carstens, Augustana had two other individual leaders in the final CCIW statistics as center Adam Rue topped the league in blocked shots and point guard Jim Thomas led in assist/turnover ratio. Rue blocked 36 shots in 12 league games for an average of 3.00 per game and Thomas had 47 assists (3.4 per game) to 26 turnovers (1.9 per game) for a 1.81 ratio in 14 contests. Bill Goehrke was third in field goal percentage as he shot .592 (42-71) in 14 league games. Shaun Clements was right behind him at .567 (55-97) and Brad Novak was eighth in at .509 (58-114).

While Carstens was topping the league in free throw percentage, freshman Brian Allured was in fifth place at .821 (32-39). Goehrke was eight in rebounding (90 in 14 games for 6.4 per CCIW game) and Clements and Novak tied for ninth at 5.9 (83 in 14 games). Allured finished third in assists with 3.43 per game and Thomas was fourth with 3.36 per game. Thomas was eighth in steals with 1.21 per game. Nee was fourth in three point field goal percentage at .467 (14-30) and Novak had the fifth best mark at .441 (15-34) with Allured ninth at .419 (18-43).

As a team the Vikings finished first in scoring offense (80.2 per game), rebounding (39.1 per game), rebounding margin (+5.4) and assists (14.64 per game).

Giovanine just finished his third year at Augustana and has compiled a record of 44-31. His first team in 1999-2000 was 10-15 overall and 4-10 in the CCIW while his 2000-01 club went 17-8 overall and 9-5 in league play. This season his team went once again finished 17-8 overall and 9-5 in the conference, which was good enough for a second place finish. In his three seasons as coach Giovanine has posted a 22-20 record in CCIW play. He came to the Vikings after a six-year stint at Lamar University where he was 80-85 with the Cardinals but after going 33-48 his first three years, his last three teams had a record of 47-37. His overall college record is 124-116.

A year ago in his first season as the head coach of the Augustana Vikings men's basketball team Grey Giovanine watched as his team battled to a 10-15 overall record. When the 2000-01 campaign opened, Giovanine was hopeful that his squad had learned some tough lessons and that things would pay off. He could not have been more correct as his team, a year older and wiser, put together a 17-8 record, including a 9-5 mark in College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin action. Giovanine had his team in the hunt for the league title down to the last week before three straight losses in the last 10 days of the season put the Vikings in fourth place. It was a season filled with excitement from the very first weekend when the Blue & Gold kicked things off with a 69-54 victory over Muskingum in the Wabash Tournament. A 60-57 loss to Purdue-Calumet in the championship game did not dampen the optimism. One week after the Wabash Tournament, the Vikings hit the big time with a 76-71 victory over NCAA Division I opponent Western Illinois on November 25 in Macomb, Illinois. That game served as the coming out party for freshman guard Drew Carstens. Carstens, a highly regarded prospect, exploded for 23 points to lead the Vikings to victory. With the excitement of the win over the Leathernecks still fresh, Augustana then knocked off perennial NCAA Division III power Wisconsin-Platteville in the friendly confines of the Roy J. Carver Center by a score of 80-74 thanks in part to a 14 point, eight rebound effort from senior Zac Larson. The victory over Platteville was the home opener and it was the springboard to a 10-1 record on the Carver hardwood. The Vikings, with Carstens assuming the role of leading scorer and the rest of the team blending nicely between youth and veterans, surprised most of the experts in the CCIW. Carstens, a slasher who scored most of his points on drives to the basket, ended up leading the team in scoring with a 14.4 average. There was a stretch in the season between November 25 and February 14 when Augustana played 21 games and Carstens was the leading scorer in 15 of those. His best game was a 25 point performance against North Central on January 3 as the Vikings won a 69-66 overtime affair.

