MINNEAPOLIS - Jamie Erdahl had all of her team-best 21 points in the second half to lead St. Olaf to a 76-63 women's basketball win over Augsburg College on Saturday afternoon.

Erdahl went 4-for-7 from the arc and 7-for-11 at the line in the final 20 minutes after being shutout, on 0-for-8 shooting, in the first half.

Elyse Erickson added 20 points in only 21 minutes and benefited from a handful of Erdahl's nine assists in the game.

Augsburg was led by Serenae Levine's 23 points and 18 from Shannon Renne.

The Auggies closed a six-point halftime St. Olaf lead to five with 6:29 left in regulation. The Oles then went on a 11-0 run over the next three-plus minutes to earn the win, their second straight.
