WBB: Northern Athletics Collegiate Conference

[Captain_Joe08]

Wisconsin Lutheran tied with Gustavus at 33 after 3 quarters of play. Definitely a rock fight up in St. Peter tonight.

WLC loses in OT 62-49. GAC gets a game tying three with 17 seconds left and WLC went cold in the extra frame. Tough way to end the year but good to see them make the tournament despite a lot thinner margin for error.

Alverno will not have a team for Women's Basketball this year and are leaving the NACC after this season for the Coast 2 Coast.

Pretty impressive first three games for the Warriors as they beat Trine, Gustavus and Wartburg (all three receiving votes) to start out 3-0.

Probably a one bid league here. WLC has the best shot of the bunch for an at large but it's a long shot.

I think WLC has a good shot at an at-large bid if they win out in the regular season and lose once in the conference tournament.

WLC resurfaces back in the receiving votes category in this week's top 25 poll.
