1/08/08 Women's NAthCon Finals:

Rockford 57, Aurora 52 (Regents had 9 steals and outrebounded the Spartans, per Rockford box score).

Edgewood 61, Loras 52 (A 15-2 Eagle scoring run with approx 8 minutes left in 2nd half was the difference in this one, per Edgewood press release)

Dominican 74, Benedictine 62  (Nothing available on either web-site, seems like the IL Eagles have either really been hot or really been cold of late.)

Concordia-WI 43, Lakeland 41 (A Pearl Wallace lay-up was the game winning hoop for the Falcons with 11 seconds left. Lakeland went into a scoring drought the last 10 1/2 minutes of the game- per Muskie press release).

WLC 80, Alverno 32  (Alverno scored the opening hoop, then saw WLC go on a 22-0 run early. Inferno only scored 9 first half points. We'll find out soon enough how good a motivator Inferno Coach Duckworth is after that kind of result.)

The Warriors get MSOE on the road next, and this poster doesn't figure that will be too easy a game. WLC will have to 1) slow Dana Guthrie down, 2) keep shooting well, 3) if there's a large pro-MSOE crowd at the game, take the crowd out of it early.

MSOE led by as many as 9 points, the Crusaders cut it to 3 at one point but couldn't get over the hump. Maranatha wasn't hitting from outside much the whole game).

Lakeland 61, Beloit 56 (A late Muskie scoring run was the difference here, per Lakeland press release).

(Long pause for effect. . . )

Lakeland 100, WLC 94  4 OT's (Warriors' Dillon missed a last-second 3-pointer in regulation--Lakeland's Dennewitz hit a tying jumper with 2 seconds left in the 1st OT, A Dillon lay-up forced OT 3, A Dillon jumper at the buzzer forced OT 4, and then a 7-1 run by Lakeland finally put this marathon to an end. WLC's Miller, Dillon and Lindert combined for 71 of the Warriors' points. Paulsen and Dennewitz had 30 and 23 points, respectively, for Lakeland. Warriors had 4 players foul out.
