DIVISION II Notes:
All four of the top seeds advanced to the semi's. Central Oklahoma won in the quarterfinals on criteria over tenth-ranked Upper Iowa, 18-18 on most matches won. Central won six matches by decision while Upper Iowa had two decisions and two falls.

Semifinals:
#1-Notre Dame vs. #5-St. Cloud State
#4-Newberry vs. #3-Central Oklahoma 


DIVISION III Notes:
One upset and one serious scare in DII. 
Concordia took care of the #3 team in the country, Wabash, 22-13, in the quarters. Perennial power Augsburg survived a scare against Coe, but advanced, 16-15.

Semifinals
#1-Wartburg vs. #4-Wisconsin-Whitewater
#6-Concordia vs. #2-Augsburg


NAIA Notes:
The top bracket played out as planned with Grand View and Great Falls advancing to the semi's. But down below, it was chaos. Both the second and third seeds lost. #3-Missouri Valley fell to #7-Lindsey Wilson, 24-19, while #8-Cumberland took out #2-Montana State-Northern.

Semifinals
#1-Grand View vs. #4-Great Falls
#7-Lindsey Wilson vs. #8-Cumberland


JUNIOR COLLEGE Notes:
The two top seeds got through unscathed, but that wasn't the case for three and four seeds.
Fifth seeded Ellsworth knocked off Nassau, 22-14. And in the bottom bracket, Iowa Central came all the way from the 10th seed to make the semi's. First they beat Rochester, and then Harper, who had beaten 3rd seeded Lincoln in the first round.

Semifinals
#4-Clackamas vs. #5-Ellsworth
#24-Iowa Central vs. #2-Northwest


WOMEN's Notes:
The Top 3 seeds all cruised, losing just 1 match combined in the quarters. But fourth seeded Wayland Baptist got a scare when they edged Lindenwood, 21-19.
The semifinals will feature the Top 2 teams in NAIA and the Top 2 Teams in Division II.

Semifinals
#1-King vs. #4-Wayland Baptist
#2-Oklahoma City vs. #3-Simon Fraser
