• Mack Johnson’s 19-point night against Waldorf College is the most points scored by a USF true freshman in almost five seasons; 2008-09 GPAC Freshman of Year Skyler Bloch scored 22 points in USF’s 106-101 over-time loss to Hastings College on December 13, 2008.

• Sioux Falls currently ranks No. 2 in the NSIC in scoring offense. The Cougars are pouring in an average of 89.4 points per game; only MSU-Moorhead (92.0) is putting more points on the board.

• The Cougars are also the NSIC’s best at defending from deep; USF opponents are shooting a league-low 23.7% from three-point range.

• USF leads the NSIC with 51 made three-pointers.

• Thanks in large part to the emergence of sophomore forward Jordan Stotts, the Cougars rank second in the NSIC in defensive rebounding (29.8 per contest).

• Every player on Coach Johnson’s roster has logged playing time in USF’s first five contests, while all but one player has scored at least one point.

• The Cougar bench is outscoring the opponents’ reserves by more than 10 points per game (26.8-16.0).

The University of Sioux Falls women’s basketball team closed out its 2012-13 home slate in style with an 81-63 victory against Wayne State College. USF (12-12, 9-11 NSIC) continued its hot-and-cold shooting from the perimeter. Less than 12 hours removed from a 5-for-26 down-town performance versus Augustana College, the Cougars torched the Wildcats from the arc, dropping in 13 of 20 three-point attempts, including 8-for-11 in the second half. Wayne State (15-9, 11-9 NSIC) led 34-32 at the half but had no answer for the Cougars’ perimeter scoring, as Laura Johnson, Bailey Bouman and Alyssa Rushton combined to shoot 11-for-15 from three. Rushton earned top scoring honors. The senior finished with a game-high 22 points on 9-for-16 shooting. She also pulled down seven boards and had five assists. Senior reserve center Kelli Hoff—a player seldom at center stage that Traphagen called the most selfess player he’s ever coached—made her first career start on Senior Day and made the most of the opportunity. Hoff tied her career-high with 11 points and chipped in three rebounds and two blocks. Up by 20 at 81-61, Traphagen emp-tied his bench and the Cougars coasted to the victory. Laura Johnson finished with 16 points and 13 rebounds for her ninth double-double of the season. Bailey Bouman had 11 points and two blocks. The Cougars couldn’t miss from any spot on the Stewart Center court. USF shot 50 percent from the field, 65 percent from three and knocked down 10 of 11 free throws.

The University of Sioux Falls men’s basketball team suffered a 77-57 NSIC loss Saturday night to Wayne State College in the Cougars’ final home game of the season. Trailing by four points at the break, USF went cold and the Wildcats caught fire, as they shot a staggering 65 percent in the final period to record their 16th win of the year.

It was anyone’s game in the first half. USF didn’t get off to a great start. Four minutes into the game, they were down 9-2, but they countered with a 14-2 run capped by a steal and fast break Holland dunk to claim a 16-11 lead at the 11:24 mark of the first half.

The Wildcats began to heat up from deep and made their push. Led by Ryan Rolfzen, who accounted for a trio of first half 3-pointers himself, WSC converted five shots from 3-point range to close out the half and take a 32-28 lead into the break.

WSC couldn’t seem to miss in the second half. The combina-tion of Army Shelby, who posted 23 second half points and 15 baskets on 23 attempts by the visiting team meant a world of trouble for USF. USF climbed their way back into the game and trailed by just three points, 45-43, with 14:11 to play.

Then Shelby and WSC shut the Cougars down offensively and ran away with the game. They applied a 16-3 run to go up 65-49 with 5:32. USF would cut their deficit to as few as 13 points before falling by 20 points at home. A.J. Holland led USF with 14 points, finishing 6-of-11 from the field. He also went 2-of-4 from behind the arc. The game served as the final home contest for USF seniors Patrick Coughlin, Bill Freeman, A.J. Holland, David Maxwell and James Rader.

Page 5: USF vs. Wayne State & Augustana Program

Series History Augustana leads the all-time series against the Cou-gars, 26-3. USF last defeated the Vikings on Nov. 15, 2011, which snapped an 11-game losing streak to their crosstown rival.

Familiar FacesBefore joining the Cougars coaching staff in 2007, USF head coach Travis Traphagen served as the head assistant women’s basketball coach at Augus-tana College. In his six years at Augustana, Trapha-gen amassed a 111-69 record as an assistant coach. Before his departure, the Viking women had three consecutive 20-win seasons and during the 2006-07 basketball season, Traphagen helped the Vikings to a 25-7 record and a NCAA regional tournament appear-ance. Prior to joining Augustana, Traphagen served as a graduate assistant at Wayne State College in Wayne, Neb., where he earned a master’s degree in sports administration.

