Monday's MIAC wrap: Gusties get important win

Gustavus earned a win Monday that was as noteworthy as it was nondescript.

No Gustie reached double figures in the 59-53 victory over Carleton, which drops the Knights into fourth place in the standings. Gustavus moves into a tie for fifth place with Saint John's and puts Hamline's playoff hopes on death watch.

Six teams are still vying for playoff positioning, including five that could still earn a first-round bye in the MIAC playoffs.
