The Augustana Vikings softball team had an amazing year and they fell just short of winning yet another championship.
On Saturday morning, Augie defeated Grand Valley State 13-2 to advance to the night game against one of the nations best as well.
Unfortunately, Augustana fell on Saturday 9-4 to West Texas A&M and were eliminated from the NCAA Championship in Denver, CO.
The Vikings fell in a 4-0 hole after the second inning but cut the deficit in half after the fourth inning.
But after trading runs in the fifth, West Texas A&M blew the game open with a four run sixth and Augie wasn t able to climb back.
Fifth-seeded Biola and sixth-seeded West Texas A&M will face off for the 2021 NCAA DII title. The Eagles (25-14) and Lady Buffs (41-11) each went 3-0 to earn their first berths into the Championship Series held at the Assembly Athletic Complex on the campus of Metropolitan State University of Denver.
