Gustavus men get in (updated - again)

When the Gustavus Adolphus men's hockey team lost to St. Thomas in the MIAC tournament championship last week, there was some question as to whether the Gusties would get an at-large bid into the Division III national tournament.

Well, the Gusties are in, and they'll host the Tommies again on Wednesday in the first round of the NCAAs.

The game will take place at 7 p.m. at the Don Roberts Ice Rink. The winner will play the winner of St. Norbert and Adrian on Saturday at a site to be determined. See the rest of the bracket here.

Gustavus was the national runner-up a year ago.

The Gustavus women won their seventh straight MIAC tournament title on Saturday and will be in the national tourney. That field will be determined later this morning.

UPDATE(S): The Gustavus women will host Wisconsin-River Falls at 2 p.m. on Saturday for a shot at the D-III Frozen Four. The Gusties and the Falcons are the only teams from the west in the tournament. The winner will host the Frozen Four and play No. 1 Amherst, which got a bye into the semifinals.
