As you can tell by judging from the scores, some excellent, excellent fun games to take in tonight. The semifinal game between St. Thomas and St. Cloud State was a back and forth affair with the Tommies having to hold on for dear life coming down the stretch. The Huskies had chances and simply couldn't hit the big bucket when they most needed it. The consolation and championship games were just as good if not better. The Graduates, after dropping their semifinal to Winona State, surprised the St. Cloud State squad as they were in control for most of the contest. But the Huskies made a late charge only to fall just short - again. The Graduates were an intriguing group this year led by the likes of former Hamline players Stephanie Robinson, Steph Rice and Nikki Klinck along with former Bethel standout (and reigning MIAC MVP) Taylor Sheley. I like this St. Cloud State team as well and I think they have some good things ahead of them. In the Championship game, the Tommies got off to a quick start and appeared to be in control of things as the second half got underway. But the Warriors made their comeback bid and got neck and neck with the Tommies coming down the stretch. But, just like St. Cloud State, they couldn't find the big bucket when they most needed it in the closing seconds as the Tommies took home the Midtown YWCA Women's College Summer League championship.
