The Bison Sports Arena was con- structed in 1970 for a cost of $3.1 million to house the Department of

Athletics and the Department of Health, Physical Education and Recreation. With a seating capacity of up to 5,830 fans for college basketball games and wrestling matches, and 2,200 for indoor track meets, the Bison Sports Arena has hosted several premier events. The arena has been home to five NCAA Division II women’s basketball national tournaments, five Division II na-tional wrestling championships, and many North Central Conference and high school indoor track & field championships. It was the site of the first two NCAA Division II national indoor track & field champion-ships and a third in 1994. The 150,639 square feet of space is divided into three levels in a building mea-suring 320 feet wide and 48 feet high. A main floor of 102,000 square feet includes a wood basketball floor and an all-weath-er artificial surface for basketball games, track meets, wrestling meets, tennis and volleyball matches. Four basketball courts can be converted into six volleyball courts, 14 badminton courts, or three tennis courts. Main floor facilities also include a six-lane, 200-meter oval track as well as 13 straight-away lanes.

Offices, lockers and classrooms are also located on the main floor including a well-equipped training room with a walk-in whirlpool bath. The second-level activity deck in-cludes racquetball courts, the McCormick Wrestling Complex, and an extensive weight room. In addition to the many national events staged here, the Bison Sports Arena has been a home to successful basketball campaigns for the Bison.

Carolyn DeHoff enters her fifth season as head women's basketball coach at North Dakota State University with more than the usual head coaching experiences in her back pocket. She has compiled a 56-62 record overall including a 40-32 ledger in The Summit League.

NDSU finished the 2012 season 11-20 overall with an 8-10 record in The Summit League, good for fifth place. Her first season saw the roster whittled down to six scholarship players and two walk-ons; NDSU stayed focused and put together a 16-13 record overall, including a 12-6 mark in The Summit League and third place finish.

With 12 returning let-terwinners including four starters and a top-notch recruiting class, DeHoff and the coaching staff are looking forward to the 2012-13 season.

"Our goals for this sea-son are no different then in previous years. We want to compete at a high level, execute to the best of our abilities and win the Summit League Confer-ence championship," said DeHoff.

" We know what we want to ac-complish, our challenge is how we are going to achieve our goals and meet our expectations. Our first commitment is to prepare in more ways then we have as a team. We have to be more disciplined and dedicated to our personal best so we succeed as a team."

DeHoff was introduced as North Dakota State University’s ninth head women’s basketball coach in the pro-

gram’s 48-year history at a press confer-ence in April 2008.

“I’ve figured out that I’m an oppor-tunist,” DeHoff said. “The three pro-grams that I’ve been in, and now this one ... was all about opportunity.”

DeHoff replaced Women’s Basketball Hall of Fame coach Amy Ruley, who resigned in March 2008 to accept an associate athletic director for develop-ment position at North Dakota State.

“We’re going to talk about a standard of excellence here. It’s not going to be good enough just to be 19-11,” DeHoff said. “A standard of excellence is go-ing to be: ‘You’re going to win 20-plus

RECRUITINGCharacter Counts. When we recruit student-athletes, there’s no doubt we look for athletically skilled players. Once we identify those players we begin our homework and ascertain what type of person they are, taking into consideration both academic and athletic goals/aspirations. A considerable factor that we evaluate is how they perform in the classroom. Do they value their education? From there, we start to cultivate a relationship that allows us to get to know them and to share knowledge and insight about our program and NDSU tradition. We want the perfect fit for both the student-athlete and our program. It is critical for both the prospective student-athlete and our program to feel a connection to NDSU because our experiences will be shared and what we are “shooting” for with regards to results must be unified. Those results are defined as SUCCESS in both the classroom and on the court.

PURPOSE/GOALS(POTENTIAL)Our role as coaches is to provide an environment in which all student-athletes who go through our program are provided the tools to reach their potential not only as a basketball player but as an individual. It is our program’s expectation that each player will graduate from NDSU and go on to be a successful career woman. It is our program’s purpose that each player will gain the importance of off-season and in-season prepara-tion. They are accountable to increase their capabilities through knowledge, experiences, and commitment which in return will increase their successes. It is our purpose that they leave NDSU understanding that preparation breeds success!

PROGRAM PHILOSOPHY Expect Great. Keep it Simple. We expect to communicate, expect to learn, expect to trust, and expect to be accountable. As a student-ath-lete and coach we are dedicated to what we want, we have a vision, we remain focused on that vision, and are determined to let no one stand in our way. “DO IT!” Those involved with our program have it engrained that the strength of the Herd is the Bison and the strength of the Bison is the Herd. It is our responsibility to create a learning environment in which all student-athletes can reach their potential. Our players learn the concepts and principles of the motion offense, and are allowed to read and react to how they are defended. An emphasis on comprehen-sion and translating knowledge into action onto the court is vital for our athletes. They are allowed the freedom to play and be successful within the foundation of our offense. Our defensive philosophy is to operate out of our base defense. Our players learn the value of game prepara-tion, always knowing that no matter what comes at us on the floor we will have our base defense to fall back on when needed. We are com-mitted to preparation, prepared to succeed, and trust our training in all that we do.

Tom Goehle was named assistant women’s basketball coach at North Dakota State University in May 2012.

Goehle has spent the previous four seasons as an assistant women’s basketball coach at the University of Sioux Falls under head coach Travis Traphagen. Together they inherited a program that won only eight games prior to their arrival.

Since then USF achieved tremendous success. During his tenure with the Cougars, the program saw a pair of 18-14 seasons and two consecutive seasons with over 20 wins. In 2011, USF set a single-season record with 27 wins, taking the program to its first NAIA Elite Eight appearance since 2003. Last season the University of Sioux Falls completed its first full season as a NCAA Division II member. Goehle assisted the Cougars to an overall record of 86-37.

His duties at USF included player development, scouting of opponents, and recruiting. Goehle will assist in all phases of the Bison program.

“The coaching staff and players are thrilled to have Tom join our program. He brings a network of recruitment from the Midwest, a sound knowledge of NDSU and the Summit League and has an incredible basketball pedigree,” said Carolyn DeHoff.

“His parents were both educators and his Dad coached basketball for almost 40 years. He has spent the last four seasons with Coach Trap (Traphagen) from the University of Sioux Falls, and I am excited about what he has learned under his mentorship. Tom has the experience we were looking for, the confidence and knowledge to assist immediately and the passion to grow and strengthen our program.”

Goehle speaks very highly of the opportunity as well. "I am very excited to come alongside of Coach DeHoff and the entire Bison family," Goehle said. "The support of the administration and staff, the long history of success and tradition of the university, Coach DeHoff's commitment to her players, passion for the game, and desire to excel, all really solidified my desire to be a part of NDSU women's basketball."

"I look forward to, and feel extremely blessed to be in a position to be able to serve NDSU and the young women of this program. I'm embracing the opportunity to build on the foundation of excellence and success that has long been the trademark of Bison athletics."

Goehle comes from a rich basketball heritage, as his father, Hugo Goehle, surpassed 560 wins as a high school boys coach. Goehle began his coaching career at Augustana College where he served as student assistant under Gary Thomas for two years following a playing career at Minnesota State Mankato and Worthington Junior College.

Goehle received his bachelor’s degree from Augustana (S.D.) College in 1993.

BISON Assistants

Deanne Stevenson begins her third season as an assistant coach at North Dakota State University.

Stevenson was named assistant women's basketball coach in October 2010. She spent one month as director of operations before stepping into a vacancy on the staff.

Stevenson was a former player at the University of Utah when Coach DeHoff served as an assistant and associate head coach under Elaine Elliott. Stevenson was a member of the 2006 NCAA Elite Eight team that lost to eventual national champion Maryland. She competed in four NCAA tournaments in her five years at Utah.

At the conclusion of Stevenson's sophomore year she was awarded a medical hardship due to a career-ending injury. She worked 10 hours per week in the women's basketball office, while also gaining valuable administration and camp experience. Stevenson did return to the basketball court after submitting a waiver to the NCAA to restore her eligibility.

Highly-organized, Stevenson not only competed during the regular basketball season but also kept up with a demanding class and internship schedule. She was a marketing intern for the Utah athletic department and USA Team Handball.

Stevenson also worked game management with the Salt Lake Bees, and conducted interviews and wrote feature stories for Utah's athletic web page.

Trevor DEBATESStudent Manager

Keith Dickhudt was named assistant women's basketball coach at North Dakota State University in May 2012. Dickhudt had served as the women’s basketball director of operations since May 2011.