Carstens season was cut short by two games due to a knee injury suffered against North Park on February 17 but he still managed to be named to the second team of the CCIW all-conference team. Winning close games became a trademark of the Vikings as they won two overtime games in the conference and survived one wild ending on the road where a game tying basket by North Central was not allowed. Road losses at Illinois Wesleyan on January 10 and Elmhurst on January 24 left Giovanine's club with 12-5 overall record and a 4-2 mark in the CCIW. Following the loss to Elmhurst the Vikings won five straight games to force the conference race into an unexpected four team battle. First came a 65-63 win at North Central on January 27 when the Cardinals scored on a tip-in during a wild flurry in the game's waning moments. Officials ruled that the clock had not started in time and waved off the basket. Then came the second overtime victory of the season, this time at home against Wheaton on January 31 by a score of 89-88. Augustana survived this one despite the fact that Thunder guard Kevin Blomstrom dropped in a halfcourt length three pointer as time expired to force the overtime. Freshman center Shaun Clements hit a free throw with one second on the clock in overtime to account for the victory. Adam Talbot scored 24 points to lead the way in the win. After beating Wheaton, the Vikings came up with two huge home victories over Illinois Wesleyan on February 3 and Carthage on February 6. In the win over the Titans, five players scored in double figures and Talbot had 17 points and eight rebounds while a relentless defensive effort forced Illinois Wesleyan into 22 turnovers. Three days later the Carver Center was rocking again as sophomore Mike Nee buried three three-point field goals in the final 2:19 as the Vikings erased a seven point Carthage lead. The result was a 62-58 win over the number one ranked team in the country at the time. Nee led the way with 17 points. After winning three straight home games the Vikings beat Millikin in Decatur, Illinois on February 10 by a score of 76-72 as Carstens dropped in 23 points. Nee once again had the winning basket and Clements blocked a shot at the end of the game as the Big Blue was driving for the game tying score. The string was finally snapped at home on Valentine's Day as eventual league champion Elmhurst scored a 71-66 victory despite the fact that Augustana shot .577 (15 of 26) from the field in the second half and outrebounded the visitors by a huge 48-30 margin. A 70-61 loss at North Park on February 17 was further made miserable by Carstens season ending knee injury. The final game of the season was on February 24 in Kenosha, Wisconsin and without Carstens, few gave the Vikings a chance. The Redmen, ranked number one in the NCAA Division III polls most of the season, were still smarting from the loss in Rock Island back on February 6. A gutsy Augustana team battled to the very end before falling 68-67 when a last second tip-in failed to fall. Mike Nee was selected as the Vikings Most Valuable Player and the versatile swing man was a good choice. He averaged 8.5 points per game, fourth on the team, and pulled down 3.7 rebounds per game while leading the team in assists with 71 and posting 35 steals. He was also a third team all-conference selection. Adam Talbot was tabbed as the Best Defender after finishing second in the conference in steals. Talbot had a team high 55 steals on the year and was the second leading scorer with a 9.4 average. He shot .824 (70-85) from the free throw line and also averaged 4.8 rebounds per game. The Best Rebounder award went to Zac Larson who averaged 5.7 per game. He scored 8.4 points per game and shot a team leading .559 (71-127) from the field. Brian Hisel was tabbed as the Most Valuable Junior Varsity Player.

Before the 1999-2000 men's basketball season started, first year Augustana College head coach Grey Giovanine assured anyone who would listen that his Vikings would play hard and improve as the year went on. Giovanine knew that his team was going to be young and inexperienced and his goal from the beginning was lay the foundation for the future. By all accounts he did exactly that as the Vikings finished the year 10-15 overall and 4-10 in the College Conference of Illinois & Wisconsin. "We felt that the most important thing to be gained from this season was to establish a style of play and approach to practice and games that would serve us well in the years to come," said Giovanine. "We knew that we had some physical limitations but out players learned what we expected from them. We challenged them in practice and asked them to be mentally ready each time we took the court." An objective yearlong observer would have to admit that the energetic and intense first year head coach accomplished what he set out to do. Heading into the season the Vikings were severely limited by the fact that three starters graduated off a team which was 14-11 in 1998-99 which was Steve Yount's final campaign. Off a team which averaged 67.9 points per game, only 14.7 was on hand when Giovanine sent his team out to open the 1999-2000 season against defending NCAA Division III national champion Wisconsin-Platteville. The result in that first game was fairly predictable as the Pioneers had their way with the Vikings to the tune of an 80-54 shellacking. From that 26 point loss, however, Giovanine began to plant the seeds which is sure to grow a big winner in the Carver Physical Education Center before too long. After a loss to Mount St. Clare by a score of 82-68 in the home opener on December 1, the Vikings finally got their coach into the win column with a 73-61 triumph over Clarke College on December 4. After a loss to Beloit on December 8 left the record at 1-3, the Blue & Gold went on a little run with victories in four of the next six games. Heading into the conference season the Vikings were 4-5 but lost the first four league games and were 4-9 overall after a 71-50 loss at North Park on January 15. That may have been the low point of the season but it also may be where Giovanine's approach started to pay dividends. A four game winning streak ensued and by the end of the year Augustana had victories over Wheaton and Illinois Wesleyan, the teams which finished second and third respectively in the CCIW. "I was proud of the way our guys competed," said Giovanine. "They did everything we ever asked of them and I think that means a lot for the future of our program." Senior point guard John Benedetti was selected as the Most Outstanding Player at the annual team banquet which was held on March 9. Benedetti, a third team all-conference performer, led the Vikings in scoring with an 11.6 per game average. Benedetti scored a total of 290 points in 25 games and he led the team in assists with 99 and was second in steals with 34. A four-year letterwinner and two-year starter, Benedetti shot .768 (76 of 99) from the free throw line. During his career he shot .751 (157 of 209) from the free throw line. He winds up ranked eighth in Augustana history in career three point field goals made with 82 (82 of 246). His 246 attempts are the sixth highest career mark. Despite playing in just 13 games, freshman Tim Williams was tabbed as the team's best rebounder. He pulled down 85 for an average of 6.5 per game. Freshman Mike Nee was selected as the Best Defensive Player and Todd Moser was the junior varsity MVP.

