The Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference has the top three teams in the latest NCAA regional rankings, and only two can reach the conference championship game. Those two are UW-Eau Claire and UW-Stevens Point after UW-Whitewater, ranked No. 4 in the nation and No. 1 in the region, was knocked off 79-71 in the semifinals on Thursday night by UW-Stevens Point.

&&g-boxl&&The result would seemingly all but guarantee the WIAC will get three teams into the Field of 63 for the NCAA Tournament.

UW-Eau Claire, No. 2 in the region but the top seed in the conference on a coin flip, had little trouble with fourth-seeded UW-Stout as Michelle Burns scored 27 points on 10-for-17 shooting and Heather Witt had 13 points and 10 assists. Haley Houghton tied her career high with 23 points in Stevens Point's win. Thursday's women's scores. &&teaser&&

Rachael Quiring's three-pointer with 19 seconds left broke a 51-51 tie and helped No. 11 Baldwin-Wallace hold on for a 56-51 lead against Capital in the Ohio Athletic Conference semifinals. Third-seeded Wilmington handled seventh-seeded Mount Union easily to reach the title game. The Old Dominion Athletic Conference tournament got underway Thursday, with top-seeded Virginia Wesleyan advancing easily, as did Randolph-Macon.

Stacie Roshon led all scorers with 24 points as Occidental advanced, along with La Verne, to the SCIAC championship. Albion will get a third crack at No. 1 Hope after each won their MIAA semifinals handily.
