UND92,96

Just 117 yards so far for UMD.

That drive used up a good portion of the 3rd quarter, and UND gets the wind in the 4th!

3rd and goal coming up from the 8 or 9. FREUND TD RUN!

Trenbeath to the 12. 3rd and about 1 or 2 coming up...Chappell close to the first down...YES!

Chappell for 5 or 6 and a first down!

Dressler to the 25. 3rd and short coming up.

With the way UMD is overpursuing, it seems like it's just a matter of time before UND breaks a big one...

First down pass to Chappell to the 39!

Good half for the Sioux, and we get the ball to start the second half.

Weird play call on the last play. Threw it short to Jake Caufield.

Don't try the 50-plus field goal against the wind! You're better off throwing the Hail Mary.

Sack back to the 38.

4th and 3! What will Bubba do? Punt to the 5. Time for a big play from Chappell or Dressler!

C'mon, defense! This hasn't been a good second quarter at all for the D.

Nice call! I knew the coaches read this board, but I didn't know they read it DURING a game!

Another short yardage play...got it that time on the Chappell run.

At the risk of stating the obvious, Duluth's offense is going to be dangerous with the wind.

We're too predictable right now on short yardage situations. It sounds like they're selling out to stop the run, and we need to make them pay by going play-action (especially with the wind).

Hellevang has now missed six of his last eight field goal attempts.

I agree also.

Langen and Kimbrough were their usual selves--very good. Seay has a nice mid-range game. It was good to see Ledger back from her injury. Interior depth should be very good. I'm glad to hear that Bagaason's injury isn't severe, because her 3-point shooting will be a key to keeping opposing defenses somewhat honest. Jossy will knock down some 3's, as will Guinn and Beck at times, but Bagaason is really a pure shooter. I believe Youngblut also is known for her outside shooting, although she struggled a bit with her shot last night.

The starting lineup for tonight's exhibition game (won handily by the Sioux, as expected) was Langen, Kimbrough, Beck, Guinn and Seay. Guinn was actually running the point, which was a surprise to me. I thought she did a pretty good job, although how she will do against quick point guards who can put a lot of pressure on the ball remains to be seen. Bagaason and LaFrance were in street clothes--not sure whether they were sick or injured or what.

Definitely. And I have mentioned lately that Dale Lennon is the best football coach in UND history and should never even consider taking another coaching job?

Oops...judging by Coach Lennon's comments on the coaches' show tonight, these little injury updates I've posted based on information from past coaches' shows aren't appreciated, so I apologize.

Unfortunately, this year's team appears fairly likely to either set or tie a rather dubious school record--fewest wins in a season. That record is six, and UND currently has five, with only a match at Bemidji appearing to be a good chance for a win (and Bemidji is better than UMC).