In what is surely one of the most remarkable success stories in Augustana College athletics, a close knit band of six seniors helped lead the Vikings to within three points of a national championship. Kirk Anderson, Aben Cooper, Josh Thompson, Eric Rowell, Cardenal Collins and Brian Moe were members of a team which suffered through a 7-19 season in 1989-90 when that group was in its freshman year. Just three years later those six players were standing on the awards platform in the Sports Arena in Buffalo, New York after the Vikings dropped a tough 71-68 decision to Ohio Northern in the NCAA Division III title game. It was a remarkable turnaround for Augustana and it started when former Viking captain Steve Yount took over the reins prior to the 1990-91 season. When Anderson, Cooper, Thompson, Rowell, Collins and Moe were sophomores the team was 19-7 in Yount’s first year. The next year it was 18-8 and finally came the glorious 24-7 run in 1992-93 which included the school’s first College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin championship since 1982 and the first Final Four trip since the 1981 team placed second. Anderson, Cooper and Thompson were the top three leading scorers on the team and Moe,

Kirk Anderson Collins and Rowell came off the bench to provide invaluable experience and depth.

It was Anderson, the sweet shooting blonde who drew most of the attention and deservedly so. He was the CCIW “Player of the Year” and was a first team NCAA Division III All-America selection and the Most Outstanding Player in the Final Four. Anderson, who set a new Augustana school record with 734 points, had the green light to shoot as often as he liked in Yount’s free wheeling offense and he was not bashful about putting it up. He made 123 three pointers throughout the year and in the 100-86 victory over Wisconsin-Platteville which put the Vikings in the Final Four he scored 41 points - including 12 three pointers - to spearhead the Augustana attack. Cooper was a superb inside player who was both an NCAA Division III All-American and a GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America selection while Thompson was an effective passer who could shoot well from the perimeter and score on the inside. Junior Rick Kelley at point guard and sophomore Tom Wise at forward rounded out the starting lineup. ”I am so proud of what this team accomplished,” said Yount in the press room immediately following the title game loss. “These seniors have stuck with this program and been rewarded with a tremendous season. I am so very proud of them. They will be missed, no doubt .”

Only a last second shot prevented the Vikings and veteran coach Jim Borcherding from winning the NCAA Division III national championship on the Carver PE Center floor in front of 5,000 wild and vocal Augustana faithful. A freshman by the name of Leroy Witherspoon sank a 30 foot jumper as the horn sounded in regulation which allowed Potsdam State to tie the game at 57. It was a shocking end to a season and a game which looked as if the Vikings were finally going to give Borcherding his long sought after national title. Maxwell Artis, the splendid shooting guard for Augustana, hit two free throws with just four seconds remaining in the game which gave the Vikings a 57-55 lead and it looked like the title was secure. However, Witherspoon had a different idea and he took the inbound pass and hustled down the court, launching a shot just as the buzzer was sounding. In the overtime the Bears outscored the Vikings 10-8 to claim the national title. The Vikings finished the year with a tremendous 25-6 overall record - including a 15-1 mark in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin. Borcherding’s team was teeming with quickness as Artis was matched up in the backcourt with junior Billy Schneider, a feisty point guard who had 234 assists on the year. The forwards were smooth shooting junior Craig Brittnum and tenacious senior captain Bill Rapier - maybe the toughest competitor to ever wear an Augustana uniform. At center was junior Shane Price, a silent contributor who shot. 589 from the field in the season. Borcherding turned his team loose and the result was a team which averaged 80.1 points per game and shot .520 from the field. Led by the ball-hawking efforts of Artis and the pesky Schneider, the Vikings pressed constantly and the Carver PE Center rocked with

