Bethany Lutheran is helping to quickly close the gap between the UMAC and the MIAC. Some of you may remember that Bethany Lutheran's UMAC champions shocked the MIAC champion St. John's at Collegeville 102-92 in last March's NCAA tournament. Meanwhile, Bethany Lutheran's women finished 2nd in the UMAC. Both teams are expected to repeat in 1st and 2nd place, respectively, according to the UMAC coach's pre-season poll.
The men won at Carleton 70-61 last night as newcomer Cire Mayfield, a 6-0 freshman from St. Louis Park, poured in 24 points. Jared Milinkovich, a 6-3 sophomore guard from New Prague, added 11, and Daniel Gutzmer, a 6-2 senior guard from Jordan, added 10. The Carls finished 5th in the MIAC last year and are picked for 6th this year. They were led by Kent Hanson, a 6-5 junior forward from St. Paul, with 18 points and 9 boards.
The Bethany Lutheran website says that Bethany also won a scrimmage at Gustavus Adolphus last week, 76-70.
The Bethany Lutheran women opened at Macalester and won 69-55. Guards Abby Olson (5-6, sophomore, Montevideo) and Haley Sandin (5-7, senior, Princeton) led the way with 18 and 17 points, respectively. Kenzie Pytleski, a 6-1 soph who played for Granada-Huntley-East Chain, added 10. Holly Hull scored 23 for Macalester.
