LOUISVILLE, Ky. – With an 8-0 start to NSIC play, the Augustana softball team has moved up to No. 12 in the week seven National Fastpitch Coaches Association Poll. The Vikings (28-5, 8-0 NSIC) have won nine straight and 20-of-21 games. 

Most recently, Augustana swept Southwest Minnesota State on the heels of a historical hitting performance. The Vikings tied the all-time program record with three triples, and Mary Pardo broke the single-game school record with two triples. She finished 4-4 with 3 RBI.

No. 12 Augustana continues their six-game road trip this weekend. The Vikings first visit Minnesota State on Saturday for a doubleheader (1 p.m. start) and close the weekend at Concordia St. Paul for a pair of games (12 p.m. start).

West Florida picked up nine first-place votes and holds the No. 1 spot for the second straight week.
