Augustan celebrated Senior Night as Kay Greene was honored as Augustana's first-ever senior. Greene joined the Vikings from Chowan University for the program's inaugural season in 2023.
 
Head Coach Kaelyn Cowan on Greene
"Kay has helped lead this program from the moment she stepped foot on campus. She shows qualities of hard work and dedication each and every day. We could not be prouder of her and her leadership, while helping to propel Augustana, quickly, as one of the nation's top NCAA Division II programs in the sport."