thunderous dunks from the high flying Brittnum, Rapier and Price. The Vikings were forced to travel in the first round of the playoffs and the site of the Midwest Regional was Beloit, Wisconsin. The first round opponent was North Park - a conference rival and the three time defending NCAA champion. Behind 17 points from Schneider, the only time all season he would led the team in scoring, Augustana handled North Park 81-68. The next night the opponent was the host Buccaneers who came into the game ranked number one in the nation. Brittnum scored 16 points and Price grabbed eight rebounds as the Vikings won 56-53. It was back home to Carver for the quarterfinal and Brittnum scored 22 points and Price had 16 rebounds as Augustana turned back a good Whittier team 69-67 with Schneider contributing a key steal late in the game to seal the victory. In the first round of the semifinal the Vikings came from 14 points down in the first half to defeat Otterbein 93-81 as Artis poured in 27 points. Brittnum led the team in scoring that year with a 17.1 points per game average while Artis (13.5), Rapier (12.9) and Price (12.9) were all in double figures. Rapier was an NCAA Division III All-America selection, capping a tremendous career for a guy who did not play high school basketball.

As was usually the case with Jim Borcherding teams, the Vikings caught fire down the stretch and the result was a third place finish in the NCAA Division III national tournament in a year when Augustana did not win the conference championship. Borcherding coaxed this team to a 21-7 record despite the fact that he didn’t have a big time scorer, relying instead on scoring balance and defense. Senior Terry Lawrence led the team in scoring with a 13.6 average while junior center Rick Kestner checked in a 12.7 and junior forward Greg Stivers was at 12.5. The Vikings were 13-5 following a 63-61 loss to Elmhurst on January 31. They would lose just twice

more for the rest of the year - once to CCIW champion Illinois Wesleyan which had future NBA star Jack Sikma and once to Scranton in the Final Four semifinals. Following the loss to Elmhurst the Vikings picked up a pair of crucial wins over Carroll (59-57) and Carthage (72-71) on the always tough “Winter Wonderland” trip to Wisconsin and then destroyed Elmhurst 75-56 to avenge the earlier defeat. A win over North Park by a point (63-62) preceded the loss to Illinois Wesleyan but the Blue & Gold finished the year with a 75-69 overtime win over Carthage. That propelled Borcherding’s team into post-season and in the first round the Vikings rode Terry Lawrence’s (26 points) hot shooting to an 83-77 win over Cornell. A 79-70 win over number one ranked Coe was fueled by 22 points from Kestner and Lawrence and 10 rebounds from junior Bill Swieton. In the first round of the Final Four the Vikings could not match up with the Scranton Royals and fell 76-65 despite 19 points from Lawrence. In the third place game, Augustana blasted Plattsburgh State 93-69 to put the cap on a fine season. Balance was the key all season long as Borcherding shuffled players around to find the right combination. Eight players averaged more than 4.5 points per game and seven different players led the team in scoring at some time during the season. Lawrence was the key down the stretch, leading the team in scoring eight times in the final 15 games. This team bounced back from adversity all season long, including the first conference loss in the Carver PE Center in the building’s history - actually the Vikings lost twice at home this year in the league.

He battled injuries for most of his senior year but that didn’t stop Bruce Hamming from turning in a tremendous performance. He led the Vikings to a 22-8 overall record and a third place finish in the first ever NCAA Division III national tournament. Hamming, a 6-11 giant with a sweet shooting touch, averaged 17.6 points and 11.0 rebounds per game as he was named to the Final Four all-tournament team and the NCAA Division III All-America squad. Although he was the focal point in the Augustana offense, Hamming was hardly the only weapon for Jim Borcherding as forwards Mike Michalski (12.4) and Tom Miler (11.8) joined him in double figures in scoring. The Vikings were a perfect 13-0 in the friendly confines of the Roy J. Carver PE Center but away from home they struggled to a 9-8 mark which was part of the reason they relinquished a four year stranglehold on the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin championship. After a 75-68 loss at Illinois Wesleyan late in the season which left the record at 15-7, wins over Wheaton (105-86), Millikin (78-74) and Carroll (89-77) - with Hamming pouring in 34 points and snaring 18 rebounds - pushed Augustana into the first ever NCAA Division III national playoffs. This was uncharted territory for Borcherding and his team which had been a fixture in the NAIA national tournament for the past three years but the Vikings made the most of their appearance into the inaugural NCAA Division III affair. In the first round of the tournament it was a solid Knox College team which was the opponent. Michalski and junior Dan Hillesland split the scoring honors with 16 points apiece and Michalski grabbed 13 rebounds as the Siwash fell 67-64.

