UND at NDSU

[darell1976]

I thought I would post this: Tonight is the second UND-NDSU game of the fall season (NDSU won in soccer). Nope not football but women's volleyball.

North Dakota and North Dakota State have renewed their volleyball rivalry the past two seasons — the first two matchups in the NCAA Division I era.

The third matchup this season comes at a different time, though, as the Green and White are in the midst of a Big Sky Conference schedule as opposed to a Great West Conference slate, a docket in which UND was the annual frontrunner.

UND visits Fargo at 7 Tuesday night to face the Bison with two meaningful Big Sky matchups lingering for the weekend.

North Dakota, 4-4 in the Big Sky, is currently tied with Southern Utah for the sixth spot in the league standings — an important position as the top six teams from the conference advance to the postseason league tournament in Greeley, Colo., in November.

“Thursday is a big game, but it’s UND-NDSU and that one is always circled on our calendar,” Hardee said.

UND and the Bison have split matches the last two seasons with each team winning on their home court. UND’s 3-1 victory over NDSU last season at the Betty was the program’s first win over the in-state rival since 2002.

This season, the Bison are 4-4 in the Summit League and 7-11 overall. NDSU is led by senior Brynn Joki, the sister of UND assistant coach and former Green and White player Erin Joki. Megan Lambertson also hits a team-best .378 with a 2.87 kills-per-set average for the Bison.

Just got back from the game. UND swept NDSU 3-0. UND's first win in Fargo since October 19, 1976. Big crowd with a lot of UND fans in attendance. Great win!!!

A couple Bison fans in front of us started chanting..."whose your mascot". Very creative.

Well what is it?

We don't have a mascot...not since Thunder the Bleacher Creature in 1991. Our nickname is..... to be determined in 2015. You can either call us, UND, University of North Dakota, or The Fighting NoDaks.:D

Congrats on the win. Our team sucks, and the better team definately won. This Bison squad is a far cry from the dominant teams we've had in recent years. I knew we would struggle, but didn't see this coming!

We will be back, but it will be a tough road.

Also, what is bad about the logo smack? At the match in GF last year there was a resounding "start the tractor chant" when the match was put away. That's not original, but I thought it was hilarious!

I didn't say it was bad, I said it was creative. I never heard that chant before. Some UND fans in hockey jerseys held up a sign that said something about the nickel I was across the gym so I couldn't read it all. So you have smack on both sides, and as long as its tasteful there is nothing wrong with that. Its when you get profanity or race or something thrown in thats where it could get ugly. Very classy on both sides. My first time at the Benson Bunker Fieldhouse, its a nice building. Great seating.

Kind of like your fans with the nickle sign. But its great smack. Too bad they had to stand out side the doors a chide people with the sign and their behavior. Didnt show your fan base in a good light. But all fan bases have a few.

UND has a better VB team plain and simple. Your hitters are pretty good and your setter put the ball where it was supposed to be.
The Bison couldnt put a whole game together and didnt play like a team. A lot of unforced errors also. They have a lot of work to do.

The sign said Robb 4 Homecoming king. He kept yelling that during the game also. WTF??? LOL
The other side had a picture of the nickle and it said Gotta Nickle.

I couldn't read the whole sign...what did it say, or weren't you there?

You missed a huge op---should have said nickle.xlolxxsmiley_wix

[Bisonoline]

Thing is we could have got by without J-lo if we had a good supporting cast. But this team is very lacking.

I believe it said "I need change. Does anyone have a nickel?"

I checked my pockets and didnt have any change. If i did I would have tossed him one. If thats what it said boy did I miss read it.

It's so much easier to laugh at that when the Bison are National Champions and undefeated :)
