The Mid-Town YWCA Women's College Basketball Summer League for 2011 had the first round of the playoffs begin last night and here's what I was able to catch:
5:00 P.M. Games
Rams - 56
Augsburg - 36
UW-Eau Claire - 59
Hamline/St. Kate's/Bethany - 32
Anoka-Ramsey - 44
Northwestern - 39
5:55 P.M. Games
GAC Black - 52
CSB - 49
GAC Gold - 52
UST Freshmen - 46
GAC Alumni - 35
UW-Superior - 30
6:50 P.M. Games
UW-River Falls #1 - 32
Knight Train - 27
Northern St. - 57
Rams - 46
UW- Eau Claire - 61
SMU - 53 OT
7:45 P.M. Games
Anoka-Ramsey Gold - 50
GAC Black - 45 OT
Did not get the scores of the other two 7:45 games but Team Gray advanced with a victory over the GAC Gold squad and Sweet Sensation did likewise with a victory over Anoka-Ramsey. The 8:40 games had the Team Bundle, Minnesota State, and and Concordia St. Paul teams with sizable halftime leads over their opponents.
Some excellent games last night to be sure; the UW-Eau Claire team staved off defeat as they had to go to an extra OT session to hold off a stubborn SMU team. The 5:55 games were a Gustavus sweep but the GAC Black and GAC Alumni teams had to hold on for dear life coming down the stretch. The GAC Alumni team started out hot; leading by as much as 19-2 in the early going and held a seemingly safe lead in the second half. But the UW-Superior team to their credit made a furious late comeback that fell just short in the end. The game of the night, though, had to be the clash in the 7:45 slot between the GAC Black squad and the Anoka-Ramsey Gold team. WHAT a game this was to watch. Some great individual match-ups that you don't otherwise get to see and late game drama as well. The Anoka-Ramsey Gold team looked to have the game wrapped up late but GAC's Molly Geske buried a long "3" to force the extra session where the Anoka-Ramsey Gold squad led by Marie Hanson and Mallory Cramer was finally able to pull out the win.
