St. Olaf over Gustavus Thursday (they beat them in the regular season, and I would like to see them advance)
St. Thomas over St. Kates (The last time these 2 teams played for whatever reason St. Thomas did not play their number 1 goalie, 3 time all conference, and former all american Lauren Bradel?) With her in the game I just do not see St. Kates being good enough to get by them. Concordia played St. Thomas last weekend and put up nearly 80 shots on Bradel and were only able to come out of their with 2 goals. She is very solid.

If my memory serves me right Concordia and St Kates were in a battle last year for a playoff spot that last weekend.
But the following week I remember saying YES Kates are playing Bethel and at that time they had Beth Spurrier and she was a very good goalie.
Well guess what, Kates beat them both games.
So I think it will come down to the whole team effort to decide this one.

Olaf beat the Gusties early in the year when the Gusties still hadn't gelled as a team. They also lost to Superior and tied River Falls early and came back and beat them both later in the year. I'll say gusties 5-2... if Olaf even gets by St. Mary's... which I don't think they will... Mary's 4-2 tonight with an empty netter. Then Gusties 4-1 on Thursday.
All of the SMU campus will be in shock if they score 4 goals. They haven't scored more than 2 goals in the past five games. Scored 4 against St. Ben's a month ago and 5 against Augsburg.
Guess it all depends who the Olaf goalie will be.

Looks like I was wrong on tonight's game. Olaf got it done when they needed to. I still gonna stand by my 5-2 prediction for Thursday. I will take St. Kates over St. Thomas on Thursday as well 3-1.
