Dear Auggie Basketball Alumni, Parents, and Friends,
This year brings with it plenty of excitement and high expectations as we return plenty of experience to go along with 95% of our scoring and 80% of our rebounding from last year’s team. All-Conference senior guard, Matt Carik is back for his 5th season and has begun his first semester of graduate school. Carik averaged 14.6 ppg last year and returns along with leading scorer Joe Palmer, who average 18.4 ppg and Jack Sorenson (14ppg).
We plan to represent Augsburg with a pledge to blue-collar hard work, sacrifice and a commitment to the entire Augsburg community. Through our determination, we remain dedicated to turning Augsburg Men’s Basketball into a nationally competitive power.
Over the past 12 seasons, our program has produced the second highest win total in the MIAC. This is a statistic we’re all very proud of, and one that we intend to continue to build upon. In order for us to achieve the goals we’ve set, we ask you to continue to support the Augsburg Men’s Basketball Family. Due to increased support in recent years, we’ve been able to travel to various locations around the United States, giving our student-athletes valuable experiences they will cherish for a lifetime. This season we are traveling to Florida for the Daytona Beach Shootout in December for two games.
A donation of $50 or more makes you a member of the Auggie Backcourt Club, while $150 or more sponsors a locker with an engraved plaque in our team room for the season. Contact Assistant Coach Charlie Scott (scottc@augsburg.edu) for more info. Thank you so much for your support and we hope to see you in Si Melby this season.
GO AUGGIES!
