BOX SCORE

“At certain times we had intensity, and certain times we didn't.  We had a lot of unforced errors, and we probably won the first game too easily and let down our focus,” Coach Lisa Schriver added after the game.

The Wolves are next in action on Tuesday when they take on MSU-Moorhead at home.  The game is slated for a 7:00 p.m. start.

Northern State University is an NCAA Division II member of the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) and is located in Aberdeen, S.D.
