In the 5:55 P.M. slot, the UST Purple squad was able to hold off a stern challenge from the Royals (Bethel) squad in what is shaping up to be a big rivalry in the MIAC while Northern State methodically took care of business against the CSB Blazers.  In the 5:55 P.M. slot, the UST Black squad was not as fortunate as their sister squad; the Purple team, as they fell to a very athletic and speedy Hoops, I Did It Again team.  The real interesting contest in this time slot, however, was the game that pitted the Phatties squad against the Golden Eagle Alumni team which has always done well in this summer league.  Things were nip and and tuck in this one from the opening tip-off but in the second half, the Phatties were able to use their big bodies to dominate the glass and they eventually pulled off a tough 41-35 victory......While the Warriors rolled to an easy 98-40 win over Anoka-Ramsey, the other game in the 6:50 P.M. slot was a doozy to be sure between the Augsburg #1 team and conference rival Hamline that saw the Auggies escape with a 38-36 thriller.  But there was no time for the Augsburg #1 team to celebrate as they had to go right back into action in the 7:45 P.M. slot; this time against NSIC powerhouse Concordia St. Paul.  It looked as if the Golden Bears initially might be able to build a bit of a lead but a resourceful Augsburg #1 team got a second wind and battled their way right back into the thick of things late.  But the Augsburg #1 team couldn't quite get over the hump when it counted and Concordia St. Paul survived with a 42-36 victory.
