D1 ACTION
Here is the StarTribune's report on last night's Gopher tap dance on Ohio State. I reported on this in the last posting.
Tonight will be the humdinger battle between Penn State, who stubbed their toe 3-0 yesterday in Madison, and the Gophs. First place is at stake and the meteoric rise in the polls could continue with another well played game.

D2 ACTION
NORTH CENTRAL
MSU Mankato swept North Dakota 26, 16, 31-29. MSU Mankato is currently #7 in the regional poll. Aileen Cahill of North Dakota reached the 1000 kill mark in the contest with the first swing. She is the sixth player from UND to get to that number.

NORTHERN SUN
Concordia St. Paul beat Northern State in four for their 58th straight NSIC win. It was a record crowd at Aberdeen.

MSU Moorhead had the brooms ready for Bemidji State

Wayne State also went four with Winona State. Also the Winona State Daily News has a story.

Upper Iowa also had a four game win with Mary. Neither team has a site that has game reports.

CROSSOVERS
South Dakota took care of UM Crookston in three.

D3 ACTION
RIVER FALLS TOURNEY
Eau Claire and River Falls each won twice in the UWRF Trick or Treat tourney. Bethel split their games.
