Jordan Spencer played an all-round role in helping Augustana University secure its first outright Northern Sun Intercollegiate Championship since the 1977-78 season, on Friday.

The sophomore guard dished out nine assists to go with 12 points and six rebounds as the Vikings recorded a 98-77 victory against Upper Iowa to improve to 23-2 on the season, and 20-1 in NSIC play.

Augustana then closed out the regular season with a 66-55 success against Winona State with Spencer collecting a season-high 11 rebounds to go along with three points and four assists.

In 26 games, Spencer averaged 8.9 points, 6.9 assists and 3.6 rebounds per game having started all but the final game of the season.

Augustana earn the South Division No.1 seed following their record-breaking 21 wins in the conference, and host North Division No.8 seed Minnesota Crookston in the first round of the NSIC/Sanford Health Tournament.

Do you like our work?

We have a tiny favour to ask. In 2018 we set out to make Hoopsfix sustainable by building our relationship directly with our readers. Up until now, Hoopsfix has been creating editorials, videos and podcasts to provide sorely missing coverage of the British game and its distinct culture and community.

We have funded Hoopsfix with our freelance work creating basketball media, but sadly that means not only does it fall behind our client’s priorities, but some of those clients are the same organisations we need to report objectively on putting us in a conflicted position.

We want to devote more time to our mission of helping British basketball reach its potential, and produce even more content for the basketball community by making Hoopsfix a sustainable 100% independent business funded directly by our readers through Patreon.

If everyone who enjoys our content chose to support us, our future would be much more secure. For as little as $3 per month, you can support Hoopsfix – and it only takes a minute.

We are tremendously honoured and humbled to have a community of people who value what we do, and we look forward to being at the forefront of the British game as it continues to evolve.
