One might say Austin Johnson took Crown by storm the other night. The junior had a career night in Points (20) and Rebounds (10) in leading the Pipers to their first win of the season, 74-67.

A year ago, Austin led the MIAC in Field Goal Percentage, finishing at a .636 per cent rate. The junior is off to an even better start this season and is currently hitting at a .706 clip (12-for-17).  He had seven points (3-3) in the opener against UW-Eau Claire but followed that up with his career high against Crown.

Austin and the Pipers have one last preseason test before entering MIAC play December 4. They face Northwestern at Hutton Arena on November 26 at 8:00 p.m.,
