    Default 1st Conf Win

    Bison go 1-2 at S. Utah, winning game 3 of the series on Saturday 3-1 with 7 strong innings by Straka with 7 IP, 6 hits, 0 er.

    This is a very young team that will compete for a Summit championships after this season. ORU will be tough, but we can at least compete well with the rest of the Summit in coming years.

    This team needs a little love from the bison faithful. Pray for warm weather as the bison have a nice home stretch coming up in late April.

    Definitely something to build off of.

    As far as competing for a Summit Championship.... Still a long ways to go. Maybe compete for a place in the tournament but NO ONE is competing with Oral Roberts for the title and hasn't for over a decade.

    If the Bison can continue the trend of bringing in some quality players, we will move toward the top of the Summit. Great group of Freshmen and transfers the past offseason. We also need to continue to grow schollarships, that is the key. Finishing outside the top 4 in the Summit is not going to sit well . . . build this program.

    With continued growth of scholarships we can get to the top 3 but with out that it will not happen. Players want to go south to play and the only way to convince quality pitchers to go to ndsu is through scholarships. To expect them to be top 3 with out being at least top 5 in scholarships is too much to ask.

    There is definitely some good young talent and a few solid transfers but the big difference is the increased travel budget to travel farther and play an easier schedule so far. The only close games travel wise were all Big 10 or Big XII opponents which is what they were forced to play before.

    we need to try and continue to get the top talent from ND to play here. there is no doubt in my mind that the top tier talent from the state can play for us year after year. With a program like us where we're limited in scholarships and we're just on the brink of being a first year team, we need the top in-state talent to help us continue to grow and improve.

    If you go down to central minnesota, & Metro. you could get a starting 9 team every year that could win the summit. PERIOD.

    them too, we need to get some studs from there as well, but the top talent in ND is pretty good as well year after year...

    think of this team plus elgie, lundy, ebert, frenzel next year, etc. there were also some kids that slipped through the cracks during the coaching transition. this team could be half to 3/4 north dakota kids if the recruiting wouldve happened.
