The D2 Elite Eight contests were held yesterday in St. Joe's.

Seattle Pacific was undefeated and ranked #1, but yesterday the Falcons lost to Drury. Drury played tough pressure defense, forcing 25 turnovers. "I don't think we were ready for it," said Kristin Poe.

South Dakota State won the title last year. Yesterday Cal-Pa. sent the Jackrabbits home. The Vulcans were able to win despite All-American Sara McKinney's foul trouble.

Henderson State beat Quincy after Aesha Carter made a jumper with 6 seconds left to give the Reddies a one-point lead.

Merrimack played tough defense in the second half and propelled itself past Augusta State.

The semis are tonight.