“Keith did a remarkable job for us this past season as our director of basketball operations. He said it best during his interview with the committee, ‘I’ve been interning for seven years and I want a shot at applying what I have learned from my experiences.’ It is time that Keith is given the opportunity to be on the road recruiting, building relationships and get us to the finish line,” said head coach Carolyn DeHoff.

“He has also earned my confidence to teach and coach our players. Keith is relentless, resourceful and will work tirelessly to make our program a success. The collaborative efforts of Keith, Deanne (Stevenson) and Tom (Goehle) are exciting for our NDSU women’s basketball program.”

A native of North St. Paul, Minn. (Concordia Academy H.S.), Dickhudt worked for five seasons under former NDSU coach Tim Miles and current head coach Saul Phillips as a student manager and graduate assistant manager before being promoted to video coordinator for the men’s basketball program.

“I have tremendous respect for Coach DeHoff and the program, as well as for the tireless work the entire staff and this department shows every day,” said Dickhudt.

“NDSU and Fargo have given me many positive experiences and opportunities both academically and professionally. It is very easy for me to have passion for women’s basketball, Bison athletics, and the university as a whole. I look forward to my new role which allows me to show my Bison Pride every day and work extremely hard with everyone who has their hands on our program.”

Dickhudt earned his bachelor’s degree in mass communications with a minor in coaching from North Dakota State in 2008 and his master’s degree in mass communications from NDSU in 2010.

While at NDSU, Dickhudt served as the youth basketball camp coordinator. He also worked as the assistant editor-in-chief and sports editor for university’s student newspaper, The Spectrum.

After leaving NDSU, Dickhudt spent the 2010-11 season as an assistant coach for the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith men’s basketball program. He was in charge of post players, video exchange, and assisting with recruiting and academics for the Lions.

Stephanie REITERDirector of Operations(Minnesota-Duluth, 2008)

Stephanie Reiter was named Director of Women's Basketball Operations at North Dakota State University in July 2012.

“Our coaching staff is thrilled with the addition of Steph (Reiter).Her background in graphics design along with her extensive work with camps, film exchange/breakdown, and team travel will make her transition seamless,” said NDSU head coach Carolyn DeHoff.

“The director of operations role is vital to our program and Steph will do an outstanding job for us."

A native of Coon Rapids, Minn., Reiter worked for University of Sioux Falls, alongside with new NDSU assistant coach Tom Goehle, the past two seasons as a graduate assistant. Her responsibilities included film exchange, preliminary breakdown of scout, monitoring academic success of student-athletes, coaching junior varsity squad, and assisting in practice and game preparation.

Prior to her graduate assistant position at USF, Reiter spent one season at NCAA Division II Upper Iowa University, where she served as an assistant women’s basketball coach. She was the recruiting coordinator for the Midwest region, academic supervisor, and handled other coaching duties while at UIU.

Reiter earned her master’s degree in business administration from USF in May 2012, and her bachelor’s degree in graphic design with an arts in media minor in from the University of Minnesota-Duluth in 2009. She was honored on the dean's list every semester while at UMD. Reiter was a four-year letter winner, a member of the Academic all-Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference team and team captain for the Bulldog's basketball team. While attending UMD, Reiter also assisted in the Minnesota Metro Stars Basketball Organization and worked regional basketball camps as a coach.

Women's Basketball Hall of Fame head coach Amy Ruley moved from the sidelines into an administrative position after 29 years of directing North Dakota State University program. Ruley compiled a record of 671-198 over that span and led the Bison to five NCAA Division II National Championships in 1991, 1993, 1994, 1995 and 1996.

final regular season game. Van Kirk, 5-9 sophomore from Sutton, Neb., averaged 8.6 points and 3.3 rebounds per game to land a spot on the league's all-newcomer team.

"Katie (Birkel) and Jamie (Van Kirk) have recovered nicely from ACL surgery," said DeHoff.

Five-foot-11 senior and cancer survivor Hannah Linz (Watkins, Minn.)

continues to be an inspiration on and off the court. Linz, who averaged 8.5 points and 2.7 rebounds per game, was the only Bison player to start in all 31 games last season and ranked 12th in the NCAA in three-point accuracy (39.9 percent).

"Hannah (Linz) is an incredibly smart basketball player which translates to

Looking to keep last season's 11-20 finish in the rear view mirror, the North Dakota State University women's basketball team has used it well in the off-season to serve as motivation for the upcoming winter and the rigors of The Summit League.

NDSU's fifth-year head coach Carolyn DeHoff and a dozen returning lettewinners including six seniors and four starters look forward to starting with a clean slate in 2012-13. Nine of the returnees started at least one game last year.

"Our goals for this season are no different than in previous years. We want to compete at a high level, execute to the best of our abilities and win the Summit League Conference championship," said DeHoff.

"We know what we want to accomplish, our challenge is how we are going to achieve our goals and meet our expectations. We have to be more disciplined and dedicated to our personal best so we succeed as a team."

Anxious to get back on the court is all-league guard Katie Birkel, who returns after missing the entire 2012 season due to a knee injury. Birkel, a 5-foot-8 senior from Lincoln, Neb., is already a member of the school's 1,000-point club at No. 29, and is climbing the assist and steal career charts. She averaged 13.2 points as a junior.

Joining Birkel in the backcourt will be fellow Nebraska native Jamie Van Kirk, who also is coming back from a knee injury that sidelined her in the

last year.Also returning for NDSU are 6-1

senior Catavia Jones (St. Paul, Minn.), 6-2 junior Miki Stephenson (Moorhead, Minn.), 5-11 redshirt sophomore Ali Browning (Iowa City, Iowa) and 6-foot sophomore Liz Keena (Hastings, Minn.). Both Jones and Stephenson provided valuable minutes off the bench, Browning is

healthy looking to contribute and Keena had a profitable first year at the collegiate level.

"There is plenty of competition here at the post position. The young post players have gotten stronger, smarter with their physiques and game," said DeHoff.

Newcomers include a transfer from

her teammates in practice and on the game floor," said DeHoff.

"Her ability to shoot with range will help stretch out the opponent’s defense."

Another all-league performer is 6-foot-5 center Janae Burich, who ranked 14th nationally averaging 2.81 blocked shots per game in 2012. Burich was named to the 2012 Capital One Academic All-America® third team. The senior from Roseville, Minn., averaged 10.2 points and 7.6 rebounds per game. She is 17 blocked shots away from Lisa Stamp's school career record of 222 entering this season and bidding to become the 30th member of the Bison 1,000-point club.

"Janae (Burich) has been our staple inside for three years now," said DeHoff.

"We look for “big” things from Janae this year and she is ready for the challenge"

Versatile 5-10 senior Dani DeGagne (Brandon, Manitoba) could be found anywhere on the floor for North Dakota State. She averaged 10.2 points and 4.7 rebounds per game making 22 starts.

" Dani (DeGagne) is expanding her game to the wing this year," said DeHoff.

"Dani’s perimeter skills will blend nicely on the wing as we saw a number of times last year with her running the point."

The backcourt also returns 5-9 sophomore Kahla Becken (Lino Lakes, Minn.), 5-8 senior Britney Gaines (Mesquite, Texas) and 5-11 sophomore Alisa Brown (Sioux Falls, S.D.). Becken averaged 4.4 points and 1.7 rebounds per game in six starts, while Gaines provided pop off the bench from beyond the arc hitting 20 of 61 three-pointers. Brown's effort in practice led to minutes on the court

Southern Illinois in 5-6 junior Brooke LeMar, and a trio of freshman, 6-foot forward Holly Johnson (Minot, N.D.), 5-9 guard Brittany Wiebe (Brandon, Manitoba) and 5-11 forward Marena Whittle (Vermont So., Victoria, Australia). LeMar sits out this year due to NCAA transfer rules but will make practice interesting. Johnson was the 2012 North Dakota Class A Miss

Basketball, Wiebe went to the same high school as DeGagne , and Whittle is the program's first international player not north of the border.

North Dakota State is scheduled to open the regular season at home against Harvard University at 5 p.m. Friday, Nov. 9. It's one of 15 home games on the schedule this season, not including exhibitions against Minnesota-Crookston (Nov. 1) and Minnesota State Moorhead (Nov. 5).

The Bison open Summit League play at four-time defending champion South Dakota State at 2 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 20, in Brookings.

"Our success will come down to execution, winning on the road, and doing both with consistency. Of course we need to stay healthy. We have a good blend of experience in our upperclassmen splashed in with young athletic, skilled players," said DeHoff.

