Bison Sports Update: March 30th

It was a decent week for the Bison.

Women's Basketball
NDSU Women's basketball went to Minneapolis on Friday to play the Gophers in the Super 16 round of the WNIT. While the Bison kept with Minnesota for the majority of the game, they just couldn't keep a lead. NDSU was able to gain a 3 point lead with just over 2 minutes left in the game, but did not score another point and committed two costly turnovers to fall to the Gophers and end their season. 
It was a great year for the program though! 22 wins is the most in the Division I era, and made their first Summit League championship game! They also won a game in the WNIT, which is another first! There is a bright future for this program despite one of its best players in Heaven Hamling graduating in May. Great season ladies, and we look forward to next season!!
North Dakota State Women's Basketball finishes the season with a 13-3 record in Summit League play and a 22-13 overall record.
