No. 3 Hope hit 13 three-pointers but did not need any of them as the Flying Dutch clobbered Trine, 90-40. Hope won its fourth MIAA championship in five years, but first outright since 2010. Hope shared the conference title with Calvin in 2011 and 2013.

"MIAA championships are special because once they're in the books, they're in indelible ink," Hope coach Brian Morehouse said. "It's not a co-championship, it's an outright championship and that makes it even more special."

Whitman is guaranteed at least a share of the NWC title after rolling Linfield, 80-53. The Missionairies' last conference championship was in 2004 when they shared it with Puget Sound. Their last outright title was 1988, the first in NWC history.

No. 11 UW-Whitewater went on an 11-0 run early in the second half to pull away from No. 17 UW-Oshkosh, 64-46. The Warhawks secured their second consecutive WIAC title and third in five seasons.  They will try to complete a perfect conference season when they host UW-Eau Claire next Saturday.

Texas Lutheran defeated Southwestern 70-56 to wrap up the SCAC championship and run its winning streak to 10 games. The SCAC holds its conference tournament a pre-determined site, so the Bulldogs will still have to travel to San Antonio where Trinity (Texas) hosts.

No. 5 Tufts finished a perfect run through the NESCAC in impressive fashion, as the Jumbos scored 54 first half points en route to a 92-55 win over No. 21 Bowdoin. It was the Jumbos' highest offensive output in more than five seasons.

Lauren McCall scored 25 points and helped No. 15 Williams rally for a 76-71 overtime win at Wesleyan. The Ephs will open the conference tournament next week at Trinity (Conn.).

No. 9 Carthage had a chance to win the CCIW title, but Illinois Wesleyan put the Lady Reds' celebration on hold by beating them, 69-57. Shelby Jackson had 21 points and eight rebounds for the Titans.

Salisbury built a 19-point second half lead against No. 10 York (Pa.) and topped the Spartans, 79-69. That result, coupled with No. 13 Christopher Newport's 72-51 win over Penn State-Harrisburg, puts the Captains back in the driver's seat for the top seed in the CAC playoffs.

Concordia-Moorhead edged No. 16 St. Thomas 60-57 to sweep the regular season series and bolster their own confernece title hopes. The Cobbers outscored the Tommies 21-0 from behind the arc. No. 20 St. Mary's (Minn.) needed overtime to get past Gustavus Adolphus 69-62 and move alone into first place in the MIAC.

Sidney Moss broke the single-season scoring record at Thomas More, with a lot more games to pad her lead. The fourth-ranked Saints thrashed Thiel, 108-52.

The Freedom Conference playoff field is set and so is the top seed. No. 8 FDU-Florham defeated DeSales 87-57 to secure the top spot in the four-team playoff field. Delaware Valley dropped Misericordia 68-48 and Eastern took care of Wilkes 61-47 to secure their playoff spots.

The Commonwealth Conference race remains tight after Lebanon Valley defeated Messiah 65-51. The Flying Dutch, Falcons and Elizabethtown are tied for first with 12-4 conference records.

Cabrini defeated Neumann 69-62 in overtime to take a two-game lead in the CSAC standings with two games to play. Geneseo State punished SUNYAC leader Buffalo State, 75-45.