The next game in the tournament provided one of the classic games in Augustana history as Tom Miler nailed a long jumper just as the buzzer sounded to nip Wartburg 62-61 in a game played in Waverly, Iowa. The Knights had scored with just seconds to play to take what seemed like a final 61-60 lead but the Vikings were able to get a time out. In the huddle Borcherding designed the play and Miler took a perfect pass from Al Weir, turned and shot and hit nothing but net which propelled the team into the next round. In a defensive struggle against Hamline the Vikings prevailed 49-42 as Hamming had 19 points and Michalski ripped down 14 rebounds. In the first round of the Final Four, eventual champion LeMoyne-Owen stopped Augustana by a score of 84-71 despite 18 points and 15 rebounds from Hamming. In the third place game Hamming scored 28 points and grabbed 15 rebounds to lead the way in a 78-71 win over Brockport State. Hamming ended the year as the second leading scorer in school history with 1,668 points and he was an NCAA Division III All-American and an Academic All-American. He was also named a “Top Five” student-athlete by the NCAA.

Sports Illustrated feature from January 22, 1973

The Swedes Are Meatballs No More Everybody used to feast on little Augustana, but now the Vikings are parceling out defeats for all by Harold Peterson Rock Island. It is one of those resonant names that ring in the American consciousness. Rock Island, that "mighty fine line." Notorious Rock Island, Ill., the Union equivalent of Andersonville, where many a Confederate soldier ended his war. Rock Island, where a maladroit young surveyor named Abraham Lincoln once worked. But the world has not heard a lot from Rock Island recently, ostentation being a kind of Lutheran sin eschewed by the gentle Swedes who largely settled the region. Together with Moline and East Moline on the Illinois side of the river and Davenport on the Iowa side, Rock Islanders, almost unnoticed, have been making half the world's tractors and farm implements and raising and shipping a very respectable proportion of its grain, beef and pork. Not glamour stuff, but handy if you like to eat. Least obtrusive of all is the city's little citadel of Lutheranism, Augustana College. For generations the pastors of rural churches throughout Illinois and Iowa sent the brightest of their flocks to the alma mater on the bluffs above the Mississippi. From thence they returned, quieter and more thoughtful than ever, to lead their useful, quiet lives. And unobtrusiveness was carried to the extreme of absolute invisibility by Augustana's athletic teams. In 70 years of basketball Augustana had exactly three seasons in which it won 20 games. The 1-13 and 3-14 and 7-17 seasons were far more common. The first time in many years that the college's antique Swedish victory bell was rung was when Augustana won a national championship in debate against the Ivy League. The entire student body met the team at the station and escorted the conquering heroes to the bell tower. In an area that raves about its high school basketball, Augustana would get mentioned in a tag-end newspaper paragraph after page upon page of high school stories. (Cont’d)

