From the frigid shores of Lake Bemidji, in the first semifinal:

MSU-Mankato 2, Augustana 0, half

MSU wins 4-0. Looks a little cold up there!

28 degrees and I would guess the wind is off the lake. I don't think I have been to the Chet many times when the wind hasn't been off the lake! LOL!

BSU up 1-0 with 28 minutes to go in the snow.

BSU up 1-0 with 28 minutes to go in the snow.

And that is the final, BSU moves onto the Championship on Sunday. Game time is 1 PM, I believe.

Yes, an initial post said 2 but then was corrected to 1. I wish that it wasn't such a far drive or I'd go. If it was 60 calm and sunny I'd go anyway.

Mankato 4, Bemidji 2, final.

Mavericks are the NSIC tournament champions.

Regionals at two sites- first round Thursday/Friday, second round Saturday/Sunday. Final would be the next week.

1 Central Missouri v Southwest OK 4 MSU Mankato v OK Baptist

2 Emporia St v 7 Northwest MO St 3 Bemidji v 6 Central Oklahoma

I remember when they only had six teams make it- Chad explained it. Some regions had seven this year- I think some only six but I was only paying much attention to our region.

In 2019, each region had only 6 teams. NCAA expanded tournament to 56 teams this season, with extra bids going to regions with the most teams.

I expected the Jennies would stay ahead of Bemidji since both lost in their conference tounament final. But I expected Emporia to jump over both since they have a better record than the Jennies and won both matches the two played.

After looking at the pdf put out by the NCAA, I'm not quite as surprised.

D2 & In-Region SOS: CentralMO .595, Emporia .539 & Bemidji .521
In-Region RPI: CentralMO .655, Emporia .624 & Bemidji .617
D2 Performance Indicator: CentralMO 21.429, Emporia 21.190 & Bemidji 20.450

5 of the Jennies non-con opponents made the NCAA tournament, 0 of Emporia's made the field.
