PLEASANT---The Bay College Norse women's basketball team had its 17-game winning streak come to an end Tuesday night, as the Mid Michigan Lakers, 90-55, in Mt. Pleasant. The Norse end up in a tie for first place in the MCCAA North Conference standings with Mid Michigan, and with each team winning once against each other, tiebreakers are needed to determine the conference champion. Mid-Michigan, with a better overall record (27-1 vs 21-8) gets the tiebreaker, and will host the state championship this weekend. Mid Michigan made that official Thursday night with a 40-point win over North Central Michigan in a make-up game, closing the regular season with a victory. Both Bay and Mid Michigan finish the MCCAA conference season wih 13-1 records. All is not lost for Bay, however.
