pick up your clubs in March and put them away at the end of May.”

VanMeeteran said chal-lenges can arise with a group of younger girls to stay motivated, but that the juniors plan to keep everyone motivated.

“This team is way bigger than the past,” she said.

“But we can still compete with other schools. Every year is different, but it’s still depends on listening to our coach, and being there for ad-vice for the other girls.”

With the weather impact-ing the readiness of the courses, the team has also been forced to either play rounds or work on short game.

“It would have been nice to hit balls instead of playing right away, but we’ve gotten some good in,” Sime said. “It will be interesting to see how

the first few competitions go.”

Yankton plays its first match against Brandon and Brookings today (Monday) in Brandon, and will play three meets at home this season, all close to mid-April.

“We’re going to stay competitive and build on our potential,” Sime said.

one a homerun from Taylor Bigandt — on seven hits and had five errors.

MMC’s Justin Miller, Ryan Buck, Nelson, Bryton Carlson, Derek Blumenstock, Collin Peterson and Hunter Hallock each scored before the fourth inning, with six runs coming just in the third inning.

“We threw the ball well today, and we did a good job bouncing back after that first game,” Bernatow said. “Now we’ll focus on getting our guys ready for the busy week ahead — especially getting them ready to go in for the guys who get banged up and run down from so much play-ing this time of year.”

MMC travels to Dakota State for a doubleheader on Tuesday.

SaturdayDOANE 3-4, MOUNT MARTY 0-5:

CRETE, Neb. – Mount Marty ended Do-ane’s 12-game win streak and 21-game Great Plains Athletic Conference win streak, dating back to the 2014 season, with a 5-4 victory in the nightcap of their GPAC baseball doubleheader on Sat-urday at Ledon Baseball Field in Crete, Nebraska. Doane (17-6, 1-1 GPAC) took the opener 3-0.

“Doane is right at the top, and any time we can them is a big win for us,” said MMC senior shortstop Derrik Nelson.

In the nightcap MMC broke open a 2-2 game with three runs in the top of the seventh, then held on for the victory.

Zac Hollenback doubled and singled, and Bryton Carlson had two hits for

MMC. Nelson, Hunter Hallock and Justin Miller added hits in the victory.

Liam Bedford had two hits and two RBI for Doane. Adam Touhey and Tyler Wilson also had two hits for the Tigers.

Dustin Haffeman allowed three runs over 6 2/3 innings to pick up the win. Josh Teichroew picked up the save. Austin Caspersen took the loss.

In the opener, Spencer Pugh tossed a complete game two-hitter in the seven-inning contest as the Tigers earned the victory.

Touhey had two of Doane’s seven hits. Carlson and Collin Peterson had hits for MMC.

Alex Mogensen went the distance in the loss, allowing two earned runs in six inning of work.

But relying on coach Tom Izzo’s trademark offensive re-bounding and team defense, Michigan State made the improbable run to the Final Four.

“I’d like to tell you that I thought five different times this year that we were good enough to get to a Final Four, but I’d be lying to you,” Izzo said, adding this was the

best of his seven regional final victories. The team didn’t want to be a group that didn’t make it, and that was a “battle cry” all year long, Izzo said.

UNBEATEN TEAMS: Kentucky is the first unde-feated team to reach the Final Four since UNLV in 1991. The Runnin’ Rebels lost in the national semifinals to Duke, which went on to win the first of consecutive champion-ships.

Indiana State was the last team to do it before UNLV, in

1979 when the Sycamores, led by Larry Bird, lost in the championship game to Michi-gan State and Magic Johnson.

BIG WINNERS: The combined record for the four teams of 133-18 ranks as the fifth-highest winning percent-age ever (.881). The 2008 Fi-nal Four of Kansas, Memphis, North Carolina and UCLA hold the record for the best winning percentage since the field expanded to 64 teams in 1985. The four entered with a 143-9 mark, a .941 winning percentage.

Final FourFROM PAGE 7

OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Lindsay Allen scored 23 points to help top-seeded Notre Dame defeat Baylor 77-68 in the Oklahoma City regional final Sunday and reach its fifth consecutive Final Four.

Allen, who scored a career-high 28 points in the regional semifinal win over Stanford on Friday, followed that by making 10 of 16 shots and dropping seven assists. She was named the Most Outstanding Player of the regional.

Michaela Mabrey scored 14 points and Jewell Loyd added 13 points for the Fighting Irish (35-2), who won their 21st straight game. Notre Dame will play South Carolina next Sunday.

Nina Davis had 26 points and 13 rebounds, Sune Agbuke had 12 points and 10 rebounds and Niya Johnson added 10 as-sists for second-seeded Baylor (33-4), which had hoped to

avenge an 88-69 loss to Notre Dame in last year’s regional final.

SOUTH CAROLINA 80, FLORIDA STATE 74: GREENSBORO, N.C. (AP) — Tiffany Mitchell scored seven of her 21 points in the final 2 minutes, and South Carolina earned its first Final Four berth by beating Florida State 80-74 on Sunday in the Greensboro Regional final.

Alaina Coates finished with 14 points, A’ja Wilson added 10 and Asia Dozier hit four free throws in the final 20 seconds for the top-seeded Gamecocks (34-2).

Playing from behind for most of the day, they shot 61 percent while rallying to win their seventh straight and keep the best season in school history going.

Next stop: Tampa, Florida, to face the Oklahoma City Regional winner on April 5.

Leticia Romero scored 13 points and Brittany Brown had 12 for the second-seeded Seminoles (32-5).

SaturdayUCONN 105, TEXAS 54: ALBANY, N.Y.

(AP) — Breanna Stewart had 31 points, 12 rebounds and seven assists to help UConn rout Texas 105-54 on Saturday, earning coach Geno Auriemma his 100th NCAA Tournament win.

Auriemma became the second coach to reach the century mark, joining Pat Summitt, who finished with 112 victories in her career. They are the only two coaches in men’s or women’s basketball to reach that milestone.

DAYTON 82, LOUISVILLE 66: ALBANY,

N.Y. (AP) — Andrea Hoover scored 26 points and seventh-seeded Dayton continued its improbable run.

Amber Deane added 15 points and Jodie Cornelie-Sigmundova had 12 and 11 rebounds for the Flyers, who won for the 11th time in the last 12 games.

Myisha Hines-Allen scored all 14 of her points in the second half to lead Louisville, which finishes its season at 27-7.

SPOKANE REGIONALMARYLAND 65, DUKE 55: SPOKANE,

Wash. (AP) — Shatori Walker-Kimbrough scored 18 of her 24 points in the second half and Laurin Mincy scored all 15 of her points in the first half for top-seeded Maryland in the regional semifinals.

Walker-Kimbrough took over the scoring load carried by Mincy as the Terrapins (33-2) reached the Elite Eight for the sixth time under coach Brenda Frese, taking down their former foe from the ACC in the process. The Terrapins had lost eight of their previous 10 games against Duke. But Maryland is 2-0 against the Blue Devils in the NCAA Tournament.

Elizabeth Williams led Duke (23-11) with 18 points and nine rebounds. Maryland will face Tennessee on Monday night for a trip to the Final Four in Tampa, Florida.

TENNESSEE 73, GONZAGA 69, OT: SPOKANE, Wash. (AP) — Cierra Burdick scored 22, including four late free throws for the winning points.

Burdick added 15 rebounds and Ariel Mas-sengale scored 16 points for Tennessee (30-5), which overcome poor shooting and a 17-point deficit for the win.