"Our leadership will have to set a tone with this group by realizing that we have to do the little things much better and more often. This group is going to have

to make sacrifices beyond anything they have experienced in the previous seasons."

North Dakota State University senior Jayne Even, who helped lead the Bison to a national runner-up finish in the school’s ninth berth in the 2000 NCAA Division II Final Four, was named winner of the Honda Award as the 1999-2000 NCAA Division II Collegiate Woman Athlete of the Year, following national balloting among NCAA-member schools.

Even became the third North Dakota State University athlete to win the Honda Award. Volleyball player Janet Cobbs (1989) and basketball’s Kasey Morlock (1997) were also named the Division II Collegiate Women Athlete of the Year. It was one of many honors for Even. She was one of 10 finalists for the NCAA Woman of the Year, the North Central Conference's Stan Marshall Award, the Woody Hayes Division II Scholar-Athlete Award and the NDSU Albrecht Presidential Trophy to just to name a few.

A senior from Sioux Falls, S.D. (O’Gorman H.S.), the 6-foot Even was named the WBCA Division II Player of the Year and became only the second NDSU player to claim the North Central Conference scoring title, averaging 22.1 points per game in the process. Overall, she also led the 28-4 Bison in scoring (20.5 ppg) and rebounding (9.7 rpg) and also posted 19 “double-doubles”. She is the fifth player to earn NCC Player of the Year honors and was selected to the All-NCC first-time for the second time in her collegiate career.

A mass communications major with a 3.67 grade point average, Even was the recipient of a NCAA Postgraduate Scholarship.

Maybe the measure of our pride last week was simply watching the NDSU Bison women's basketball team trying to go undefeated while capturing a national championship.

Maybe it was because the Elite 8 tournament was right here in Fargo.

Maybe it was because the games were close and the Bison had to extend themselves to win.

Maybe it was because the cham-pionship game was being nationally televised.

Maybe it was because the Bison players genuinely enjoyed themselves playing the game.

All those things were probably fac-tors, but there was something more. At the championship game there was almost a feeling of family among the 7,138 fans.

I think it was the makeup of the team. The word “family” kept coming to mind while observing the team members before, during and after their three play-off games.

The 1994-95 Bison women were our people. There was nobody from Ohio, Illi-nois or California. There was nobody even from South Dakota, Iowa or Montana.

They were home folks. All hailed from North Dakota and Minnesota.

Their roots were in Okabena, Wadena, Willmar, Stewartville and Be-midji, Minn.; in Rhame, New Rockford, Milnor and Mandan, N.D. The largest cities represented were Bismarck, Grand Forks and Duluth.

Most fans had never met any of the players, yet they spoke of them familiarly, almost like neighbors around the corner.

It was Jenni and Lori and Kasey and Linda and Lynette ... not Rademacher, Roufs, Morlock, Davis and Mund. But it wasn't a sexist, patronizing thing because everybody under that noisy roof knew these superb athletes could outrun and outshoot almost anybody. It was simply, well, a feeling of attachment, of family, of something special.

They possessed the characteristics we of the Upper Midwest consider impor-tant. They worked hard, they were loyal to each other, they performed unselfishly, they took great pleasure in a teammate's success.

They were classy in compliment-

ing their opponents because they of all people knew what it took to reach the championship level. This wasn't lost on visiting players and coaches, nor was the genuine friendliness from the bleachers, motels and restaurants.

No, it was something more than exciting games and an undefeated season and a national championship right here where we could watch every play.

These Bison women were people of our land, the salt of our earth, mostly the products of our farms and small towns. They were hard-working, talented, joyous ambassadors for a part of the country which doesn't exist in millions of minds around the country.

And the 7,138 members of that extended family leaped to their feet time after time Saturday afternoon roaring with delight that we not only exist, our people excel.

Written by Joe Dill, Editor, The Forum, fol-lowing North Dakota State's 98-85 win over Portland State in the 1995 NCAA Division II national champi-onship game.

Why the Bison?North Dakota State University's athletic

teams have progressed from the “Farmers” in the 1890's to the “Aggies” in the early 1900's, to “Bison”, North Dakota State's current athletic symbol. It was developed by head football coach Stan Borleske in 1919 because he and members of the football team didn't like being known as the Aggies. Borleske wanted a strong and fierce mascot. The Bison was a logical choice. The great ani-mals once roamed the North Dakota prairie in vast numbers, and over the years Bison athletic teams added an additional name, the “Thundering Herd.”

The HerdNow this is the law of the prairie

As old and as true as the skyAnd the Bison that keep it will prosper

And the Bison that break it will dieAs the creeper that girdles the tree trunk

This law is the final word:For the strength of the Herd is the BisonAnd the strength of the Bison is the Herd

“The Yellow and Green”

Words by A.E. MinardMusic by Dr. C.S. (Doc) Putnam

Ho! a cheer for the green and yellow, Up with yellow and the green,

They're the shades that deck our prairies, Far and wide with glorious sheen. Fields of waving green the springtime, Golden yellow in the fall.

How the great high-arching heaven, Looks and Laughs upon it all.

Little did these pioneers of the prairie realize 100 years ago, women's basketball at North Dakota State University would not only catch the eye, but capture the imagination of the Far-go-Moorhead community and the Upper Midwest. Those hearty women of yesteryear set the

standard.The tradition, commonly referred to as

“Bison Basketball”is now passed down from generation to generation as well as from class to class.

A century later, only the uniforms are different.However, the high standards of scholarship, athletics and good sportsmanship are still up-

held. These are the standards against which the Bison are measured.

NDSU Achieved Unprecedented Court Success, Going 32-0 in 1995

Sitting in the stands at the Hearnes Center in Columbia, Missouri, watching the women's basketball teams from Iowa State and Missouri do battle, Lynette Mund reflected back to her college days on the wooden court.

So who is Lynette Mund?Well, Mund was a senior on the 1995

North Dakota State women's basketball team that won the program's third straight NCAA Division II national championship ... and went undefeated at 32-0. She was one of 14 players on the Bison roster that season.

The remarkable feat was in triplicate because the national champions in women's basketball at all three NCAA Divisions, I (Connecticut), II (North Dakota State) and III (Capital) ran the table and went undefeated.

However, North Dakota State remains the only Division II team to post a perfect ledger.

“I was watching that (Iowa State-Missouri) game, it was an intense competition. I thought, 'Oh man, what an awesome experience I had playing. Being able to go through a season undefeated',” said Mund, who is now teaching and coaching at West Fargo High School.

“I went home afterwards, and I actually popped in the videotape of that championship game to watch a little bit to get that feeling of how awesome it was to play with my friends and just being successful.”

It was an interesting cast of characters assembled by veteran head coach Amy Ruley, who has guided the Bison to five NCAA titles during her 23-year career. Maybe underscore the word characters.

“So much of that success went beyond those skills. It was their heart and their ability to stay focused, stay positive. It was the quality of competitor,” said Ruley, who has directed the Bison into eight NCAA national championship games.

“I think that what we accomplished wasn't as important as how we accomplished it. We

played with a lot of enthusiasm and as a team with people trusting each other and playing hard together,” said Ruley.

From game to game, throughout the season, the focus was getting ready for the next game, the next opponent. That sharp focus was accented by this team's ability to laugh a little, hug a little and yes, even sing a little.

Mund, who grew up on a farm in Milnor, North Dakota, kept the mood light at times with hilarious stories about unfortunate accidents to an assortment of barnyard animals. To get up before games, the team would gather together and sing silly cheers. Often the leader was Mund, the court jester.

One player, Jenni Rademacher, earned the nickname, "Tasmanian Devil" with her all-out,

hurricane-like style of play. Another player, Jessica DeRemer, a 6-3 post player and mass communication major, would practice her interviewing skills.

Both point guards, Linda Davis and Rhonda Birch, were nursing majors. Not only responsible for running the Bison transition offense and setting the tempo on defense, these two were also literally running around the Fargo-Moorhead area to

classes, the library, to the lab, to practice and back to the library before calling it a day.

Davis did well keeping her composure as “fiddlesticks” and “sugar” were the only discouraging words heard from her. She went on to earn North Central Conference (NCC) Defensive Player of the Year honors.

Put an "S" on the jersey of Lori Roufs, who had a breakout season during her junior season. She transformed into a world-beater, using a school and then league record 43-point explosion against Nebraska-Omaha as an exclamation point.

