The drama on this night really didn't get going until the 5:55 slot of games where the Anoka-Ramsey Alumni team held off a strong challenge from the Golden Eagle Alumni team in a game that was tight from start to finish. The Gustavus Alumni team dug itself into a canyon; trailing 23-2 early on but rallied to make things interesting in the second half; getting to within single digits before falling to a very talented St. Cloud State team. The 6:50 slot of games saw the Hamline #2 team fighting off SMU in a nip and tuck affair while all of the 7:45 P.M. games were all very good games. The Graduates recorded a tough 66-60 victory over Jamestown while the multi-talented UST Purple team held off Team Sorella in a bruising affair. The best one in the 8:40 slot was Macalester's 35-33 win over the St. Kate's Purple team as the 'Cats had two chances late to send the contest into overtime but could not convert on their last two shot attempts. The two notable games in the 9:35 P.M. nightcaps were St. Olaf having to hold on for dear life to stave off a determined Mayville team by a final count of 41-37 and Hamline's exciting 43-42 overtime win over the UW-River Falls team that saw the sensational Jordan Sammons make some key plays and steals in critical moments to help her Piper squad get the victory.
With the 4th of July next week, the league will take the week off and resume on Wednesday (7-10-13).

5:00 P.M. Games
SMU - 46
Augsburg - 32
Royals - 48
St. Olaf - 20
5:55 P.M. Games

Mayville - 46
Macalester Basketball - 32
UST Grey - 59
Team Sorella - 36
Golden Eagle Alumni - 44
UW-River Falls - 32
Game of the night from my watch was the interesting clash between Anoka-Ramsey Alumni and the Gustavus #1 team as both squads battled to a standstill at the end of regulation tied at 41. A "3" from the left wing by Allison Ballstadt was the difference that allowed the former Anoka-Ramsey players a hard-fought overtime win. The UST Grey squad (along with the UST Purple squad) continues to look incredibly impressive and their romp over Team Sorella solidified that notion. Another good makeshift team to watch their is the Golden Eagle Alumni team which scored another win this week with their victory over UW-River Falls. All three of the 8:40 games looked to be very competitive by the time I had to leave last night right around 9:00 P.M. Only downer on this night was learning of the untimely passing of the great James Gandolfini. RIP.
Next week Wednesday (6-26-13) I'll be able to cover ALL of the games on tap that night as I'll have a nice four-day weekend in front of me (yee-hah!).

No overtimes last night but some very good games nonetheless. The UST Grey team appeared to be in firm control of their contest with the GAC Alumni team before the former Gusties mounted a serious comeback bid that fell short. Game of the night was easily the contest between Team Sorella and the Graduates. Team Sorella was up by as many as seven points late but The Graduates made some key plays down the stretch to help steal a "W" on this night. UST Purple team continues to impress; looking incredibly strong as did Concordia St. Paul in their win against Winona State. Actually, the Winona State group did triple duty last night for the most part; playing not only their two scheduled games but also helping out with another team that was short on players.

The two 5:55 P.M. games were both fun to watch as the St. Kate's Purple team was in a tight one with the St. Mary's squad and came out with a 41-40 victory. St. Olaf's Elise Raney snared an offensive rebound for a putback before the buzzer to give the Ole team a nail-biting win over the Anoka-Ramsey Alumni team. The 7:45 game between the Hamline #2 team and the GAC #1 team was a nip and tuck affair throughout with several lead changes before the Piper squad eeked out a 44-43 win. I had to leave at halftime of the 8:40 games but the game between the UST Purple squad and St. Cloud State was close after the Tommies had initially opened up a sizable lead. Macalester had battled back from being down 10-0 early in their game with St. Scholastica & Others and the Mayville vs NSU/SDSMT game was a close affair as well.

Game of the night, IMHO, was the match-up between Old Tymers and The Graduates. Leading late in the overtime session, The Graduates appeared to have things locked up but the former Minnesota State players somehow pulled a rabbit out of their hat to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat. The Macalester Basketball squad also had to go to an extra session to hold off the Anoka-Ramsey alumni team. Northwestern had to hold on for dear life after a furious comeback by the CSB team fell just short. The two UST teams looked very strong on this opening night.
Also, I only got to stay for the first half of the 8:40 games and watched the two St. Kate's squads in action; ironically against the two Hamline squads that were there as well. Both teams have a lot of new faces and the St. Kate's squads are incedibly athletic and talented; albeit very young.

Midtown YWCA Women's College Summer League
After much anticipation, the Midtwon YWCA Women's College Summer League gets underway tonight! The first two weeks feature games on both Tuesday and Wednesday nights before settling into the normal Wednesday night schedule (no games on 7-3-13 however).
There are some interesting teams in this year's version. St. Schololastica & Others is a new entrant along with another squad called Team Sorella (your guess is as good as mine on that one) along with the Misfits and Golden Eagle Alumni. Then there are also the squads that have been in this one before (and have done a lot of damage as well) such as The Graduates and the Old Tymers. UST, GAC, Hamline, and St. Kate's each have two squads in this year's league which is great to see. CSB, Northwestern, SMU, Augsburg and St. Olaf have teams in there as well. And the DII side is represented strongly as well with Winona State, NSU/SDSMT, and Concordia St. Paul. And let's not forget the community college side with Anoka-Ramsey; one of the perennial powerhouse programs in the country, in this mix as well. What's so neat about this league is that you often get match-ups that you just don't normally get to see which is always a treat. All in all, this should be very, very interesting to say the least.
Naturally, I'll be there to bring you the results of as many games as I can cover along with some interesting tidbits of each evening as well. This should be a blast!
