Championship Game
UST 44
Winona St. 43
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.

Midtown YWCA Womens College Summer League Playoff Results For Wednesday 8-1-12
Here are the results for the playoff games I was able to catch last night at the Midtown YWCA Womens College Summer League:
5:00 P.M. Games
UST 48
MSU Mavericks 21
Old Tymers 59
Hamline 56
5:55 P.M. Games
Jimmies 47
ARCC Alumni 42
Husky Nation 57
St. Olaf 30
6:50 P.M. Games
CSB 39
UW-River Falls Red 38
The Graduates 55
Macalester 43
7:45 P.M. Games
Winona St. 54
Sweet Sensation 46
Concordia St. Paul 64
ARCC Black 29
The game of the night (at least from the ones I was able to catch) easily was the one in the 6:50 P.M. slot between St. Bens and the UW-River Falls Red team. This was a tight game throughout and it LOOKED as if the UW-River Falls team had the deal sealed but a Falcon player missed the back end of a 1 and 1 FT situation to give the Blazer team one more chance. CSB's Tish Alexander, seemingly trapped in the corner and in duress, threw up a prayer with scant seconds left on the clock to hit nothing but net and gave the Blazers an improbable 39-38 victory. It was, well, WOW! In the 5:00 P.M. slot, the Old Tymers team had to make a late run to stave off defeat at the hands of a scrappy Hamline team in order to move on. UST, St. Cloud State, and Concordia St. Paul made quick work of their opponents in the games I was able to catch.
So, the 8:40 P.M. games had intriguing match-ups between UST and the Old Tymers in one game and the Jimmies vs Husky Nation in the other. The 9:35 P.M. games looked to be beauts as well featuring CSB vs the Graduates and Winona St. against Concordia St. Paul in the other. If anyone reading this knows the results of any of these games, please let me know. I'll be over at Midtown next week for the semifinals and Championship/Consolation games.

GAC Gold 28
ARCC Alumni 41
UW-River Falls Black 39
Game of the night (at least from the ones I was able to catch) was easily the tilt between Anoka-Ramsey Alumni and the UW-River Falls Black team. The ARCC Alumni appeared to be in control until the UWRF Black team made a late run and, in fact, had a chance to tie the game with scant seconds left before a key steal was made by Tamarra Shorter of the ARCC Alumni team. UST looked as strong as ever in pounding the GAC Gold team which had upset the Tommies a mere week ago. Wish I could have stayed for the games in both the 8:40 and 9:35 slots; am interested to find out who won the 9:35 game between St. Olaf and St. Mary's so if anyone was there that's reading this please let me know.
Will be over there again, of course, for the games on 8-1.

Was only able to get one of the scores of the three 8:40 P.M. games as I had gone out for a quick bite to eat with current St. Kate's Head Coach and former St. Kate's coach Tim Kjar. Had a GREAT time catching up with Tim!
Some VERY good games tonight....The Sweet Sensation team had to stave off a determined Winona State group in a game that was close from start to finish. Another very good one to watch tonight was The Graduates (which features the likes of Taylor Sheley formerly of Bethel and former Hamline standouts Stephanie Rice and Nikki Klink just to name a few) which had to use an extra session as well to hold off a scrappy UW-Superior team. It was a double-heartbreak for the Yellowjackets later on as they also a tough one to Bethany in the 8:40 slot. The GAC Gold team got a big boost in confidence as they knocked off their conference rivals from UST in the 6:50 slot. I also had the pleasure tonight of meeting new GAC Head Coach Laurie Kelly who is very excited to be back in the MIAC again.

Winona State 41 OT
Best games of the night were by far and away the two 7:45 games. The UW-River Falls Black team JUST missed sending their games against the ARCC Black team into overtime as a layup with scant time left on the clock refused to drop. The Minnesota State Mavericks did, however, go to an extra session against their rivals from Winona State which appeared to be in control of this contest but the Mavericks did what they had to do down the stretch to get the "W". IMHO, the best team in this summer league is the Old Tymers which is comprised of former Minnesota State Mankato players (includes the Johnson sisters Heather and Stacie among others) that has been running roughshod so far over other teams. Left midway through the 8:40 games - the Jimmies had a small lead on Concordia St. Paul and UST was in command of their game against the GAC Black team. The GAC Gold and SMU teams were in a tight one when I left.

The game of the night (at least from what I saw) was Concordia St. Paul's win over UST. The Tommie squad looked to be in firm control most of the way before the Golden Bears battled back. Concordia St. Paul's Carissa Wolyniec hit the game winner with just two seconds left that provided the margin of victory. UW-Superior was down double-digits to CSB before making a big run to tie the game in the second half only to run out of gas down the stretch. Both St. Cloud State and St. Olaf continue to do well and am impressed with SMU's team despite the Dorrellian/Neubian coaching staff they're stuck with down in Winona. No games next week for the 4th of July holiday but hope to catch all games the following week - if I can get a VBD at work the next day!

The Old Tymers were ANYTHING but old on this night as this team comprised of former MSU-Mankato players from their glorious championship run of a few years ago crushed the newbies headed for Anoka-Ramsey. I have no clue what their perimeter shooting percentage was but it had to be absolutely blistering as they simply did not miss. The Rene Sisters (Shannon and Jessica) may have finished up their college careers at Macalester but they're still going to be terrors in the summer leagues for many years to come as they shot down a good UW-River Falls team. The Gustavus Gold squad had only five players total but they fought valiantly in their match-up tonight against D2 opponent St. Cloud State.
