Wednesday's MIAC recap: The race heats up

Is this the worst, most exciting MIAC race ever?

The parity in the league has created a five-way tie for second with three games to play. Three different teams have been alone in second in the last two weeks, but been unable to maintain their position. Only St. Thomas has its spot secured, though it needed to rally from 14 down to defeat Bethel Wednesday night.

Saint John's tipped Augsburg and Gustavus drilled the Oles to move up in the standings. Bobby Fong's absence was keenly felt by St. Olaf, who managed just 16 points in the first half. The wins secure playoff spots and knock Hamline out of contention.

The Pipers blew their own chance with an 84-74 loss to Saint Mary's.

Cobber freshman Johnathon Molina posted career highs in points (11), rebounds (6) and assists (6) in his fourth career start to help Concordia defeat Macalester. The win moves Cobber coach Rich Glas to 499 career victories, while the Scots are now three games from a perfectly rotten season. They are now 0-23.

    Boy does Macalester long for the days of Adam Denny.
