Following a slow start in non-conference play, the Danes went 7-4-5 over their final 16 games, reaching the conference semifinals for the second straight season.

Dear Amy: My wife is a doctor who, at the beginning of the pandemic, needed to be extremely cautious about her exposure to COVID.We asked our adult daughter, “Sarah,” to limit the circle of people she had personal contact with so we could still have in-person visits with her and our grandchildren, while protecting my wife’s patients.One day we saw a picture of Sarah on social media having cocktails unmasked and indoors at the house of our mutual friend “Carrie.”We informed both Sarah and Carrie that Sarah now had to quarantine for two weeks.We called Carrie to ask her to stop these invitations so that we could see our daughter.