“It's a hot hand, but also a lot of luck. I was in the right place at the right time, but I also had teammates who recognized what was happening on the court,” said Roufs, who is married and goes by the last name of Hanson

“I've had so many wonderful memories of my

days at NDSU playing for the Bison. Each year I played got better and better as did our

team. By the time I was a senior, Coach Amy Ruley set the pace with her first trip to what it was called then,

‘The Final Four’ in Charleston, South Carolina. I will never

forget how we got there and how we ended up playing in the championship game out

in California to get to the Final Four. It was an exciting time I will never forget. Coach Amy Ruley was and still is a great coach. I just wish she could

have been there my freshman year.”

Fame in 1997.

capable challenger awaiting in the semifinals.North Dakota State had to withstand

the 1-4 offense of Missouri Western, who lost to the Bison the previous season in the quarterfinals. Lightning-quick guard Kathy Dyess led Missouri Western with 28 points, but the Bison countered with super soph Morlock, who proved why she earned Kodak All-America honors and her first of two NCAA Elite Eight most outstanding player awards.

Morlock, who played at Stewartville (Minnesota) High School, hit a NCAA Division II tournament record 17 of 19 free throws and scored 33 points to lead North Dakota State to a hard-fought 74-67 victory over Missouri Western. Her final two free throws would

allow her to surpass 1,000 points in a career as a sophomore. She finished her career with a school record 2,223 points.

“I remember looking at the score thinking, 'this is a good game.' However, I was not nervous. We had not lost all year, and for some reason that was not pressure,” said Morlock.

“The game came down to free throws and I shot a number of them. We went into the lockerroom (following the game) excited, but you could tell that everyone expected that season to be playing for a national championship.”

It was while watching the consolation game

where talk of a perfect season first came about.

“At the time, I don't know if we realized what we were accomplishing. I think we were so focused on winning the next game that we continued to steamroll through the season with great success,” said Roufs.

“I do remember our team watching the consolation game the night before the championship game and someone mentioned we could go undefeated. It had never been mentioned until that night. A perfect season wasn't the goal, it was to continually come out and be better than the competition.”

And it was a competition the Bison and the Vikings of Portland State engaged in. It was perhaps the best NCAA Division II championship game ever played.

“That was a great game because both teams played so well. Both teams were hitting shots, working hard defensively, but doing the things they wanted to do. It was a test of wills and neither team blinked, neither team cracked,”

now. She teaches sixth grade social studies and reading at Monticello (Minnesota) Middle School and also coaches junior varsity girls' basketball.

“I really do believe that the players on that team just loved to play and compete. I don't know that it was a lot more than that. My junior year was one of my favorite years playing at NDSU. I was really enjoying basketball, and I loved my teammates that I was surrounded by. I really think the chemistry was great, everyone knew their roles on the team and did what was asked of them.”

Part of the chemistry was the North Dakota State depth. Players like Andrea Kelly, Rachael Otto, Amy Ornell, Tanya Fischer, Erica Lyseng, LaShalle Boehm and Birch were eager to step on the court during games and made life miserable for the starters.

“I remember the practices being so tough because the people coming off the bench that year could have started for any other North Central Conference team. Games seemed easier since we beat each other up so much in practice,” said Kasey Morlock, who is married to former Bison football player Garth Tschetter.

The regular season wasn't without its exciting moments. North Dakota State opened the campaign at always rugged Minnesota-Duluth, posting a 66-57 win. It was the closest any opponent would come for 23 games when the Bison rallied behind Morlock's 31 points to defeat North Dakota 76-72 in Grand Forks in late February.

North Dakota State showed a zest for the game as it defeated opponents by an average of 27.9 points per game. The Bison allowed just 57.9 points each outing and also outrebounded their foes by an average of nearly 16 rebounds per game.

“These players just loved the game so much, it was so much of a part of their life,” said Ruley.

“A game was important to them. It was a big event. Having a game was a special time for them, it wasn't just another activity for the day.”

However getting to the championship game would be a chore after the Bison rolled past Minnesota-Duluth and South Dakota State in the regional and then past Oakland University in the quarterfinal. North Dakota State found a

“My overall memory of being a Bison athlete is just an overwhelming love and caring for the program that helped develop me into the person that I am today. Bison Pride is something that will never end. But, by far, the most important thing that NDSU athletics gave to me was a group of friends that at times seemed more like sisters than ‘just’ friends.”

Jody (Renville) Schmidt, NDSU forward, 1985-86, 1988-89

“I wouldn't trade one minute of my experience at NDSU for all the money in the world. It was the best time of my life and I am so fortunate to have been a part of it. I continously try to be like Amy. My practices are now mini-Bison practices. I just wish I had half of her knowledge and teaching ability.”

Jen Rademacher, NDSU guard, 1992-96. Rademacher played on four NCAA title teams.

Jody (Renville) Schmidt

said Ruley.“When players think about playing in a

national championship game, that's what it's all about. There was a tremendous amount of energy around the game. It was electric. The focus of the players was sharp, each player on both teams making plays. Every player knowing their role and doing their job to contribute to the success of the team.”

Portland State shot 76% in the second half and 63% for the game, but it wasn't enough to stop the Bison. North Dakota State grabbed the lead early, answered each Vikings' rally and pulled away late for a 98-85 win before a NCAA Division II championship game record crowd of 7,138 at the Bison Sports Arena along with a live TV audience on ESPN2.

While Portland State All-Americans, center Kristi Smith and guard Kim Manifesto, combined for 51 points, it was another team effort for North Dakota State. Six players scored in double figures led by Roufs' 23 points. Rademacher had 17 points, Morlock and Mund each netted 15, while Birch added 10 and Davis 10.

Roufs and Rademacher would go on to play on a fourth NCAA Division II national championship team in 1996, a basketball record at any Division, men's or women's. The winning streak grew to 49, another Division II women's mark.

“When ever there's a time when I am upset, I just think about that experience, and I think, 'Gosh, how lucky I was,' ” said Mund.

NCAA Woman of the Year FinalistOne of Many Honors for Theresa Lang

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind.--North Dakota State University basketball standout Theresa Lang was among the 10 finalists for the 1999 NCAA Woman of the Year Award. The NCAA Woman of the Year Award honors outstanding female stu-dent-athletes from NCAA institutions who have excelled in the collegiate environ-ment beyond their athletics pursuits with academic achievements and community involvement.

Theresa, the daughter of Jim and Mary Lang, Austin, MN, was honored at the awards dinner Oct. 24 at the Indiana Roof Ballroom in Indianapolis.Despite being diagnosed with cancer dur-ing Christmas break, Lang resumed playing, averaging 7.5 points and 2.9 rebounds. Upon her return to the lineup on Jan. 15, 1999, she nailed a three-point jumper with :48-seconds left. Lang became the 19th player in the program's history to score 1,000points during her senior year. She graduated as NDSU's all-time leader in 3-point field goals made (139) and 3-point field goal percentage (.422, 139x329).

More impressive, however, was the fact Lang resumed a normal course load in the classroom and completed the spring semester with a 4.00 grade point average. She went through graduation ceremonies and received her bachelor's degree in business administration and finished with a 3.67 GPA.

The honors were numerous for Lang. She was named 1998-99 Midwest Sports Channel's Most Inspirational Amateur Athlete and recipient of a NCAA $5,000

Postgraduate Scholarship. She also re-ceived the 1998-99 North Central Confer-ence Ruth Marske Award, and was also a two-time Academic All-NCC pick.

A member of the 1996 NCAA Division II National Champions, she was named to the 1998 Kodak Division II All-District VII and All-NCC first teams.

Active off the court, Lang was "Get Into the Game" reading program vol-unteer from 1997-99. She served as the 1998-1999 NDSU Student-Athlete Advisory Council president, and was also a member of the 1998-1999 NCC Student-Athlete Council.

“Theresa had a huge positive impact on campus at NDSU,” said Bison basketball coach Amy Ruley.

“As a senior captain in 1999, Theresa led the team to a perfect 11-0 start until being forced to the sideline after being diagnosed with cancer. Aware of the seriousness of her illness, she elected to be with and cheer her team from the bench only four days after diagnosis. After beginning

chemotherapy treatments, Theresa returned campus to again provide support. She displayed a positive attitude and strong will in her battle with the illness. Her strength and strong faith proved to be an inspiration to the entire community.”

Lang, who now is married and has the last name of Schmidt, is currently living and working in the Twin Cities.

“After church one Sunday, eleven year old Tessa congratulated me on our team's Saturday night victory. Her face gleamed with excitement and admiration as she recited play by play action of my personal highlights from the game. I was absolutely shocked and honored by the impression I had made on Tessa's life.

