Catching up with the Northern Sun

MSU-Moorhead swept Northern State in a Wednesday (Dec. 19) doubleheader, which is newsworthy because the Northern men came in 5-0, good for 1st in the NSIC North.

But the Moorhead men took a 38-29 halftime lead and held on 71-69 behind Gavin Baumgardner, the 6-4 freshman guard from Wayzata, who scored 18 points with 8 boards and 3 assists. Moorhead led by as many as 11 early in the 2nd half. Northern cut the lead to 2 a half-dozen times but never got any closer. Northern remains in 1st in the North at 5-1. Moorhead is 3-3.

The Moorhead women won a bit more easily, 60-51, and in this case it is the Dragons who are undefeated and in 1st place in the NSIC North. Jacky Volkert, from Mounds View, led the way with 18 points and 5 assists. The Northern women are just 2-4.

Player of the Day--Gavin Bumgarner
