ST. PAUL, Minn. -- After 18 lead changes and seven tied scores, Macalester and Hamline battled until the final buzzer. The Pipers shot 59% in the second half, sparked by a 31-point performance by Chloe Graves to steal a 75-73 win over Macalester.

The Scots entered the half up by nine (37-28) after beating the Pipers on the boards and draining 15 of 17 free throw attempts in the first 20 minutes of action.