“When I reflect on my four years at NDSU, I am most proud of be-ing a positive role model for girls like Tessa. I have been fortunate enough to develop relationships with young people in my community where I have helped them grow as athletes and people. I hope that my personal commitment to academics and athletics has served as a guide for young student athletes. When-ever young people ask me how much time I spent practicing each day to receive a college basketball scholarship, I tell them only half as much time as I spent studying for school.

“Basketball has opened the door to a world of opportunities for me. It has provided my ticket to oppor-tunities of higher education, trips around the country, and friendships that will last a lifetime. Basketball has literally shaped my life with principles of hard work, responsi-bility, leadership, teamwork, and dedication. I have received so much from the game of basketball that being a positive role model and opening the door of opportunity for young people like Tessa is the least that I can do.”

One of the NCAA Today's Top VIII: North Dakota State's Kasey Morlock

North Dakota State University All-Amer-ica basketball player Kasey Morlock was part of a stellar group of student-athletes that included the NCAA Woman of the Year, an Olympian, top football players, and NCAA champions in three sports, who were selected as the 1996-97 Today's Top VIII.

The Today's Top VIII, selected by the NCAA Honors Committee, recognizes distinguished student-athletes from the preceding calendar year for athlet-ics, academic achievement, character and leadership. Morlock joined a group that included swimmer Lisa Coole of the University of Georgia; volleyball/basket-ball athlete Carrie E. Ferguson of Capital University; track and field standout Ob-adele O. Thompson of the University of Texas-El Paso; gymnast Meredith Willard of the University of Alabama, Tuscaloosa; and football players Brian Griese of the University of Michigan; Peyton Manning of the University of Tennessee, Knoxville; and Grant Winstrom of the university of Nebraska-Lincoln.

The Today's Top VIII was recognized at the honors dinner January 11, 1998 during the NCAA Convention in Atlanta, Georgia. Morlock was also recognized as the 1996-97 Division II Honda Award Woman Athlete of the Year at the Colle-giate Woman Athlete of the Year Banquet, also in Atlanta.

Morlock, a 6-foot-1 center from Stew-artville, Minn., was a three-time Kodak Division II All-American for the Bison women's basketball team and also earned GTE/CoSIDA Academic All-America 2nd team honors in 1997. She was selected as the 1997 Rawlings/WBCA Division II Player of the Year. With an outstanding basketball career completed, Morlock played volleyball in 1997. She became the first NDSU men's or women's basketball player to score 2,000 points. Morlock is the school's all-time leading scorer with 2,233 points (125 games, 17.9 ppg).

Kasey, who is married to Garth Tschet-ter, is working in the Twin Cities.

North Dakota State head coach Amy Ruley built up quite a following in Fargo. It's not to hard to see why with the success the Bison have enjoyed. Along with five national titles under her belt, she had 25 consecutive winning seasons — including 16 straight 20-win ledgers from 1986 to 2001.

THE SUMMIT League “Ascending” and “improving” are common adjectives used in media coverage of The Summit League as it continues its renaissance. Consisting of nine member institutions with over 3,000 student-athletes competing in 19 championship sports, The Summit League has enjoyed unprecedented success and development in recent history. Since rebranding as The Summit League in 2007, the league has produced 54 All-Americans, 37 Capital One Academic All-America® selections and seven NCAA championships. In the past seven seasons, Summit League teams have achieved final national rankings in six different sports, won NCAA regional championships in two sports and advanced in three additional NCAA team championship tournaments. That level of success carries into both the class-room and athletic competition. Originally formed in 1982 as the Association of Mid-Continent Universities and later known as the Mid-Continent Conference, The Summit League is in its sixth year of rebranding that followed its 25th anniversary and coincided with the Summit Plan, a strategic plan that places a renewed emphasis on improving the academic and athletic performances of all league student-athletes. The Summit League has a combined enrollment of more than 144,000 at nine universities: IPFW (Indiana University-Purdue University Fort Wayne), IUPUI (Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis), UMKC (University of Missouri-Kansas City), the University of Nebraska Omaha, North Dakota State University, Oakland University, University of South Dakota, South Dakota State University, and Western Illinois University. The league has two associate members with Eastern Illinois University competing in swimming and diving and Oral Roberts University competing in men’s soccer. These member institutions pride themselves on providing quality athletic, academic and social experiences for their student-athletes. The Summit League sponsors 19 championship sports, which include: baseball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s cross country, men’s and women’s golf, men’s and women’s soccer, softball, men’s and women’s swimming and diving, men’s and women’s indoor track and field, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s tennis, and volleyball. The league champion receives automatic bids to the NCAA tournament in all applicable sports. Since its inception in 1982, The Summit League has had several transcen-dent moments on the national stage. In 1986, Cleveland State upset third-seeded Indiana in the first round of the NCAA men’s basketball tournament on its way to the Sweet 16. Valparaiso captured the nation’s attention when Bryce

Drew hit “the shot” to defeat No. 4 seed Mississippi in an NCAA first-round game and spark its 1998 Sweet 16 run. More recently, the Oral Roberts base-ball program finished the 2004 campaign nationally ranked and became the first Summit League school to reach the NCAA Super Regionals in 2006. Three years later, North Dakota State became the league’s first softball team to win an NCAA regional and advance to the Super Regional round. The league has produced nine NCAA champions, four Olympic medalists, and several All-Americans in the sports of track and field, swimming and diving, and cross country. Numerous professionals and several draft choices have come directly from The Summit League, including three Major League Baseball first-round picks, a pair of NBA first-rounders and one WNBA selection. Former Summit Leaguers Kevin Duckworth (NBA) and Kevin Seitzer (MLB) each were two-time all-stars during their professional careers. Recent and historical success coupled with an increased growth among its membership base gives The Summit League a promising future on the landscape of college athletics.

Cal State-San Bernardino looked to be in a position to challenge in the second half, but the Bison picked up their intensity after the intermission.

“Our team is one that kind of feels teams out,” said NDSU head coach Amy Ruley.

“And in those cases usually the second half is our better half.”

The championship game turned out to be one of those cases. The Bison began the second half with a 20-10 run that extended the lead to 59-38 with 12:46 left. Steere, the championship's most outstanding player, tallied 13 of NDSU's 20 points during that stretch.

The Coyotes' shooting woes were never more evident than midway in the second half when they went 5:35 without a basket.

Steere, who hit 11-of-18 from the field and 10-of-13 from the foul line, was joined on the all-tourney team by teammates Rademacher and Kasey Morlock, and Kim Young and Chery'll Few from Cal State-San Bernardino. Few led the Coyotes with 25 points.

Bison Roll to Second Straight National Title at Home in '94

NDSU's Lynette Mund (42) scored two of her nine points against Cal State-San Bernardino during the 1994 NCAA Division II championship game played at the Bison Sports Arena.

The Bison, normally 44 percent shooters, countered Portland State's hot hand with 52 percent

Thanks to their aggressive ap-proach, six Bison players scored in doublefigures.

Portland State cut the Bison leadtothreepointsinthefirsthalfandfivepointsearlyinthesecond half. But the Vikings could get no closer.

“I always felt like we were playing well and never got out of ourgameplan,”saidNDSUheadcoach Amy Ruley, who directed the Bison to their fourth NCAA titleinfiveyears.

“Itwasafunonetocoach.”It was also a fun game to play

in. Lori Roufs led the Bison with 23 points and 5 rebounds, while Jenni Rademacher followed with 17.KaseyMorlockandLynetteMund each had 15 points, while Rhonda Birch and Linda Davis eachfinishedwith11.

Morlock was named the Most Outstanding Player of the NCAA Elite Eight, while Roufs was select-edtotheall-tourneyteam.

Perfect Finish for NDSU In Winning Third Straight Title

North Dakota State's Lori Roufs (30) drove to the basket during the 1995 NCAA Division II national championship game at the Bison Sports Arena.

North Dakota State senior Darci Steere, playing in her fourth NCAA championship final, poured in 32 points and grabbed 17 rebounds to lead the Bison past Cal State-San Bernardino 89-56.

“Not very many people get the opportunity to play in a champion-ship game and even fewer people get the opportunity to play in four,” said Steere.

“There is no greater feeling in the world than going out your senior year as the national champions.”

The victory was even more special as it came in the Bison Sports Arena before 6,806 appreciative fans. When the Bison last hosted the Division II championship in 1992 they were defeated by Delta State 65-63.

As was the case throughout the championship, stifling defense was the key for the Bison. NDSU limited the Coyotes to 25 percent shoot-ing on the night, including a frigid 21 percent (7-of-33) in the decisive second half.

