St. Thomas vs. Wooster, Wash U vs. Amherst. Some all-stars and the second-leading scorer in Division III history round out a day where two trophies will be handed out, and at least one to a newcomer.
And in the first half, St. Thomas did its best Williams impression rolling up a lead of as many as 22 points before settling for a 43-26 halftime lead against Wooster. The Tommies went on to finish it off with a 78-54 win for the team's first national championship. Full story
