WSU’s coach Eisner reaches 500 career wins (2/16/2021)
For the Warriors, Saturday’s win against Concordia-St. Paul was vital towards keeping their playoff hopes alive. While Head Coach Todd Eisner probably cares more about staying in the playoff hunt, it was a milestone day for him as well. With Saturday’s victory, Eisner has now reached 500 wins for his career, earned across 23 seasons in college basketball.
Eisner s 500 wins have come at Viterbo (79), Bellevue (225), Benedictine College (16), Midland (96), and Winona State (84). The ability to win at multiple coaching stints is a testament to Eisner s desire to succeed.
With the win today, Winona State moves to 6-5 overall (4-4 NSIC South) while Concordia St. Paul falls to 1-11 overall (0-8 NSIC South).
Augustana stops WSU’s winning streak (2/3/2021)
Having won their last three games in closely contested fashion, the Winona State University (WSU) men’s basketball team found itself in a similar situation on Sunday, Jan. 24, against Augustana University in the second of a two-game series in Sioux Falls.
Unfortunately for the Warriors, Sunday’s version did not follow the script of the previous three and Augustana dealt Winona State a 73-63 loss, stopping the WSU winning streak at three games.
The teams were tied 33-33 at the half, but foul trouble defensively and a lack of trips to the foul line on offense combined to derail the Warriors’ hope of sweep in Sioux Falls.