The Swedes Are Meatballs No More (Cont’d) The college, in several words, had become just plain old Augie, a nice reassuring neighbor but no more stimulating than the girl next door. But without Augustana itself being particularly aware of it, there had been considerable change in recent years. The Swedish farmers and shippers and implement-makers were growing modestly prosperous—and their sons were growing taller. It seemed logical to hire a new basketball coach and to build a huge new field house. The first the outside world really knew of this was last March when the resurrected Vikings of Augustana burst upon the Kansas City NAIA small-college tournament. It was like recess in a mead hall. The effect to one un-forewarned observer was of a whole team of 7-foot Max von Sydows suddenly running onto the floor in warmup pants, von Sydows who were quick, had fine moves and could shoot from outside. Behind them came half a dozen Liv Ullmanns and Ann-Margrets as cheerleaders—one even named Mary Moline—and from up in the stands came an enormous, awesome noise. A thousand demented Norsemen, as berserk as their ancestors ever had been, had a team to cheer about at last. The unheralded Vikings, who do include some Dutchmen and Germans among their cast, pushed No. 1-rated Eau Claire of Wisconsin to the edge of tournament extinction before bowing out, their first loss in 18 games. They started the 1972-73 season with a 10-game streak, then lost to second-ranked Sam Houston State by a point on a highly disputed call in the finals of the Quincy (Ill.) Holiday Tournament. Orchestrating all this has been a reddish blond, sometimes madman named Jim Borcherding, an Eric the Red reincarnated. Borcherding has two blond post men, John Laing and Bruce Hamming. Laing, 7 feet tall, and Hamming, almost that high, both tower academically, with nearly perfect grade averages. The two whipsaw top-grade competition unmercifully, either in a double stack power offense or a double low post 2-2-1. Among the rest, Chuck Menzer is only 6'6", but has a way of hitting 50% of his shots from beyond 20 feet. Mark Brooks, the other wingman, is also a good shot and plays fine defense. And the man who holds it all together is 6', slightly bald Drew Boster, who never seems to lose his composure. The Vikings even have that big-school luxury, a genuine supersub, Jim VanDeCasteele, who really does come into games and swish the 25-foot last-second shot in overtime. It is the front line, though, that makes the team go, particularly Laing. Only three days out of the infirmary, where he was recovering from mononucleosis, he outscored, outrebounded and out-blocked Eau Claire's ballyhooed Mike Ratliff. Laing has tremendous jumping ability, and for all his aggressive moves from the top of the lane, he is one of the gentlest men in basketball. Augustana got Laing in a typical coup. One day John's sister Jean wandered into Borcherding's office and told the coach that she had a brother who played basketball. Borcherding didn't pay much attention until she mentioned that John was 6'8" and still growing. Unfortunately, Laing led his team to the state tournament, thereby causing big-time coaches like Ralph Miller of Iowa to pursue him. But he still went to Augie; his sister sold him on its academic virtues. A sensation as a freshman—he came off the bench to score 22 points against Eau Claire—Hamming did not cost a mint to recruit, either. His father is a top-rated geography professor at Augustana. And Menzer came to Augie because his pastor said he should. He has scored over 1,000 points in three years. Brooks was almost ignored by recruiters. Like Menzer, he shoots almost 50% from outside and has scored well over 1,000 points. Boster was not even highly regarded by Augie, but he quietly does such essential things as getting 18 assists in one game. Augustana's ascension—it is presently ranked sixth among small colleges—coincides with the arrival of Borcherding, who was hired as a baseball coach. He was pressed into service as head basketball coach for a typical Augie reason: his predecessor left to study for a doctorate. A fervent disciple of Miller, he is a compelling Billy Sunday type. "Borch has an incredible sense of timing about people," says Dr. Thomas Tredway, dean of Augustana. "He knows precisely when people need to be kicked and when they need to be told aw——, it's just a game." The Vikings obey Borcherding's demands for team balance and unselfishness with such enthusiasm that they make Bill Bradley look like Pete Maravich. With relish they swallow rules that most coaches would blanch at: "Your squad membership is granted by the coach and can be revoked at any time.... We tolerate no insubordination. Address each member of the staff as 'Coach' or 'Mr.' You leave the squad if you fail once to show proper respect.... You will always be treated fairly here. If you think otherwise, come and see me, not anyone else.... No filth, profanity or dirty play will ever be tolerated.... The player with the ball is to create a shot for a teammate, not for himself." Etc., etc. Heaven forbid that an Augie player grandstand. The Vikings say they take this and love it because the martinet in Borcherding is only a micron deep. Whatever the reason, it works, and Augustana marches on through competition both thick and thin. Its most recent games were supposed to be competitive. First came Illinois Wesleyan, toughest of the Vikings' rivals in the College Conference of Illinois and Wisconsin. Before last year, Augie had lost 10 straight at Wesleyan. Fans poured in for the game at Bloomington, and space was so limited that some sat on the bench when the players left it. The Vikings won by 13. Elmhurst, the foe on Thursday, was co-leader in the conference and averaging 100.3 points per game. Augustana shot 56.8% from the floor and Borcherding put in the subs when Augie went 30 points ahead. North Park, an Evangelical Covenant school from Chicago, came to Rock Island Saturday, and the field house again was packed with worried rooters. No need to worry. Augustana won 78-59. Dean Tredway sat in his office high atop Zion Hill after the latest rout, watching the afternoon light dim over the International Harvester plant and the John Deere buildings in the valley. "There's a nervous guessing game in the valley called, 'When will the Big Ten steal Borcherding?' " he said. "Maybe it won't. Borch knows that basketball is not life, and he doesn't want to be trapped into winning, either. We all know that it will be like Bill Bradley's days at Princeton-nice, almost necessary, but over and done with finally. On the other hand, we also know that life is not all libraries and sheep grazing on green hills with J.S. Bach floating above it all. "We are not playing basketball or winning because other people think it is the thing to do. There was resentment when this glossy athletic building was built. Some people thought the money should have gone into classrooms. But now even our most conservative old Swedes believe this bunch of kids are as good representatives morally and humanistically as they could hope for. That is why, although we know there is a value in winning games and a value in not winning games, this year we'd like to experience the virtues of winning.