Trailing 18-13 midway in the first half, Jen Rademacher and Rhonda Birch sparked a 17-3 run

“We had something to prove tonight,andwewentoutanddidit,”Schmidt said. “We had a bad taste in our mouth from last year, so we wanted to go out tonight with a big bang.Ithinkwedid.”

NDSU's Jody Buck (20) pushed the ball down the court and led the Bison to a 95-63 win against Delta State in the 1993 NCAA championship game.

Much like North Dakota State did the previous year, Delta State University went on the road to garner the NCAA Division II nationaltitle.

Playing before 7,101 fans at the Bison Sports Arena, the Lady Statesmen used a dominant insidegameandazonedefenseto defeat North Dakota State 65-63towinthe1992DivisionIIchampionship.

North Dakota State captured runnerup honors in the 1986 NCAA tourney in Springfield, Mass.

NDSU's Susan Faus (25) drove down the lane during the 81-74 NCAA championship victory over Southeast Missouri State in 1991 in Cape Girardeau, Missouri.

by Jill DeVries, who put the Bison up 72-66 with a 3-pointer with 3:42 remaining. A layup by Buck and a DeVries free throw made the score 75-66 with 2:05 left. Southeast got no closer than five points in the final five minutes.

Southeast Missouri led three times in the final half, but was un-able to match North Dakota State's ball-handling and half-court offense. SE Missouri's biggest of three leads was 49-45 on Stephanie Holland's two free throws before North Dakota State rebounded.

“I had a good feeling that we needed to play defense in a zone tonight,” said Bison head coach Amy Ruley. “It took them out of their game.”

Nadine Schmidt, the tourney's MVP, had 13 points and seven rebounds for NDSU. DeVries was se-lected to the all-tourney team. Sarita Wesley netted a game-high 26 points for SEMO.

NDSU AT A GLANCE

North Dakota State University is a shining example of a successful student-focused, land-grant, research institution. With 80,000 living alumni, NDSU commands a powerful niche in higher education and the rest of the nation is noticing its accomplishments.

The Carnegie Commission on Higher Education named NDSU to the elite “Research University/Very High Research” category, which represents the 108 most successful private and public universities in the United States. The classification is convincing recognition of NDSU’s position as a national research institution.

“We have a strong sense of community and campus pride at NDSU. We are dedicated to the land-grant mission of quality education, leading research and outstanding service,” said President Dean L. Bresciani. “NDSU clearly makes a difference in the lives of students and the vitality of our community, state, region and nation.”

Success comes from all sectors of this energized, vibrant university. NDSU enrolled 14,399 students during the fall 2011 semester in undergraduate and graduate programs, including about 2,150 graduate and professional students.

More than 1,200 international students from 80 countries attend classes. NDSU’s student-to-faculty ratio stands at 18:1.

NDSU continues to excel in areas of innovative and technology-driven research, with more than $110 million in annual research expenditures. NDSU is listed in the top 40 research universities without a medical school in the United States, based on research expenditures reported to the National Science Foundation. NDSU consistently ranks in the top 100 research universities in the country in the areas of physical sciences, chemistry, social sciences and agricultural sciences.

Bresciani, who was named NDSU’s 14th president on May 24, 2010, by the State Board of Higher Education, says a rare “window of opportunity” exists in North Dakota, and he has challenged the campus community to imagine how NDSU can help shape the state during the next century.

NDSU AT A GLANCENDSU: yesterday and today

The state’s first land grant university was established as North Dakota Agricul-tural College on March 8, 1890, and organized for educational work on Oct. 15, 1890. President Horace E. Stockbridge and a five-member faculty welcomed the first class of 30 students as they took a winter agricultural course. Old Main, the campus’ landmark building, was completed in 1892.

Renamed in 1960 as North Dakota State University of Agriculture and Applied Science, the institution educates students for a multitude of career opportunities. The university is comprised of the College of Agriculture, Food Systems, and Natural Resources; College of Arts, Humanities and Social Sciences; College of Business; College of Engineering and Architecture; College of Human Development and Education; College of Pharmacy, Nursing, and Allied Sciences; College of Science and Mathematics; College of University Studies; and College of Graduate and Interdisciplinary Studies.

NDSU’s outstanding academic departments offer 102 bachelor degree programs, 67 master’s degree programs, 45 doctoral programs, an educational specialist degree and nine graduate certificate programs.

Students work closely with NDSU’s chemists, engineers, architects, musicians, pharmacists, writers and other respected faculty who frequently are on the leading edge of research in their chosen areas. During fall 2010, NDSU had 720 ranked faculty and lecturers, program administrators and coaches, along with 180 part-time academic staff and 827 graduate assistants and fellows, according to the Office of Institutional Research and Analysis.

The NDSU campus in Fargo consists of 119 buildings on approximately 42 square blocks or 258 acres. The university also has state-of-the-art facilities in downtown Fargo. In all, NDSU is located on 18,746 acres of North Dakota land, which includes the main Agricultural Experiment Station at Fargo. There are 53 local Extension offices and eight research Extension centers across the state.

Dedicated to outreach efforts, the NDSU Extension Service conducts a rigorous education program in agriculture, human development, nutrition and youth and community development through its county, area and state staff. The NDSU Extension Service had more than 500,000 face-to-face contacts across the state during this past fiscal year, including 21,000 youth who participated in 4-H Club activities, day camp and after school programs.

Members of NCAA Division I, the talented Bison athletic teams have enjoyed a long tradition of excellence. The student-athletes compete in first-class facilities – the Fargodome, Newman Outdoor Field, Ellig Sports Complex and Bison Sports Arena.

An energetic student bodyThe NDSU student body is a talented, dedicated and enthusiastic blend of

international and ethnic backgrounds. More than 1,200 international students from 80 countries attend classes.

NDSU has bilateral student exchange agreements with institutions in Australia, Chile, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Italy, Korea, Latvia, Mexico, Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom. There also are memorandums of understanding with other countries such as Belize, China, Malaysia, Sri Lanka and Thailand.

NDSU students find it is easy to make friends and get involved with campus life. They can participate in more than 200 student organizations to develop personal and social relationships, explore new ideas, learn about people from around the world and augment their course work. The groups focus on academics, special interests, service, performing and visual arts, religion and recreation. There also are intercultural groups, honor societies, fraternities and sororities.

Fargo: a great place to live, work and studyThe home of NDSU, Fargo is a bustling metropolitan area that is often listed

as one of the best places to live in the country. Named an All-American City by the National Civic League in 2000, Fargo-Moorhead is the largest community between Minneapolis and Seattle. About 200,000 people make their home in Cass and Clay Counties.

Often cited as a leader in economic development and job creation, the area is noted for its entertainment options, wealth of activities, excellent parks and outstanding shopping.

Safe and clean, the community is receiving national acclaim. In a ranked listing for Businessweek.com, Bloomberg Rankings said Cass County as the best affordable place in the country. CareerBuilder named North Dakota as “the best state for job seekers.” Fargo was named to the “10 real estate markets to watch in 2011” list by Inman News. And Fargo ranked third among America’s “Least Angry Cities” by Men’s Health magazine.

A campus committed to the futureAdvances have come and continue on many fronts across the university, and

the people of NDSU are optimistically looking to the challenges and opportuni-ties of the future. As President Bresciani says, “The future of North Dakota is at a point of awakening – and our imagination is the only limit to the future. We at NDSU are poised to help make that future a reality. The best is yet to come.”

