Bison Sports Update: March 13rd

NDSU Athletics had a good week.

Women's Basketball
NDSU Women's Basketball was automatically invited to the Women's NIT after they finished second in the Summit League regular season, and SDSU made the NCAA tournament. The Bison will start their run in the tournament on Friday at 9 PM CT when they travel to play Oregon. All WNIT games are hosted at the higher seed's arena. If the Bison beat the Ducks on Friday, they would play the winner of BYU-Rice on either Sunday, Monday, or Tuesday.

North Dakota State Women's Basketball is 12-6 in Summit League play, and 18-11 overall.

Softball
NDSU Softball travelled down I-94 for the Gopher Indoor Classic at US Bank Stadium in Minneapolis this weekend. They played five games over three days. They started on Friday with two games, they won the first one against Idaho State, 9-3. The Bison lost the second one to classic host Minnesota, 2-0. On Saturday, NDSU played one game against Drake which they won, 7-2. Then on Sunday they closed out the weekend with two wins, the first a 4-1 win against Idaho State, the second a comeback 4-2 win against Drake.

The action starts at 4 PM on Wednesday.
