A 13-3 run by Wyoming tied the game up at 34-34 and sparked a new energy for the home team. After being down for the first 15 minutes of the half, Langford drained a three-pointer to give the Cowgirls a 37-34 lead ? their first of the game ? with less that five minutes left. She dropped in three more in the final minutes to help Wyoming to a 51-38 advantage heading into the locker-room.

Langford was held to just one basket in the second stanza, but Elisabeth Dissen, Jade Kennedy, and Megan McGuffey were there to pick up the slack. Combined, they scored 31 second half points for the Cowgirls.

The Sioux pulled to within 12 points of Wyoming with 17 minutes left to go in the game, but that was as close as they would get as the Cowgirls continued to go on runs. In the last three minutes of the game, they out-scored UND, 10-5 to take the 100-75 decision.

North Dakota was led by senior Danye Guinn (G, St. Francis, Minn.) who was 6-for-7 from behind the arc and 10-for-13 shooting from the field. Fellow senior Kierah Kimbrough (Greenbush, Minn.) contributed another 20 points with 8-for-15 shooting from the field and 4-for-5 from the bonus line.

Langford finished 6-for-8 from the three-point line and 9-for-19 from the field to lead the Cowgirls in scoring. Kennedy, Dissen, and McGuffey finished with 16, 15, and 11 points, respectively.

“We hung with them for awhile, but they were bigger and more physical in the post,” said head coach Gene Roebuck. “They are strong at the block and have great outside shooters.

“We came back a little in the second half. We fought hard, but I think we just ran out of gas.”

The Sioux shot 47.6 percent (30-for-63) from the field, 41.2 percent (7-for-17) from the line, and 57.1 (8-for-14) from the line, but were out-shot in all areas by Wyoming who finished 52.3 (34-for-65), 42.3 percent (11-for-26) and 77.8 (21-for-27)

After winning the tipoff, Guinn drove the ball to the hoop and sparked a 10-3 run for the Sioux to start the game. Kimbrough and Kayla Bagaason (G, Clearbrook, Minn.) swapped baskets to push UND in front of the Cowgirls, whose only basket in the first three minutes was a three-pointer by Langford.

With three-point help from Kristen Scheffler and another by Langford, Wyoming moved to within one of the Sioux. A short time later, a basket by Kennedy put the game at 13-13 with 15:51 on the clock.

The Sioux and the Cowgirls were tied up again with 17s on the board, but with a set of three from behind the arc, including back-to-back three-pointers from Guinn, UND took a 31-21 lead with less than 10 minutes left in the first half.

A 13-3 run in favor of the home team made it a whole new ballgame with the scored tied at 34-34 with just over five minutes left in the stanza.

At 4:49, the Cowgirls took their first lead of the game off of a three-point shot by Langford ? one of four for her in the final five minutes of the first half.

Back out of the shoot, the Cowgirls maintained the lead over North Dakota with a 12-6 run to start the half, including a string of seven points by Dissen.

The Sioux cut the lead down to 12 aided by a pair of three-pointers by Guinn and a set of baskets by Kimbrough to put the game at 69-57 in favor of Wyoming.

The Cowgirls picked the momentum up once again with a 19-6 run to lead 87-66 with just over four and a half minutes remaining. The Sioux worked their way closer, but a scattering of Wyoming baskets held them as the Cowgirls went on the win, 100-75.

This was the most points scored against North Dakota this season and under Roebuck. No opponent has hit the century mark against the Sioux since the final game of the 1986-87 season when Augustana won, 101-70

The Fighting Sioux will continue on the road through the remainder of November with a 7 p.m. game versus Green Bay in Green Bay Wis. on Nov. 25 and will wrap-up with a pair of games in Flagstaff, Ariz. at the Northern Arizona Fairfield/Holiday Inn Express Thanksgiving Classic, Nov. 28-29. The Sioux will play UC Riverside at 5:05 p.m. on Friday and on Saturday, they take on host Northern Arizona at 5:35 p.m.
