Aberdeen, S.D. – Rachel Krogman led the No. 12 Wolves to a 74-42 victory over the Minnesota State University Moorhead Dragons in the NSIC opener. Krogman recorded a career night hitting her 1,000 career point with a free-throw nine minutes into the first half of play. Rachel was 11 points away coming into tonight's game and received a loud roar from the crowd as the ball hit net to reach the milestone. NSU is 7-0 on the year and 1-0 in Northern Sun play.
 
The senior led the team with 21 points and ten rebounds in the win, while going 8-for-12 from the floor and 5-for-5 from the free-throw line.

Northern compiled 23 points off the bench, led by Lauren Deadrick with six. Deadrick added a career high 13 rebounds to the team total of 51. The Wolves out-rebounded the Dragons by 26 and scored 13 second chance points.
 
The Wolves improved their shooting from a game ago, as they went 50 percent from the floor and 87.5 percent from the free-throw line. Twelve forced MSUM turnovers led to 16 NSU points. Moorhead shot just 22.4 percent from the floor and 16.1 percent from the arch.
 
NSU went on a 21-2 run for a majority of the first half, ending the twenty minutes up 41-13. The Dragons struggled to keep the NSU posts at bay, as Northern compiled 32 points in the paint and 39 defensive rebounds.
