mark in a 93-31 nonleague win over Illinois Institute of Technology
Thursday night.
The Vikings tallied the fifth highest number of points in the school's

while Young scored nine of her points as the Vikings raced to a 15-2 lead
in the opening 4:04 of the contest.
On Tuesday, Slattery scored a college career high of 28 points as NPU edged
visiting Millikin University 66-61.
Slattery was particularly effective midway through the second half. Leading
just 46-43, Slattery scored her team's next six points to key a 13-6 spurt.
She added two foul shots and a field goal in the final 2:40 and finished
12-for-20 in field goal tries with 12 rebounds and four steals.
Young added 16 points, including 12-of-14 foul shots for coach Jack
Surridge's team, which is now 5-6 overall, 1-1 in College Conference of
Illinois and Wisconsin play. The Vikings play a conference game against
host Illinois Wesleyan University in Bloomington at 2 p.m. Saturday.