USF assistant head coach Chelsea DeVille averaged seven points, four rebounds and 3.7 assists per game in her collegiate career at Augustana. DeVille started every game her redshirt freshman season and earned North Central Conference Freshman of the Year recog-nition. DeVille battled a torn ACL as a junior but made a comeback to play her senior season. DeVille graduated from Augustana in 2009 with a degree in Elementary/Special Education.

2013-14 BASKETBALL GAMEDAY

A tough stretch of the season continued for the Sioux Falls women’s basketball team as the Cougars dropped an 83-58 Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference game to rival No. 23 Augustana College at the Stewart Center on Friday night.

The Cougars never led in the contest.The loss extended USF’s los-ing streak to three games and dropped its record to 11-12 overall and 8-11 in the NSIC.

Augustana (18-5, 14-5 NSIC) shot 55.8 percent from the field and 52.6 from beyond the arc.

The Vikings shut down USF’s most dangerous offensive weapon, as the Cougars finished just 5-for-26 (19.2 percent) from three-point range. The Vikings led at the break, 33-21.

The Cougars mounted a brief comeback to narrow the deficit to nine points at 36-27 with a Laura Johnson layup with 16:37 left in the game. But Vikings brushed aside the threat and would lead by as many as 25 thanks to shooting a blistering 69.6 percent in the second half.

Laura Johnson and Alyssa Rushton each finished with 11 points to lead the Cougars. Johnson secured a game-high 10 rebounds for her eighth double-double of the season. Jaicee Ulmer chipped in nine points off the bench. Teagan Molden and Mikenna Greathouse had eight points apiece.

The University of Sioux Falls used an explosive first half to top Augustana College 70-58 Friday night and snap a 11-game series losing streak in the first-ever matchup between the two schools at the Stewart Center.

Following a 14-point first half, the Cougars held off a late Viking’s push with clutch free throw shooting at the line, where they converted 21-of-25 attempts in the final period.

The most compelling stat of the game is that USF’s last field goal came at the 12:46 mark of the second half. Their final 18 points came at the stripe, where they went 18-of-22 to end the game. USF’s bench was also a major factor. The Cougars’ reserves outscored Augustana’s, 34-16.

The last time USF had defeated Augustana was during the 1994-95 season. With the win, USF has won three-straight and improved to 11-12, 7-12 in NSIC play. USF’s bench was also a major factor. The Cougars’ reserves outscored Augustana’s, 34-16.

James Rader led the way for USF, pouring in 19 points, on 8-of-12 shooting, and six rebounds. His total matched Cameron McCafferey for a game-high. Robert Goffney also had a solid night, especially at the charity stripe. He went 7-of-8 at the line and finished with 12 points.

David Maxwell was the third Cougar in double-digits. He was a perfect 9-of-9 at the stripe and tallied 11 points on the night. A.J. Holland added nine points and a game-high seven boards.

USF-Augustana: The Mayor’s Cup Challenge

Each year, the Augustana College and University of Sioux Falls athletic departments will compete head-to-head in sixteen (16) common, equally weighted, sports to determine which school and their fan base can claim the bragging rights for that year. The winning school will be awarded the Mayor’s Cup. By placing equal emphasis on all sports, the series helps to build community awareness for less publicized Olympic sports. The series focuses on the message that “Every Game Counts” and that the rivalry between the schools is a year-long affair. The competition will go beyond the fields of sport and into the classroom and community. A point will be awarded to the athletic department whose student-athletes achieve the higher grade point average. Additional points will be awarded to the department who garners the most support from their students, alumni and fans in a year-long community event. Two events will be held each year and 1 point will be awarded per event.

The University of Sioux Falls was awarded the final point of the 2012-13 Sioux Falls Mayor’s Cup Challenge while Augustana College walked away with the inaugural Mayor’s Cup Trophy as presented by First Dakota National Bank.

USF student-athletes boasted a 3.25 grade point average

to take the end-of-year academic point and create a final score of 13 to 6.0 in favor of the Vikings. USF defeated the Vikings on the gridiron 32-21 (2 OT) on October 20 for its first Mayor’s Cup point. The Cougars also secured single points for men’s golf, women’s indoor track and field, the first Mayor’s Cup blood drive and end-of-year student athlete grade point average. Augustana won 11 points amongst 16 common sports this past year, taking the head-to-head competitions versus the Cougars in women’s soccer and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, volleyball, men’s indoor track and field, women’s tennis, softball, women’s golf, and men’s and women’s outdoor track and field. Inclement weather forced a cancelation of the USF and Augustana softball contest and the Vikings were awarded the point based on final NSIC standings.

The Vikings also won the second Mayor’s Cup blood drive. The Cougars and Vikings split the home-and-home in men’s basketball and a baseball double-header to create the final margin. The competition for this season’s Mayor’s Cup started on September 21 when USF hosted Augustana in volleyball. The Cougars knocked off the Vikings in five sets, 25-27, 25-27, 25-23, 28-26, 15-13.
