Here are the results of the two playoff games held on Monday night at the JCC Women's College Summer League:
5:30 P.M. Game
GAC Gold - 51
GAC Alumni - 47
This was a very close game from the opening tip with neither side able to establish any real advantage. The Gustie Alumni team held a precarious one-point lead at the half at 28-27 but you had to wonder when the Alumni team; with no reserves on the bench on this night, might run out of gas. Near the 7:00 mark of the second half, it happened as the young ones on GAC Gold team proceeded to go on a key 6-0 run that really changed the complexion of things. But the Alumni squad had one last gasp left in them in the final two minutes to get back to within a single possession but could never quite bring it all back; falling to the GAC Gold squad as they advance into next week's action.
6:25 P.M. Game
Northern State - 53
Uptown Dunk You Up - 47
I honestly had expected this one to be a runaway considering the lumps the Uptown Dunk You Up squad has absorbed this summer. So when the Northern State squad jumped out to an early lead I pretty much figured it might be a good time to start checking out things on my cell phone. So imagine my surprise when the Uptown Dunk You Up squad managed to fight their way right back into the thick of things and stay close with the bigger Northern State squad. Still, the Wolves managed to use a late run in the first half to build a 32-21 lead and they held a relatively safe cushion for much of the second half. The Uptown Dunk You Up squad had one last burst in them to throw a late scare into the heavily favored Northern State squad but the Wolves managed to hold on when it counted; getting the 53-47 victory.
So in next Monday night's finale, the GAC Gold team will go up against the GAC Alumni + A Few team while in the other semifinal at 6:20 the Northern State squad will face the GAC Black squad with the winners squaring off at 7:50 P.M. for the Championship game.
