The Pirates topped national No. 1 Whitman 68-65, sending the Missionairies into the at-large pool where they will certainly grab a bid. That leaves one fewer bid available for other teams that are on the NCAA tournament bubble.

Three other teams will enter the 2014 NCAA tournament wihout a loss. Thomas More defeated Washington & Jefferson 80-58 for its eighth consecutive PAC title. Sydney Moss flirted with a triple-double (29 points, 11 rebounds, seven assists), one night after setting a new Division III single game scoring record.

Hope outscored archrival Calvin 88-79 in the MIAA tournament final. Maura McAfee tallied 27 points and 13 rebounds and Brittany Berry scored 20 for Hope. Both teams shot over 50 percent in the game. FDU-Florham defeated DeSales 69-59 to complete its perfect run to the NCAA tournament. Rachel Groom had 16 points and eight rebounds for the Devils.

Messiah went on the road and beat top-seed Lebanon Valley 53-47 to extend its run of consecutive NCAA tournament appearances to 15. The Falcons hit 20 of their 25 free throw attempts and beat the Flying Dutchmen for the first time this season. Messiah entered the conference tournament as the three seed and outside the NCAA's final public regional rankings.

After York (Pa.) and Christopher Newport split their two regular season games, the Spartans won the rubber match for the CAC title, 66-53. Leading by three with 6:40 to play, York put the game away with a 12-0 run. Christopher Newport should be safe for an at-large bid despite the loss.

The MIAC regular season race was closely contested, but the tournament was not. St. Thomas finished its romp through the playoffs with a 71-58 win at St. Mary's (Minn.). The Tommies, who have won the last three MIAC tournaments, took all three games by double-digits margins.

Carthage held Illinois Wesleyan scoreless for the final 4:26 of the CCIW tournament final and pulled out a 63-59 victory. Michelle Wenzel scored 17 points for the Lady Reds in a game that had 19 lead changes and 14 ties.

Feels like the first time

Haverford, which lost both regular season games to Johns Hopkins, broke through in the Centennial Conference championship with a 66-56 victory. The Fords converted 18 Bluejays' turnovers into 23 points and outscored Johns Hopkins in the paint by 12.

Plattsburgh shook off a rough first half and rallied to beat Geneseo State for its first SUNYAC title, 57-52. The Cardinals trailed 27-15 at the break but responded with 42 second half points. "This has been a long time coming and a lot of alumnae had a big part in this in helping move this program forward," said Plattsburgh coach Cheryl Cole, who is in her 17th season with the Cardinals.

Sage scored the final six points of the Skyline Tournament to pull away from Mount St. Vincent, 61-55. Megan Bowman led the Gators with 24 points. Jessica Guy exploded for 24 points and 23 rebounds, and Spalding edged Webster for the SLIAC title, 60-58.

West: Pool C picture gets crowded

Claremont-Mudd-Scripps dumped Chapman 78-80 and knocked the Panthers into the crowded pool for at-large hopefuls. The Staggs shot 52 percent including 7-for-14 from three. Chapman will sit behind Whitman, St. Mary's, George Fox and potentially Concordia-Moorhead for at-large consideration in their own region.

UW-Oshkosh won't have to worry about its at-large chances. The Titans took care of UW-Superior 75-69 in the WIAC tournament final, with Katelyn Kuehl leading the way (18 points, 11 rebounds).

Coe scored the first two points of its game at Loras, but that was the Kohawks only lead. Loras scored the next 11 points and ran away with the IIAC title, 81-57. Four Duhawk starters scored double-figures, led by Katie Langmeier's 22 points.

Great Lakes: Capital takes OAC

Four seed Capital beat Ohio Northern 67-50 and emerged from the exciting OAC race with the conference's automatic bid. The Crusaders will return to the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2009. Capital popped someone's bubble, perhaps someone from its own conference. Baldwin Wallace, John Carroll and Ohio Northern will all need at-large bids to the tournament.

DePauw is back on track after last Saturday's loss to Ohio Wesleyan. The Tigers beat Denison 69-41 and held the Big Red to 32 percent shooting in the NCAC tournament final. The defending national champions enter the NCAA tournament with a 27-1 record.

Central: Warriors streak into tournament

Wisconsin Lutheran enters the NCAA tournament as one of the hottest teams in the country. After losing three of its first four games, the Warriors have won 23 straight, including an exciting 60-57 victory over Alverno in the NACC title game. Kristen Schulz paced Wisconsin Lutheran with 18 points and 18 rebounds.

St. Norbert shut down Montmouth for the final six minutes and pulled away for a 69-60 victory in the MWC final. The Green Knights will make their 11th NCAA tournament appearance.

Mid-Atlantic: Scranton catches 22

Scranton topped Moravian 74-61 for its third championship in the Landmark Conference and 22nd overall. Meredith Mesaris scored 26 for the Lady Royals who outrebounded the Greyhounds 52-33.

Mount Aloysius took an 8-1 lead to start the AMCC title game, but La Roche recovered and ran over the Mounties, 91-55. Sabrina McLinn hit five three pointers and scored 22 points off the Redhawks' bench. Cabrini held Immaculata to fewer field goals (20) than turnovers (21) and dominated the Mighty Macs 88-59 to secure the CSAC's automatic bid.

Northeast: Clock runs out on Cinderella Cadets

Norwich's Cinderella run to the NCAA tournament fell one game short. The eighth-seeded Cadets lost to St. Joseph's (Maine) 63-47 in the GNAC tournament final. The Monks captured their first GNAC title since joining the conference in 2007.

Rhode Island College fended off Southern Maine 64-59 for the Little East Conference crown. The Huskies made a late three-pointer to pull within one point, but senior Stephanie Prusko answered with a three for the Anchorwomen.

Jenna Williamson went the distance for Bridgewater State and scored 27 points in the Bears' 73-66 win over Framingham State. Bridgewater State captures the MASCAC's automatic bid for the fourth consecutive year.

The University of New England is also becoming a repeat NCAA tournament participant. The Nor'easters held off Roger Williams 61-50 in the CCC championship game and head to the Big Dance for the fourth time in five seasons.

Castleton State can rest easy after blasting Colby-Sawyer 73-49 and securing the NAC's automatic bid. The Spartans entered the playoffs with a 22-3 record, but ranked 12th in the most recent regional ranking. Regis cruised past Elms 71-43 and into the NCAA tournament. The Pride won their two NECC tournament games by a combined 52 points.

East: Brewers hold off Saints

Vassar got a critical stop late in the Liberty League final and held off St. Lawrence, 64-60. The Brewers held a 60-58 lead with under a minute to play when Lauren Quattrocchi stole the ball for the Saints. She was fouled on her way to the rim, but the Brewers were under the limit. The Saints inbounded the ball but couldn't get a shot off, and the Brewers made their free throws to secure the victory.

Ithaca's Geena Brady scored 10 of her 15 points in the second half, and the Bombers defeated Stevens 63-51 for the Empire 8 title.
