Carthage 76, Augustana (Ill.) 60
KENOSHA, Wis. - The Carthage women's basketball team hosted the Augustana Vikings in Tarble Arena on Saturday afternoon. After the strongest start of the season, the Firebirds cruised to a 16 point victory over the Vikings.



Malia Green won the tip for the Firebirds and opened the game with a three. Carthage would jump to an early 11-4 lead with 7:17 to play in the first quarter, shooting a perfect 4-4 from three with two makes from Nora Ahram. The Firebirds ended the first quarter with an 8-2 run and led 27-17. 27 points was the highest amount the team had scored in the first quarter this season.

Cali Papez opened the second quarter with a layup for the Vikings, which Whitney Thompson answered with a three for the Firebirds. In a very defensive quarter, the Firebirds outscored the Vikings 13-6. Carthage went on a 10-2 in the final 5:19 in the half to take a 40-23 lead into the break.

Ahram opened the half for the Firebirds with a three, which ignited an 11-4 run with 5:14 to go to extend the lead to 51-27. Augustana started to respond as they went on a 9-2 run to cut the deficit to 53-36 with 3:02 to go in the third quarter. Carthage held a 60-38 lead heading into the fourth quarter.

Ahram opened the fourth quarter with a pair of free throws. Augustana started the quarter with a 10-4 run to cut the lead to 66-48 with 6:51 remaining. The Vikings outscored the Firebirds 22-16 in the fourth quarter, but it would not be enough as the Firebirds come away with the victory 76-60. Carthage shot 94% for free throws, going 15-16 in the game.
