HOUGHTON -- Now that the Findlay Oilers have arrived in Houghton, they'd like to stay a while. Thanks to a 54-51 win over Wisconsin-Parkside Saturday in the fourth quarterfinal of the NCAA Midwest Regional Tournament, they get at least another day in town, but that day will be spent playing top-seeded Michigan Tech Sunday. Fourth-year Findlay coach Kate Cummings has worked on mental toughness with her seniors since she took over the program and they needed it to overcome travel delays and rescheduled games. "Their desire to play another day, to fight through adversity, that's what you saw today," Cummings said. The Oilers left Detroit Thursday on a commercial flight for Chicago and were to fly from there into Houghton County Airport, only to be diverted to Traverse City because of fog. After returning to Chicago for the night, UF's Friday arrival in Houghton prompted retooling of the tournament schedule. Now, Findlay will play the Huskies Sunday at 4 p.m.
