Northern State University's Stephanie Nygaard (Milbank, S.D.) picked up her second Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference Defensive Player of the Week award of the season on Monday after extending her NSIC lead in season digs in NSU's 3-match effort last week.
    Nygaard recorded 62 digs (6.89 digs per set) on the week to extend her NSIC-leading dig count to 272.  The senior also recorded four assists and a service ace in the effort as the Wolves went 1-2, including a decisive 3-0 win over Bemidji State on Saturday.
