FARGO – North Dakota State University held Omaha scoreless for the opening 6 minutes and 7 seconds of the game en route to a 66-55 win on Saturday.
Leading by 7 points heading to the fourth quarter, NDSU opened the final frame on a 15-0 run to put the game out of reach for the Mavericks.
“Playing back-to-back is hard especially with every team’s unique style of play,” said NDSU guard Heaven Hamling on going up against the same opponent twice in the same weekend. “We saw it against Western and Omaha has their zone that they play, so I think you just have to use through it and just stick to the gameplan and finds ways to score.”
