COLLEGEVILLE, Minn. -- Tyler Schmidt (JR, Le Sueur, Minn./Le Sueur-Henderson HS) continued his three-point streak, hitting 5-of-10 from beyond the arc to lead the Augsburg College men's basketball team to a 65-49 victory over St. John's University in Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference action on Wednesday night at Sexton Arena.

Schmidt, who leads the MIAC's overall statistics in both three-pointers made and three-point percentage, has hit at least one three-pointer in 24 straight games dating to last season. He has had multiple three-pointers in 11 of his 15 games this season, including the last eight games in a row. Schmidt scored 24 points on 7-of-13 shooting from the floor to pace Augsburg (11-4 overall, 8-2 MIAC).

Andy Grzesiak-Grimm (SR, Wyoming, Minn./St. Francis HS) also had a big night for the Auggies, posting his fifth-consecutive double-double with 19 points and 15 rebounds. Grzesiak-Grimm posted his 600th career rebound in the contest, and currently sits tied for eighth all-time on the school's career rebounding list with 611.

With his performance, Grzesiak-Grimm also closed in another milestone, with 987 career points (10.6 per-game). He has the potential to become just the sixth player in Augsburg men's basketball history to score 1,000 points and pull down 600 rebounds in a career.

Cory Polta (SR, Spring Lake Park, Minn./Spring Lake Park HS) also had a solid night on the boards for Augsburg, pulling down 10 rebounds and adding eight points. Polta recorded his 500th career rebound in the contest and currently sits at 501 for his career.

St. John's (9-6 overall, 5-5 MIAC) was led by Aaron Barmore (SR, Bloomington, Minn./Jefferson HS), who finished with 10 points and two steals.

The Auggies dominated the glass, out-rebounding the Johnnies 47-14, including 18 offensive rebounds, and tallied a 20-5 advantage in second-chance points in the game. Augsburg capitilized on a slow start for the Johnnies and used a key 14-1 run in the second-half to put the game away after the Johnnies cut the Augsburg lead to 10, 40-30. The run was highlighted by three consecutive three-pointers by Schmidt. The Auggies cruised on to the 65-49 win.

For the game, Augsburg shot 44.9 percent (22-of-49) from the field, while the Johnnies connected on 40.0 percent (20-of-50) of their shots. Augsburg posted a 47-14 advantage on the boards and was able to hit 14-of-18 from the free-throw line, while St. John's was only able to convert on 5-of-8.

Augsburg returns to action on Monday (1/23), traveling to St. Paul to take on the Hamline University Pipers. Augsburg was swept by Hamline last season and will be looking to turn the tables and pick up a key MIAC win over the Pipers.
