GRINNELL, Iowa - Two women's and one men's Midwest Conference (MWC) Tournament spot is still undecided as we head into the final day of games. Below are the team's in the hunt and the scenarioes to clinch.
Women

| Team |
Record |
Saturday - All games at 1:00 pm |

LFC @ Grinnell |
| T4. Knox College |
10-7 |
Knox vs. Ripon |
| T4. St. Norbert College |

SNC @ Monmouth |
Possible Scenarioes:
If Lake Forest wins, it is in the tournament as the No. 3 seed.
If all three win, Lake Forest is the No. 3 seed with a coin flip between Knox and St. Norbert determining the fourth and final spot.
If Lake Forest wins and Knox AND SNC both lose, LFC is the No. 3 seed and SNC wins tiebreaker for No. 4 seed over Knox for going 1-1 against Ripon while Knox went 0-2.
If Lake Forest loses, it can secure the #4 seed if either Knox or SNC loses.
If Lake Forest loses and Knox AND SNC win, LFC loses the tiebreaker for going 0-2 against Ripon and a coin flip will determine KC and SNC seeding.
If a coin flip is needed, it will be done via the Grinnell men's basketball webcast channel at 3:00 pm or as soon thereafter as we receive results from relevant contests. Grinnell webcast can be found
