Very common especially early in a season

Jimmie women lose a tough one to Concordia 2-1 in overtime. Cobbers came out strong in the first leading 1-0 but then it was the Jimmie’s with the better play tying it up with 5 to go. Jimmie’s took a penalty in ot and that’s when the Cobbers won it. Fun game to be at

MOORHEAD — The Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference will visit the University of Jamestown this week, with the school hoping to impress enough to get an invitation.

If all goes well, the North Dakota school could know by Thanksgiving whether it'll be on its way to NCAA Division II.

It's a big week.

"It's going to be everything you think it could be," Jamestown athletic director Austin Hieb said Tuesday. "They'll meet with coaches, administrators, student-athletes, weight-training staff. They'll look at the campus and facilities, of course. They'll be checking out everything."

An NSIC contingent including presidents, chancellors, athletic directors, conference staff, senior women's administrators and faculty athletics representatives will be on-site Wednesday and Thursday.

This move makes sense on so many levels. The GPAC while a good bb conference, you aren't close to anyone and have no natural rivalries. The GPAC is predominately a Sioux City/Omaha based league. Jamestown's closest conference team is Mitchell SD.

NSIC while presenting some challenges in Football, works better from from a travel standpoint. UJ's faciliities are fine and many teams (BB and Volleyball) are already mid tier level NSiC teams.

I really do not see what reason U of J would not get invited to join. Basketball has been solid, Volleyball solid, T & F good, baseball good, football will be the week point, but they have u of Mary and Minot State so there is that. One question would be does the NSIC have womens wrestling? I will just go ahead and look if they do.

I also believe the NSIC is losing a school, so they would be an odd number thus adding a school balances the divisions. The GPAC was adding a school in Iowa so they would have been an odd number of teams. Thus an additional reason to vote out UJ to get to an even number.

Sounds like a fun game to attend for sure! Go Jimmies!

Rankings come out Tuesday and I gotta think they will be in top 10. If so it would be another milestone for this young program
