NORTHFIELD, Minn. – Addy Huss scored 19 of her game-high 28 points in the second half as Carleton College held off a late charge from Augsburg University for a 74-72 victory at West Gym.
 
Huss, who matched the second-highest scoring output of her career, corralled a game-best 11 rebounds in notching her sixth double-double of the season. She also paced Carleton (7-12, 4-8 MIAC) with three assists and three steals.
 
The Knights received a 19-point effort from Audrey Whitney, while Maggie Winesett chipped in 11 points. Liesl McCallum accounted for nine points, eight rebounds, and a career-high six blocks, which is tied for third-best in recorded team history. Charlotte Henry matched her career high with seven points off the bench to round out the scoring for the hosts.
 
Carleton shot 38 percent overall and was 3-of-10 from beyond the arc, but the Knights took advantage of 27 fouls by Augsburg (5-14, 2-10 MIAC) to go 33-of-40 (.825) at the free throw line. That tied the third-highest made free throw total in recorded team history. Huss was a big part of that total as she went 14-of-15 at the charity stripe, tied for the third-most made free throws in program annals.
 
Augsburg led by as many as six points in the first quarter but entered halftime holding just a 34-33 advantage. It remained a one-possession game throughout the third quarter, with Whitney converting a driving layup in the closing moments to give Carleton a 49-47 edge entering the final stanza.
 
Carleton slowly widened its advantage to nine points on two occasions and still led by eight at 65-57 with less than three minutes remaining. Augsburg closed the gap by converting a pair of traditional 3-point plays and added a triple by Bear to pull within 66-64 with 0:51 still to play. The Knights were able to salt the game away at the line, going 8-of-10 in the final minute. All told, Carleton scored 21 of its 25 fourth-quarter points at the charity stripe.
 
The Auggies were led by Wakinyela Bear's 17-point performance off the bench, while Tyliah Frazier adding 12 points, and Lani Fonoti contributing 11 points. Augsburg shot 36.1 percent as a team and was 9-of-22 (.409) from 3-point range, and 11-of-13 (.846) at the charity stripe.
