PROGRAM OVERVIEW

North Dakota State's women's basketball program has established itself as one of the nation's most dominant teams this season, posting a 23-2 overall record with a pristine 8-0 conference mark in the Summit League. Scheels Center has become an imposing home venue, with the Bison claiming an 11-1 home record while posting an impressive 12-1 mark on the road—a rarity for most college programs that see performance disparities between settings. Coach Jory Collins has assembled a 13-player roster that's averaging 81.6 points per game while holding opponents to just 58.8, a 22.8-point differential that reflects complete control of games.

Located in Fargo and drawing from a student body of 11,952 at the university founded in 1890, the Bison compete in NCAA Division I-FCS under the Summit League banner during the winter season. Their defensive prowess has been the foundation of success—the 58.8 points-per-game average allowed ranks among the nation's stingiest. With three losses to overcome and eight conference wins already banked, NDSU's women's basketball team has validated the investment in Collins's coaching tenure through both the balance of wins away from home and the consistency of floor performance.
