I am fairly certain the soccer program has a FT Athletic Trainer that is with them at all home and away games as well as practices. Their request is a team physician who I believe only Soccer and Hockey have on site for all games home and away.

In detailing the complaint regarding medical staff, the players said in the letter that "unlike other contact sports at UND, our team does not have access to a dedicated team doctor. We rely on a physician's assistant on call, which has led to delays in medical attention during games."

We all agree there should not be delays in medical attention during games?

No. They don't want porta potties.

Let's work on our 8th grade English skills.

They make fancy porta potties with running water and lights. Why put in permanent ones when the does is used sparingly in the fall.

That doesn't even make sense.

They want running water for bathrooms like from 70+ years ago.

Ask yourself why your defending, a university you support, not even giving their student athletes the bare minimum?

They should be thankful for their free scholarships paid for by the rest of the non athlete students and subsidized by the taxpayers of ND. Seriously I don’t understand this entitlement. Maybe we should worry more about the academic needs of the university not some non revenue sport.

Wanting grass vs what players prefer to play on are two different things. It's not complicated. UND doesn't have the resources to properly maintain a quality grass field. The least desired field to play on in the Summit is at UND. Least desired in the NSIC is MSUM. Both....grass.

Yes they do and they do maintain it.  These girls are bitching cause softball got a new field.

I don't know if you've noticed this sites name is called sports.

The whole goal here on Sioux Sports is about the advancement of the athletic programs.

I mean, it's actually not a bad idea:

Have UND soccer play on the local high school soccer field.

Afterall, It is a much nicer facility than UND soccer!

UND has a swim team without a swimming pool and a tennis team without tennis courts!

Swim team was probably also about to have to go to the local high school for that too until the city decided to build one!

UND: Trying to keep up with Grand Forks Central's athletic facilities since 1999.

I meant to say only football, and hockey have on site for all games. Altru had on site for all home events.

But they do have a athletic trainer assigned to them FT. According to their roster under coaches they have listed https://fightinghawks.com/sports/womens-soccer/roster/staff/rhiannon-vandegrift-dat-atc/2144 

 

If there is not a on site team physician during home games they need to speak with Sanford, that would be a lapse of coverage compared to Altru who would have a physician from the Family Med next door come to alot of events.

To your first point.....they don't. Not to the standard of a high end "FIFA certified" quality pitch ( soccer lingo) as some here are selling it.  The fairways at Ray Richards are more playable and my neighbor mows his grass but still looks like an unattended vacant lot 90% of the time. 

To your 2nd point.....absolutely have no doubt that's a big part of it. Probably the biggest reason for the complaints.

Should be maintained but if they want a new field find someone to pay for it like hockey and softball did and basketball.

at least they aren’t changing (n tents like playoff football did , 

‘do all sports have Drs. On staff at practice and games, doubtful

nothing wrong with midlevel practitioners

The CA girls on roster expect more when they come to (checks notes) North Dakota to play soccer

your insight into the female mind of individual persons must be a blessing....   and a curse?  I think I saw a movie about you.

Decided to drive by the soccer field. It's actually pretty nice.

They do have a few small bleachers for fans. The teams do have a "wind protector" around the team benches. They have a pretty nice elevated scoreboard even.

And a small portable shed for equipment and two blue portapotties next to it.

Could small upgrades maybe an arch over the entrance to the field "home of UND soccer" and some real bathrooms and they'd be set.

Happy Camper Coffee is setup and they have cornhole to play all setup out front.

Turf looked good.

The expectation to have a FIFA level field in North Dakota is quite fascinating as well.  Not as fascinating as my insight into the female mind but close.  

This team is as clueless as their coach.

I don't think any of the opinions will matter if it turns out UND are not title 9 compliant. I do think they can be more competitive but the best years in program history for softball and soccer have happened with the current head coaches and in the end who really cares about soccer? We want the hockey team to win and football/basketball would be great.

Which sports don’t have medical staff at their games?’

I can’t believe every sport has medical staff in attendance 

would like to see the number of injuries during games in each sport

Bronson turf was rebuilt not long ago; they played at EGF HS for a season.
They now occupy what was UND WIH locker facilities. 

Yes, have better medical staff on site during play.

But I'm suspecting shiny new (DONATED) Albrecht Field is part of this.

This just in - the athletic trainer on hand does everything.  The doctors on hand at other games (football, basketball) are a final-say in worst case situation type of role.  Other than that they stand there and do nothing.  

These girls (and coach?) are all bent over softball getting their new field. End of story.

This.

This whole thing is all because of the new softball field. Jealousy.