Jim Borcherding was not one who liked to rank teams, afraid that it was unfair to compare different styles of play. But while the enthusiastic and vocal Borcherding was not willing to say which of his teams was the best, it would be hard to argue that any team accomplished more than his 1972-73. This was a senior dominated team which came in with Borcherding and he guided this unit from a 15-9 squad as freshmen to a powerhouse 29-2 team as seniors. The center position was patrolled by John Laing who would leave Augustana as the school’s all-time leading scorer and as a senior the 6-11 Laing averaged 20.0 points per game. The other senior starters were Chuck Menzer, a terrific shooter, at forward and guards Drew Boster and Mark Brooks. Boster was a heady veteran who ran things from the point and to this day still holds the school assist records for both season and career while Brooks was an underrated player who finished his career fourth on Augustana’s all-time scoring list. Still another senior, Jim VanDeCasteele, played the role of the sixth man and he averaged 7.6 points per game. The lone starter who was not a senior was sophomore Bruce Hamming, a 6-11 giant who teamed with Laing to give Borcherding a two pronged inside attack which few teams could match up with. During the regular season only Sam Houston State was able to defeat the Vikings and that was by a score of 64-63 in the championship game of the Quincy Holiday Tournament. Augustana ran off 19 straight victories following the loss to Sam Houston with the only other loss in the season coming at the hands of Guilford College in the semi-finals of the NAIA national tournament. Led by Laing and his buddies, the team blitzed the CCIW with a perfect 16-0 season and the entire campus and most of the Quad City area got caught up in the excitement of this magical season. In the District 20 playoffs the Vikings blasted Quincy 87-59 and

McKendree 109-61 to earn a second trip to Kansas City and the NAIA national tournament where they were quarterfinal losers a year ago. The week long tournament in the now-defunct Municipal Auditorium was quite a spectacle as 32 teams converged to see who was the best small college team in the country. School was shut down and the downtown of Kansas City was teeming with Augustana fans. In the opening round the Vikings survived a scare against Hanover before pulling out a 66-65 win behind Laing’s 17 points. Menzer hit for 18 points in a 64-61 win over Defiance in the second round and in the quarterfinals Laing exploded for 27 points and 17 rebounds in a 63-46 pasting of Oklahoma Baptist. It was into the Final Four and the opponent was Guilford College with future NBA stars Lloyd Free and M.L. Carr. Despite 16 points from Menzer and 15 rebounds from Hamming, Augustana fell 77-69 before rallying the next night with a 96-93 win over Slippery Rock in the third place game as Hamming had 32 points.

