Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference

St. Thomas clinched at least a tie for the Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference championship with a 58-55 win over Carleton on Saturday. The title is UST’s fifth in a row, equaling the record set by Hamline (1931-36) and St. Thomas (1969-74).

Elsewhere, Hamline and Gustavus are each one win away from locking up berths in the MIAC Playoffs. Augsburg and Saint John’s remain in the thick of the chase for second place as well as playoff berths. With two weeks of action remaining, the jostling for the final playoff spots and seeding will likely go down to the final day.

Juniors Lukas Holland of Saint Mary’s and Carl Hipp of Hamline became the most recent MIAC players to go over the 1,000-point mark for their careers.
