ST. PETER, Minn. — Mark Bergstrom had 14 points as the St. Olaf men's basketball team erased a nine-point halftime deficit and defeated Gustavus Adophus College 58-52 to gain a Minnesota Intercollegiate Athletic Conference Playoff berth for the first time since 2002-03.

Bergstrom had 11 of his team-best 14 in the second half. Jon Bain added 10 points and nine rebounds for the Oles (12-13, 9-11 MIAC) who, before Wednesday, hadn't won in St. Peter since Jan. 6, 1999.

Trevor Wittwer had 19 points, on 8-for-11 shooting, and eight rebounds for the Gusties (13-11, 11-8 MIAC) who led 23-9 with 8:11 to play in the first half and 30-21 at halftime.

St. Olaf charged back with a 14-5 run to tie the game at 41-41 and a 12-4 run in the final eight-plus minutes to seal the win.

St. Olaf, as the sixth seed, will play at third-seeded Bethel University at 7:30 p.m. on Monday.
