In the 5:00 P.M. slot, the CSB team rolled to an easy win over the SMU team but the bigger surprise here was the GAC Black's somewhat unexpected win over Bemidji State.  Things didn't get any better or easier for the Bemidji State squad in the 5:55 P.M. slot either as they dropped a tough 47-43 decision to a Big Pipes team that is composed of mostly former or current Hamline players.  Another entertaining game in this time slot was the Golden Eagles narrow 45-42 win over the GAC Black team in a game that was close all the way.  The 6:50 P.M. games were noteworthy as well as the Royals (Bethel) team, down to their Mayville State opponents for most of the first half, righted the ship down the stretch before the halftime break and knotted the score at 32 just before the halftime buzzer when sophomore-to-be Kalli Zimmerman connected on an off-balance shot.  From then on, the Royals team could do nothing wrong as they opened up a lead and never looked back.  The tilt between the Minnesota Black Ice team and Concordia St. Paul was a physical affair as you can well imagine and, although the Concordia St. Paul squad hung tough throughout, the Minnesota Black Ice team was able to pull away towards the end for a 49-38 victory.  In the 7:45 P.M. slot, Northern State looked like they might blow away St. Olaf early on but the Oles managed to make things interesting as the game progressed and stayed within striking distance throughout much of the second half but could never quite get over the hump when it counted.  The GAC Alum + 1 squad; composed of former Gustavus players (Bri Radtke, Mollie Geske, Ava Perry, Colleen Ruane, Steph Comer, Mia Sandstrom, Liz Shay) plus 1 post player that I'm not familiar with, looked terrific at times in their relatively easy 50-36 win over Macalester.
