Former Superior Spartan Lindsey Lindstrom tied a league tournament rebounding record with 19 (11 on offense) helping the Michigan Tech women's basketball team defeat Tiffin, Ohio 58-40 Wednesday night in the quarterfinals of the GLIAC tournament.
The 6-0 junior forward also had nine points and was a big factor in Tiffin's poor shooting day. Lindstrom's defense limited the Dragon's Mandy Jaeb, who entered with a 15.6 scoring average, to just four points in essence (Jaeb hit a 3-pointer with less than two minutes left with Lindstrom on the bench).
Tech, currently ranked No. 5 in the country in Division II women's basketball, hosts Hillsdale Saturday in a GLIAC semifinal game. The GLIAC winner will advance to the Midwest Regional then the Elite 8 in St. Joseph, Mo.
NOTE: Lindstrom tied the GLIAC Tournament record held by Tech's Katie Wysocky, who had 19 boards at Gannon on Mar. 2, 2007 ... Tech improved to 29-16 all-time in GLIAC Tournament games.
