No. 25 Augustana (3-0, 2-0 NSIC) goes on the road this week following two home games for a key NSIC matchup against defending national champion and No. 8 Minnesota Duluth (2-1, 2-0 NSIC). Kickoff is slated for 6 p.m. at Malosky Stadium.
An Augustana win would give the Vikings a 4-0 start, which they last accomplished in 2002. Augustana has gone 4-0 just 6 times in the program's history.
In addition, Augustana will be seeking its sixth-straight win dating back to last season. The last time the Vikings won six straight games came when they won the final three games in 2005 and the first three games of 2006.
