We all know the last time NDSU and James Madison met up, it didn’t go well for the Herd. Two key defensive pieces were absent down the stretch in 2016, Nick DeLuca and Nate Tanguay. Their presence this season makes a big difference. But there is another Code Green standout who didn’t play a factor in last year’s playoffs, redshirt…
FARGO, N.D. — North Dakota State men’s basketball only came away with one win on its season-opening three-game roadstand. But, the team has shown improvement in each game. Bison head coach Dave Richman is putting a lot of emphasis on defense this season, and his team shut down Missouri State from 3-pt range. The Bears 1-for-17 from beyond the perimeter…
FARGO, ND — Commissioners in Fargo will decide if a fired city worker can get his job back after allegedly assaulting his boss. Reports say Aaron Cockfield was terminated from his job at a Fargo solid waste facility on August 22nd. Officials say Cockfield was clearly the aggressor during a fight with his boss in the break room. Cockfield…
MORTON COUNTY, ND — Charges against a photo journalist who was arrested during the Dakota Access pipeline protests in Morton County last year have been dismissed. Sara Lafleur-Vetter was arrested on Oct. 22 with 140 other people near the pipeline easement and was charged with obstruction and disorderly conduct.

FARGO, N.D. — At 6-0 on the season, North Dakota State football has plenty of strengths. The Bison allow the fewest passing yards in the country at 109 per game. No. 10 Western Illinois is in town on Saturday with the goal of putting up a lopsided figure in that category. The Leathernecks are third in the Missouri Valley Football…
FARGO, N.D. — North Dakota State may not have as tough a non-conference schedule as it has in years past, but the Bison are using that to their advantage. NDSU leads the FCS in scoring defense (6.7 points allowed per game), rush defense (27.7 yards/game) and pass defense (78.7 yards/game). The most impressive part is how much playing time the…
FARGO, ND — NDSU football is 2-and-0 after beating #7 Eastern Washington over the weekend. The Bison didn’t have one of their star defensive players in the contest.

FARGO, N.D. — The injury bug continues to waste no time affecting North Dakota State football. Preseason FCS All-American linebacker Nick DeLuca is questionable heading into Saturday’s game against No. 7 Eastern Washington. The NDSU Athletics Department is calling it a “non-ACL” knee injury, but he is still being evaluated. DeLuca missed 11 games in 2016 with season-ending shoulder surgery…
FARGO, N.D. — One of the main staples for a North Dakota State football team is the defense. The Bison are all about winning low-scoring games instead of shootouts. Leading the way for NDSU is the man with the headset, Matt Entz, who is in his fourth year with the program as the defensive coordinator. Entz is dealing with the…
FARGO, N.D. — North Dakota State football is still practicing without All-American defensive end Greg Menard who injured his ACL over the weekend. The Bison are used to filling holes on defense after Nick DeLuca and Nate Tanguay missed significant playing time with injuries last season. Tanguay actually suffered an ACL tear too, so he knows what Menard is going…
