"Bison seeing tough competition during spring tournaments"

Preview: "To the common college sports fan the concept of “spring practice” is quickly association with one sport – football. This mostly has to do with things such as the growing popularity of the sport’s annual spring game (some major programs this year have their spring games broadcast live on ESPN).

While many surrounding North Dakota State University athletics have the April 30th spring game circled on their calendar, there is another sport on campus taking full advantage of the opportunity for offseason workouts."

Anyone have an idea how we are doing this spring?

I'll get sound from Coach this week to talk about the tournaments.

Here's some sound with Head Volleyball Coach Kari Thompson talking about her offseason and some of those bigtime tournaments. I will also say Kari is an absolute blast to talk with and the Bison are lucky to have her as a coach.
