Leatherneck Nation

Early start time for tonight's game as it will be the first game of a double-header at North Dakota State. The NDSU Men will be playing South Dakota State in the second game.

Our game will be 5PM tonight on ESPN3.

I remember the nervousness and concern experienced by both team and coaching staff before these types of games. No away game in the Summit is easy, in fact no game in the Summit is easy. 8 hour bus trip to the plains yesterday, and then the wait with a shoot around in-between. I would expect a surge from NDst. to begin the game, and then, the Necks will get down to the business of putting the Bison away before they head back to good old Macomb. Sure glad the game is at 5:00 pm! The Necks will get to see the sun coming up tomorrow morning! jc

Can't go to Fargo in the winter without stopping in at the Curling Club to at least visit if not actually take a lesson on the ice.

With five games left, WIU has shot at Summit title.

From today's McDonough County Voice:

WIU up 34-32 at the half. Getting good looks, not too many falling.

Leatherneck complete domination in the second half to finish with 87-60 win. These gals really share the ball. When the shots are falling and with that pesky matchup zone, we are hard to beat.

Western outscored NDSU 53-28 in the second half to win the game 87-60.

Morgan Blumer led the Western scoring with 20 points. Emily Clemens had 19. Olivia Braun had 17. Taylor Higginbotham had 12.

Attendance at NDSU = 712.

Next game will be Saturday Feb 11 at Denver. Game time is 1PM. This will be the last road game of the season. Last 3 games will be at Western Hall.

If we can take care of business in Denver, that game next Wednesday is going to be HUGE

Just checked. I can get a reasonably priced flight into Midway. I think I will jump on it.

Western Illinois' potent offense too much for Bison women.