Assistant

Gene Taylor, athletic director

When he came to North Dakota State University in the summer of 2001, Gene Taylor inherited a department surrounded by a whirlwind of questions. In his first year as the director of athletics at North Dakota State, Taylor was asked to spearhead a comprehensive study and evaluation of the Bison athletic department. He has guided the athletics program through the unpredictable waters of reclassification to NCAA Division I from Division II. One of most important pieces of the

transition was securing conference affiliations for all 16 sports. The Bison are currently members of The Summit League, Missouri Valley Football Conference and Western Wrestling Conference. Taylor also played an instrumental part of forming the Great West Football Conference in February 2004, an affiliation that gave the Bison football program an immediate home in Division I. He served as chair of the coaches committee. The Bison football team won the 2011 FCS National Championship in their second playoff appearance. The NDSU men’s basketball, women’s volleyball and softball programs have qualified for NCAA national tournaments capped off by softball advancing to the 2009 Super Regional. Individuals representing the Bison women’s golf, track and field, and wrestling teams have competed at NCAA championships Also on the reclassification checklist: fundraising. The NDSU athletics budget has tripled from $5 million in Taylor’s first year to $15 million, while the scholarship endowment has grown to $11.2 million, and Team Makers booster club support has went from $750,000 to $2.3 million. The athletics program is two-thirds of the way in the $32 million Building the Competitive Edge campaign to construct the Sanford Health Athletic Complex. Twice Taylor has been recognized for his success by the National Association of Collegiate Directors of Athletics. He was selected as the FCS Central Region AD of the Year in June 2008 and June 2012. Taylor received the Blue Key Honor Society Doctor of Service Award, one of the most prestigious honors a NDSU faculty member can be bestowed in April 2012. A student assistant to the associate athletic director in his undergraduate days at Arizona State University, Taylor came to NDSU after a 15-year stint at Navy (1986-2001) as an administrative assistant, assistant ticket manager, ticket manager, assistant athletic director for tickets and operations, and associate athletic director. Taylor is a 1980 business management graduate of Arizona State, and he received his master’s degree in sports administration in 1985 from St. Thomas University in Florida. He worked in the ticket office at Southern Methodist University in 1985-86 directly before joining the Naval Academy and was in the private restaurant business before that for five years. His tenure at Navy included serving as the commissioner of the five-team Collegiate Sprint Football League that includes Army, Navy, Penn, Princeton and Cornell. Taylor and his wife, Cathy, are the parents of a daughter, Casey, and a son, Jared.

STUDENT-ATHLETEThe NDSU athletic programs strive to provide personalized support for all student-athletes. The administrators, coaches and staff at NDSU have made a commitment to ensure that the needs of the student-athlete come first.

ACE: Academic collegiate enhancementIntercollegiate athletics, in cooperation with Orientation and Student

Success, offers an academic enhancement program designed to assist all student-athletes. Tutors are on site and assist student-athletes by providing one-on-one or small group assistance. Each head coach has specific academic criteria for admission into the program.

In cooperation with various services and units available for students at NDSU, the ACE program includes:

• Academic orientations• Helping student-athletes improve study skills for academic success• Identifying university resources to assist student-athletes• Coordinating structured study and tutorial programs• Monitoring semester and yearly academic progress

Residence lifeLiving on campus is an important part of the college experience. It’s a way to

make new friends and join a variety of educational, cultural, social and recreational activities. National studies show students living on campus are more likely to persist in their education and earn higher GPAs than their off-campus peers.

The Department of Residence Life offers a variety of options for on-campus living, from traditional men’s and women’s halls to four-bedroom apartments. The goal is to provide NDSU students a clean, safe, comfortable and affordable environment where academic success is encouraged and supported. On-cam-pus living offers the opportunity to become part of a learning community.

Strength and conditioningNDSU takes a comprehensive approach to the physical development of the

student-athlete. Strength training, speed development, plyometrics, agility and conditioning programs are based on the specific movements and physiological demands of each sport.

Under the supervision of NDSU’s four full-time strength and conditioning coaches, Bison student-athletes follow year-round training programs that increase each student-athlete’s level of strength, power, speed, agility, conditioning and flexibility.

Sports medicineStudent-athletes at NDSU receive outstanding care for athletic-related

injuries. The athletic training staff has access to fully equipped facilities at the Bison Sports Arena, Bentson Bunker Fieldhouse, Fargodome and Newman Outdoor Field.

Scott Woken, director of sports medicine, heads a staff of 10 certified athletic trainers who attend all practices and competitions, home and away. Plus, several talented and skilled Fargo-Moorhead area medical specialists assist in the diagnosis and treatment of Bison student-athletes.

Media coverageThe media spotlight shines on NDSU’s athletic teams from the opening of fall

camps into the summer months. With four network television stations, three sports talk radio hosts, and the state’s largest daily newspaper all headquartered in Fargo, the Bison are continually a hot topic locally and in the region.

Along with regular television news coverage on ABC, NBC, CBS and FOX affiliates, the Bison receive expanded regional and national coverage of select regular-season games and championship events on ESPN, Fox Sports Net, CBS College Sports, and other regional carriers.

GoBison.comGoBison.com is the online home of NDSU athletics. In 2004, the university

partnered with NeuLion to launch the most interactive website in the athletic department’s history.

Beyond regular news releases, schedules, rosters, game recaps and statistics, fans can visit GoBison.com to watch live in-game stats of most home events, video features with players and coaches, purchase tickets and buy photos.

Plus, with the All Access subscription plan, broadband Internet users can log on to watch live and on-demand video of many home contests and special events, as well as coaches shows and news conferences.

NORTH DAKOTA AT A GLANCEThe Peace Garden State

One trip to North Dakota and you’ll understand why it’s known as the friendliest and safest state to visit. In fact, from agricultural products to quality of life, North Dakota is often at the top of the charts.

Discover the spirit of North Dakota and unlock the fascinating stories from the state’s legendary past.The glow of the breathtaking Northern Lights shines brightly on the paths taken by historical legends George Armstrong Custer, Theodore Roosevelt, Sitting Bull, Meriwether Lewis, William Clark and Saka-kawea along with the state’s contemporary heroes, Lawrence Welk, Peggy Lee, Roger Maris, Phil Jackson, Virgil Hill, Rick Helling, Darin Erstad and Travis Hafner.

From the settlers of the past to the farmers of the present, agriculture always has been and will continue to be the strength of North Dakota. The state is home to some of the richest soil in the world.

North Dakota is a prime exporter of agricultural products, taking the trophy in production of several crops. North Dakota ranks first in the production of flaxseed, canola, durum wheat, all dry edible beans, all dry edible peas, spring wheat, honey, lentils, sunflowers, barley and oats. About 10 percent of North Dakota’s area, the band of rich soil 40 miles west of the Red River, is often called the “Breadbasket of the World.”

Livestock production is second only to wheat in North Dakota’s agricultural economy. It is most important in western North Dakota where the land is less suited for grain crops. The main livestock are beef, dairy cattle and hogs. The importance of cattle ranching has been challenged in recent years by the development of North Dakota’s tremendous oil and coal reserves.

North Dakota’s oil reserves - known as the Bakken and the Three Forks Forma-tions - have been making headlines for their size and viability. Some reports estimate the Bakken Formation could boost the U.S.’s oil reserves by 10x.

Currently, an average of 218,000 barrels of oil are pumped from wells in North Dakota each day. In 2008, oil production became the #2 industry in North Dakota, which is the fourth largest oil producing state in the U.S.

Gas was first discovered in North Dakota in 1907. Today more of the state’s natural gas is a by-product of oil production. More than 92-million cubic feet of natural gas is captured annually in North Dakota. Among coal-producing states, North Dakota ranks ninth and produces 3 percent of the nation’s output. North Dakota has one of the world’s largest deposits of lignite coal.

Quality of life in the heartland is rarely matched. In its annual crime survey, CQ Press has ranked North Dakota the safest state in the nation in 11 of the last 15 years.

There’s a little bit of something for everyone in North Dakota. The state is home to a variety of cultures, including Scandinavian, Ukrainian, German, Germans from Russia, and Native American.

North Dakota’s 14 state parks and recreation areas are nestled in the shadows of historic forts and sprawled among the stunning Badlands. From primitive campsites to cabin rentals, evening programs in outdoor amphitheaters to guided interpretive trails, you’ll find quite joys and great adventures.

North Dakota’s invigorating winter days, plentiful snowfall and varied terrain have made it a winter playground. Activities such as snowmobiling, downhill and cross-country skiing, ice fishing, sledding and skating are favorite pastimes.

FARGO-MOORHEAD AT A GLANCE

1

An All-American CityLess than ten thousand years ago, the area that is now Fargo-Moorhead was

200 feet below the surface of Lake Agassiz, a huge inland sea formed at the end of the last iceage. Over centuries the waters receded, leaving six feet of rich, black soil that today make the Red River Valley one of the world’s most fertile farmlands, with Fargo and Moorhead as its center.

Located in the center of North America, the Red River Valley is a 30-40 mile wide strip of land that gently rises westward from the Red River running northward between North Dakota and Minnesota, extending into Canada. Rich, black soil produces an abundance of crops such as potatoes, sunflowers, sugar beets, wheat, corn, soybeans, alfalfa, oats, and lentils. Industry and agriculture are closely related in Fargo-Moorhead. With two meat-packaging plants, sugar and sunflower processing plants, creameries and a malting barley plant, the metro area processes most of its own products.

When you visit Fargo-Moorhead, you will find yourself in one of the most warm-hearted communities in the entire nation. Our community is currently the largest shopping destination between Minneapolis, Minnesota, and Spokane, Washington. We are home to a vibrant economy, unique attractions and numerous dining establishments of every kind and flavor. The two cities are divided by the Red River of the North which also serves as the border between the states of North Dakota and Minnesota. The river itself is unique as it flows north to eventually drain into Lake Winnipeg.

