Wednesday's MIAC recap: UST rips rival Johnnies

UST rips rival SJU before a standing-room-only crowd to move within a game of perfection. Joe Scott scored 18 points in the win, while Aaron Burtzel had 10 for the Johnnies.

Augsburg freshman Ben Flavin poured in a career-high 22 points to key a surprisingly easy 70-54 victory over Carleton. Zach Johnson led the Knights with 12 points and 11 rebounds.

Tim Madson ripped the net for 28 points to pace the Royals in their 87-72 victory over Gustavus. It's the first home win over the Gusties in 16 years.

St. Olaf defeated Macalester as the Scots finish the year winless for the first time in school history. Reserve Alfred Jaryan led the Oles with 17 points, five assists and five steals.

John Fraase dominated the paint to the tune of 31 points in a 77-64 win over Saint Mary's.

With just one game remaining in the regular season — except for Macalester, which is done — the fight for playoff positioning remains fierce. Bethel is in perfect position to claim second and the first-round bye, but the other four spots will come down to Saturday's finish.
