The top-ranked team in NAIA Division II, Morningside College, made it a sweep of the regular season and 2016 Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) Women’s Postseason Basketball Tournament defeating tenth-ranked Dakota Wesleyan, 80-59.

Madison Braun led the Mustangs with 24 points and was one of three Morningside players in double figures (Lehmkul-15, Ackerman-15). Dakota Wesleyan was paced by Erica Herrold with 22 and Ashely Bray with 13.

Both teams will advance to the NAIA National Basketball Tournament as Morningside was the GPAC regular season champion. Both the GPAC Postseason Tournament Champion (and runner-up if regular season champions wins) and regular season champion garner an automatic berth.
