Ashley is leading returning scorer for the Vikings this season, and looks to up her 10.5 points per game average from last year. Schulte finished the 2012-13 season with the third-most three-pointers made on the team with 46. Augustana opens the season up against Jamestown College on Nov. 16 at the Elmen Center.
