HOUGHTON — Findlay made a rally late in the second half to cut a 15-point lead to just two, but the Michigan Tech women’s basketball team held on for a 68-57 victory that puts the No. 3-ranked Michigan Tech squad in its second straight NCAA Midwest Regional championship game. “In the NCAA Tournament, every game is going to be extremely tough,” Tech coach John Barnes said. “We knew Findlay was going to make a run and we were just hoping we could live through it and come through at the end with a win.” Last time the Huskies met Findlay, it was a double-overtime thriller with Katie Zimmerman knocking down two miracle shots to force extra time. This time the Huskies trailed for a total of just 28 seconds as they controlled play for most of the game to punch their ticket to Tuesday’s championship game, set for 6 p.m. against Drury, which defeated Northern Michigan 59-51 in Sunday’s other semifinal.