The city of Fargo was named for one of the owners of the Wells-Fargo Express Company, William G. Fargo. In 1885, the existence of many lawyers in Fargo and easy divorce laws prompted thousands of unhappy married people to apply for the “Ten-Minute Divorce.” Also in Fargo’s history is the Great Fire of 1893, started when Mrs. Rosa Herzman discarded ashes behind her grocery store. They were ignited, and fire spread from what is now Main Avenue to the north. By the end of the day, downtown Fargo was devastated.

The city of Moorhead was named after William G. Moorhead, an executive of the Northern Pacific Railway. In fact, the Northern Pacific Railway had a profound impact on both the economy and population of the area. Originally settled by Scandinavian and European immigrants, Fargo and Moorhead became boomtowns with the arrival of the NP in 1871. When the Northern Pacific Railroad was selecting its crossing site over the Red River, eager land speculators spared no effort to learn of the location. Railroad officials marked a false route a few miles north of Moorhead, Minnesota to throw speculators off the trail. This area, now Oakport Township, was known for years as “Bogusville.”

Under the Homestead Act, settlers were given 160 acres in exchange for living on the land and farming part of it for at least five years. Suddenly

Fargo-Moorhead became a mecca for hopeful refugees from the overcrowded east. The railroad brought a constant stream of settlers seeking a new life on America’s newest frontier.

Today the population of the Fargo-Moorhead metropolitan area is more than 200,000, and there seems to be no end in sight to the persistent prosperity and growth. While agriculture is still prominent in the local economy, Fargo-Moor-head has also become an important focal point for other professions, including government, education, medicine, retailing and manufacturing.

From dance to theater to music, Fargo-Moorhead is rich with cultural arts. The local attractions are mostly reflective of the roots of our original settlers. The Heritage Hjemkomst Interpretive Center and Bonanzaville, USA are two sites filled with pioneer spirit and old-time hospitality. The area park districts maintain more than 3,000 acres of parkland and recreational facilities.

Fargo-Moorhead takes pride in its cultural park, Trollwood, as well as its all-year indoor skating and hockey arenas. Several swimming pools, numerous ball diamonds and winter-summer playgrounds and picnic grounds bring the great outdoors to all the people regardless of the weather. In addition to the popular NCAA Division I athletic events at North Dakota State University, Fargo-Moorhead is also home to the F-M RedHawks professional baseball team of the American Association, and the USHL’s Fargo Force hockey team.

NCAA COMPLIANCE

ARE YOU A REPRESENTATIVE OF NDSU’S ATHLETICS INTERESTS?

You are a representative of NDSU’s athletics interests, more commonly known as a “booster”, if you meet any of the following conditions:— You have been or are a member of any organization that promotes NDSU’s athletics program (e.g., NDSU Foundation, Team Makers).— You have made a financial contribution to the NDSU athletics department or its booster organization.— You have ever assisted in the recruitment of prospects for NDSU.— You have provided benefits (e.g. summer jobs or occasional family meals) to enrolled student-athletes.— You have arranged for or provided employment for enrolled student-athletes, or assisted in providing any benefit to enrolled student-athletes or their families.— You have ever, in any way, promoted the athletics program at NDSU.

NOTE: Please remember that once you become a booster, you retain that identity indefinitely.

WHO IS A PROSPECTIVE STUDENT-ATHLETE?

A prospective student-athlete, commonly known as a “prospect,” is any individual who has started classes for the 9th grade. In addition, student-athletes enrolled in preparatory school or two-year colleges are considered prospects. Ultimately, a student remains a prospect until enrollment at a four-year collegiate institution. It is possible for a younger student-athlete to be a prospect so it is a good idea to treat all athletes as prospects until they enroll.

WHO CAN RECRUIT FOR NORTH DAKOTA STATE UNIVERSITY?

Only North Dakota State University coaches who successfully complete the annual NCAA Coaches Certificate Exam, which tests their knowledge of NCAA recruitment legislation, are permitted to be involved in the recruiting process. As a booster, you are specifically prohibited from:— Making any recruiting contacts with prospects or their relatives. This includes telephone calls, letters, emails, and facsimiles, along with any face-to-face contact either on or off campus.

— Assisting NDSU coaches by picking up transcripts, films, or any other information pertaining to a prospect’s ability from the prospect’s educational institution.— Providing a benefit to high school, prep school or community college coaches.

NCAA RULES REGARDING THE INTERNET

The internet is considered similar to email, telephone calls, or general correspondence. Therefore, it should not be used by boosters to contact prospects, their families, or their coaches. Participation in “chat rooms” with prospects is strictly prohibited.

NCAA RULES REGARDING BOOSTER INVOLVEMENT WITH PROSPECTS

— You may not provide financial aid or benefit of any kind (e.g., clothing, special discounts, lodging, meals, transportation, tickets, loans of money) to prospects or their relatives.— You may not contact a prospective student-athlete to congratulate him/her on signing a National Letter of Intent to attend NDSU.— You may not provide transportation or arrange for payment of transportation costs for a prospect or his/her relatives or friends to visit campus.— You may not earmark funds nor pay for specific prospects to attend an NDSU summer camp.— You may not employ or arrange for employment of a prospect before the completion of his/her senior year. After graduation, a booster may employ a prospect as long as compensation is for work actually performed and at a rate commensurate with experience and the going rate.— You may not provide anything to a prospect or the prospect’s family or friends without prior approval from the Compliance Office.

NCAA RULES REGARDING BOOSTER INVOLVEMENT WITH ENROLLED STUDENT-ATHLETES

— You may not pay for or arrange for payment of room, board, or any type of transportation at any time for currently enrolled student-athletes, their relatives, or their friends.— You may not provide student-athletes with any sort of extra benefit, which refers to any special arrangement provided a student-athlete or his/her relatives or friends with the benefit unavailable to the general student population.

— You may not provide student-athletes with any special discounts, payment arrangements (e.g., cosigning a loan), credits on a purchase (e.g., airline ticket, clothing), or services (e.g., dry cleaning, transportation).— You may not allow student-athletes to use your telephone or make free calls.— You may not provide awards or gifts to student-athletes for any reason. This also prohibits honorariums for speaking engagements. All awards to student-athletes must meet all NCAA legislation and be approved by the Compliance Office.— You may not entertain student-athletes or their families and friends. You may not even buy them a cup of coffee or a can of soda. The only exception to this is that you may, on an occasional basis, provide a student-athlete or team (not family members or friends) with a meal. The meal can be catered, but it must be in your home.— You may not use the name or picture of a student-athlete to advertise a commercial product.— You may not purchase complimentary admissions from a current student-athlete.— You may not provide an honorarium to a student-athlete for speaking engagement.

NOTE: These rules apply throughout the student-athlete’s entire enrollment at NDSU.

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

— Forward information about prospects to the appropriate NDSU coaching staff member.n View a prospect’s athletics contest on your own initiative, provided you do not contact the prospect or his/her relatives, coach, principal, or counselor in an attempt to evaluate the academic or athletic abilities of the prospect. You are responsible for all incurred costs or fees at a contest.— Speak to a prospect on the telephone ONLY if the prospect initiates the call. You are not permitted to have a recruiting conversation, but you may exhibit normal civility. Under such circumstances, you must refer questions about the athletics program to the athletics department staff.— Employ a prospect or student-athlete, provided permission has been granted by the athletics department. The student-athlete will ask you to provide employment information to the athletics department prior to employment.

North Dakota State University’s athletics program is rich in tradition. Its storied history includes national, regional, and conference championships and champions. On top of these

athletic achievements are numerous academic championships earned by our student-athletes. As we strive to continue the championship tradition of Bison Athletics, we must always seek the highest of ethical conduct. North Dakota State University is unconditionally committed to NCAA rules and regulations. As an NCAA member institution, we must be responsible for ensuring that everyone abides by those rules. There is no margin for unethical behavior.

With your assistance and cooperation, we believe we can continue to represent the university with integrity, the highest of ethical standards, and the belief in doing what is right. Whether you are an alum, donor, booster, or friend of Bison Athletics, the university is grateful for your support. Together we can accomplish the common goal of ensuring a positive experience for all student-athletes. NDSU is subject to penalties for all violations committed by any alum, donor, booster or friend. Please contact the NDSU Compliance Office at (701) 231-5696 if you need a specific NCAA rule interpretation.
