So I am reading today about the Dragons losing to the Bulldogs, 52-48 in the NSIC Championship Game.
Minnesota Duluth is 23-6 on the Year and the Forum says they are coached by Mandy Pearson. Interesting name, Forum mentions Pearson has a local connection in having played for Concordia.
Here is her bio:

Turns out Pearson, as a Head Coach, has already turned around a MIAC program, St Mary’s, and has now turned around a NSIC program.
18-19 season 23-6 (18-4) (so far - on to the D2 playoffs)
17-18 season 16-11 (13-9)
16-17 season 14-14 (11-11)
15-16 season 7-19 (7-14)(1st season)
I have no idea if she would have any interest in the NDSU, but she checks a lot of boxes
- Minnesota native (Watkins MN)
- local connection (Concordia)
- rebuilds both a D3 and a D2 program
- hence has an upward trajectory as a Head Coach
- experience recruiting Minnesota!!!
Again it’s Just a thought - no idea if Mandy Pearson has any interest -
Plus she coached the Bulldogs past the Bison 70-65 in an exhibition game this season so she knows how to find the Shac!