World War II claimed the lives of over 400,000 American military personnel. Forty of those young men attended Augustana, including four who had been members of the Viking basketball program. One of them, George “Chili” Lenc, was quite possibly the greatest all-around athlete produced by the school in its first 100 years. Lenc arrived on the Augustana campus in the fall of 1935. 6-foot-2 and 182-pounds from nearby Silvis, Illinois, he was joined in the freshman class by a 5-foot-4, 148-pound dynamo from Rockford, Illinois by the name of Mike Tangorra. Over the next seven years, the two would become inexorably linked in friendship, in athletics and sadly, as casualties of the Second World War. Although better known for his achievements in football, Lenc earned four of his school-record 13 varsity letters as a member of Coach Shorty Almquist’s cagers, where his all-around athletic ability enabled him to play guard, forward or center. He was the team’s third-leading scorer with 126 points as a senior in 1938-39. He was also a four-time letter winner in track & field and held school records in the high jump and javelin at the time of his graduation. He added a letter in baseball when the sport was resurrected at Augustana after a nine-year hiatus in 1938. But the gridiron was his first love and where he left the biggest imprint. Playing right end and teaming with right halfback Tangorra in the old single wing, the two led the Viking gridders—who were also coached by Almquist—to an 18-14-2 record during their four years. They served as the team’s co-captains during their senior season in 1938. Lenc was a three-time all-conference selection and the Most Valuable Player in the Little 19 Conference in 1936. As a senior, he was elected to Colliers’ Little All-America team and selected to play in the 1939 College All-Star game in Chicago, which pitted the best collegiate players in the nation against the NFL champion New York Giants. At 6-foot-3 and 204 pounds, Lenc was selected by the Brooklyn Dodgers in the 1939 NFL draft. He appeared in two games for the Dodgers that year and is still one of just two Augustana players—along with Cincinnati Bengal great Ken Anderson—to appear in an NFL regular season game. Lenc enlisted in the army on his 24th birthday, March 17, 1941. A little more than a year later, on May 18, 1942, his pal Tangorra became the first confirmed Augustana graduate to lose his life in the war when the plane he was piloting crashed in the Pacific. Having achieved the rank of sergeant with the 123rd field artillery, Lenc requested a transfer to the air force. After stints in Montgomery, Alabama and Tucson, Arizona, he was completing his cadet training as a bombardier and navigator in Spokane, Washington when his bomber crashed near Pasco, Washington at 12:30 in the afternoon on November 16, 1942. Lenc and another member of the four-man crew were killed. George “Chili” Lenc was elected to Augustana’s “Tribe of Vikings” Hall of Fame in 1979. Frank Anderson (’38) of Chicago, a basketball and football teammate of both Lenc and Tangorra for three years, was killed just a month after Lenc when the B-26 he was piloting went down in New Guinea. First lieutenant Ted Stone, a Rock Islander who scored 25 points as freshman in the 1942-43 season, also lost his life when his C-47 troop transport crashed in Cairo, Egypt on March 9, 1945.

From The Augustana Observer of November 19, 1942

Another Name In Gold Everything about George Lenc was big; a big smile, a big heart, a big body. Those who remember him associate the memory with the figure that made one of the most brilliant athletic records Augie has ever known. But George was much more than an athlete. Time and again his ready wit made crowds of admiring fans love him as he appeared to acknowledge honor after honor paid him by his college, his home town, his friends. He had the regular ability of being an all-school student. Never confined to a clique, he was in the minds of his classmates a genuine Viking with a circle of friends as large as the enrollment. It had been Lenc's habit since his graduation in 1939 to revisit Augie several times a year. Frequently he was to be seen at the Augie-Ambrose contests, at Homecoming or just about the campus. And you never had any trouble spotting him. He stood head and shoulders above almost any crowd—and when you include those Lenc shoulders, you have a sizeable piece of anatomy. While George was playing pro football, he frequently wrote letters to many friends here. Sometimes he wrote to the OBSERVER and frequently those letters appeared in this very column. One of the most familiar campus pictures from those days that cling to memory like a vine was the inevitable Lenc-Tangorra combination. There would be George, large and rugged, striding along and smiling down—way down—at joking, chattering Tangorra who went chopping along rapidly and faking everything from doors to professors "out of position." But the co-captains of a fine 1938 Viking eleven set about preparing themselves for a game much bigger than any St. Ambrose encounter. Both have been snapped up by accident before they had a chance to hear the signals called.

From the Associated Press story on the 1944 College All-Star game: Evanston, Ill. (AP)- Fifty thousand football fans joined in a memorial tribute to the nation's college grid players in service at impressive half-time ceremonies at Wednesday night's college all star game in Dyche stadium. In a darkened field, the All Star Band of 200 directed by Ray Dvorak of the University of Wisconsin marched into the stadium, their caps and instruments bearing electric lights. As the lines formed in the shape of a giant star, Don Ameche, movie star, paid tribute to the grid stars in service, particularly to six former all stars who have lost their lives in service. They were Ensign Nile Kinnick of Iowa; Lt. Robert D. Moser of Texas A & M.; Lt. James W. McDonald of Illinois; Ensign George Schulte of Rockhurst; Aviation Cadet George Lenc of Augustana; and Lt. Thomas Melton of Purdue.
