Golden Eagle Quick Hits At The Last Second Alexa Thielman (So., G, Buffalo, Minn./Health Science) hit the game-winning jumper with 13 seconds remaining to lead UMC past Concordia-St. Paul 59-58. The Golden Eagles have wins over Minot State University, Southwest Minnesota State University, Minnesota State University Moorhead, Winona State University, Upper Iowa University and Bemidji State University in the league so far this year. Thielman has been a clutch player for the Golden Eagles this season and is the most improve player for Minnesota Crookston, averaging around six points per game as a freshman and now averaging 15.0 points per game. Done At Home The Golden Eagles are now done playing at the friendly confines of Lysaker Gymnasium, and will turn their attention to the road as they close out the season away from home against St. Cloud State University and University of Minnesota Duluth. The Golden Eagles had a great showing at home this season, finishing with a 9-6 record overall and a 6-4 mark in conference play.
