Saturday's MIAC recap: Let's get ready to rumble!

Hamline had one last chance to earn a victory against St. Thomas at Schoenecker Arena, but the Pipers couldn't stop destiny. The Tommies breezed to an easy victory, capping just the second 20-0 march through the MIAC season. Hamline finished 0-30 at Schoenecker Arena, which is being torn down this summer to make way for a new 52 million dollar facility.

The Johnnies rolled to a 71-60 win over the Gusties to secure the No. 3 seed in the MIAC playoffs. St. John's led 35-22 at halftime and was never truly threatened by Gustavus, despite big games from Jesse Van Sickle (20 points) and Sam Paulson (17 and 13). The Johnnies had five in double figures, led by Aaron Burtzel's 15.

Tim Madson moved into fourth on Bethel's all-time scoring list in the 64-51 victory over Carleton. He scored 20, while Mike Moberg posted 16 points and 11 boards. Zach Johnson scored 23 for the Knights, who have lost four of their last five games.

The Cobbers went to overtime to drop the Oles. Darren Olmscheid paced Concordia with 18 points. St. Olaf's Mark Torell hit a 3-pointer at the buzzer to force an extra session.

St. Mary's shocked Augsburg to end first-year coach Todd Landrum's debut on a positive note. Will Wright and Lukas Holland combined for 45 points in the win.
