The Bison had a decent week this week!

Baseball
NDSU Baseball was down in Fayetteville, Arkansas to play in the NCAA Regional for the 2025 NCAA tournament this week. On Friday, the Bison played regional host Arkansas, who was the 3rd overall seed in the tournament. NDSU gave the Razorbacks a fair shake. In fact, NDSU had two leads in the early going. However, in the middle innings the Bison let in 4 runs that they just couldn't get back and fell to Arkansas 6-2. In the second game, the Bison relied on their pitching and found themselves their second-ever NCAA tournament victory over Kansas! On Sunday, the Bison matched up against Creighton - whom they beat in 1 out of 2 tries this season. NDSU found themselves down in the middle innings, letting the Bluejays score 10 runs. But the Bison fought their way back and were able to tie the game at 10 in the 8th inning. But Creighton was able to get a runner to score in the 9th inning to hand a heartbreaking end to the Bison season. 
These Bison fought hard this year! No matter what season you make the NCAA tournament as a team from Fargo is a great one! Well played this season guys!

North Dakota State Baseball finishes the season with a 21-34 overall record and a 13-15 record in the Summit League.

Thank you all for reading these updates every week, even though sometimes they can be a little more depressing then we would like them to be. This was another great year! It saw the Bison win more championships and reach new heights! The Bison football team won yet another FCS championship (their 10th and 18th overall), the Bison soccer team win the Summit League regular season championship, the Bison women's basketball team reach new heights yet again in the WNIT Elite 8, and of course the Bison baseball team reach their 3rd NCAA Tournament which featured their second ever win! Of course we cannot forget about the amazing track and field team that secured yet another women's indoor and outdoor title in the Summit! I look forward to next season and sharing it all with you folks! 
See you all back here in August, and until then:

​Go Bison!!!

It was a great week to be a Bison!!

Baseball
This week, the Bison baseball team went down to Omaha for the Summit League tournament. NDSU started off the week a little shaky in the offensive department, but pitching was spectacular in the tournament opener - earning the Bison a 1-0 victory over 3rd seeded Omaha. On Thursday, the Bison then was able to upset top-seeded Oral Roberts 4-0 to advance to the championship game for the first time since 2021! After several other games, NDSU rematched ORU in the finals. In game 1, the Bison fell in a close game, 3-1. However, in the final game - the Bison would find a way to pull through in the later innings and defeat the Golden Eagles for NDSU's 3rd Summit League tournament title! 
On Monday, the NCAA tournament field was announced and NDSU will be playing in the Lafayette Regional down at the University of Arkansas. They will be playing the Razorbacks in game 1. Since the regional is a double elimination tournament, they will also at least play one more game, and that will be against either Creighton or Kansas. The NCAA tournament will start on Friday at 2:00 PM CT on ESPN+. Any second game would take place on Saturday, and then the regional finals on Sunday and Monday.
North Dakota State Baseball is 13-15 in Summit League play and 20-32 overall on the season.

​Go Bison!!

This will be a fairly short update.

Baseball
NDSU Baseball was supposed to play a 3 game home series against Omaha this past week, but since there was a severe storm that went through Fargo - they were only able to play one game. The Bison won that game, 12-2, in 7 innings as they made quick work of the Mavericks. This would clinch NDSU as the 2 seed in the Summit League tournament.
This year's Summit League baseball tournament will be held at Tal Anderson Field in Omaha, Nebraska. The Bison will play 3rd seeded Omaha on Wednesday in the opening round at 6 PM. The tournament is double-elimination, so if they were to lose on Wednesday - they would play in the elimination bracket game on Thursday at 12 PM. If the Bison win their opening round game - they would head off to the semifinals on Thursday at 6 PM. If the Bison were to win the elimination or win the semifinal game, they would play on Friday at 4 PM. The championship game is scheduled for Saturday at 1 PM. 
North Dakota State Baseball is 13-15 in Summit League play and 17-31 overall on the season.

​Go Bison!

Yeah, not a great week.

Softball
NDSU Softball went down to Brookings this week for the 2025 Summit League softball tournament. They matched up as the 5 seed playing 4 seed North Dakota. The Bison would not perform well, as they wouldn't score a run in an 8-0 5 inning rule defeat that would end their season.
Despite how the season ended, it was still a good season, well done ladies!
North Dakota State Softball finishes the season 6-12 in Summit League play and 19-31 overall.

Baseball
NDSU Baseball started the week with a rare opportunity to play a professional team in the Fargo-Moorhead Redhawks of the American Association. The Bison impressed, as they fell to the Redhawks 5-4 at Newman Outdoor Field on Wednesday. Over the weekend, the Bison visited the league leading Tommies in St. Paul. NDSU wouldn't fare well at St. Thomas, as they would get swept. This would move the Bison down to a tie for 4th place in the standings. They could still climb to 3rd, which would get them the 2nd seed in the tournament due to St. Thomas being ineligible.
This week, the Bison will come home to host the final league series of the season against Omaha. That series will start on Thursday and run through Saturday. 
North Dakota State Baseball is 12-15 in Summit League play and 16-31 overall on the season.

NDSU will have the 5th seed in the tournament, due to St. Thomas (who finished tied for 1st) being ineligible. They will play 4th seeded North Dakota on Wednesday in the first round at 1 PM CT. If the Bison were to win their first game, they would move on to play top seeded Omaha on Thursday at 11 AM CT. After that point, they would either play at 4 PM the same day if they lose or they would play at 1 PM on Friday if they win. The title games are scheduled for 1 PM and 3:30 PM on Saturday.

This week, the Bison will wrap up the regular season schedule when they head down to St. Paul to play league-leading St. Thomas. That series will start with the doubleheader on Friday.

The Bison were able to rally in the final 3 minutes to defeat the Cougars and reach their first WNIT Great 8. On Monday, the Bison hosted Troy in the Great 8. It was a great game and the Bison were able to rally yet again in the final 2 minutes of the game to force overtime. Unfortunately, they ran out of gas in the extra frame, and fell to the Trojans, 88-97 to end their postseason run. 
Even though they ended the Summit League tournament on a dud, the Bison were still able to make this season a memorable one, another that will be remembered in Fargo for quite a while.
