North Dakota takes to the road for the first time in league play, heading to Tulsa, Okla., to face Oral Roberts Wednesday before a Saturday tilt at Denver.
LAST ACTION
North Dakota rattled off 16 straight points early in the second quarter on the way to its first-ever Summit League win, a 79-60 victory over Purdue Fort Wayne Sunday at the Betty. UND out-scored the Mastodons, 31-11, in that frame to lead comfortably throughout.
THE SERIES WITH ORAL ROBERTS
First meeting between the schools.
THE SERIES WITH DENVER
North Dakota won a pair of Division II meetings with the Pioneers, collecting a close road win in 1987, then routing DU at the Hyslop in 1988.
All-time vs. the Pioneers
UND leads, 2-0
Home: 1-0, Away: 1-0, Neutral 0-0
12/7/87 W 78-73 (A)
12/7/88 W 94-53 (H)
OOPS, I DID IT AGAIN
Lexi Klabo became the first repeat Summit League Player of the Week with her honor on Dec. 31. She scored 21 and grabbed eight rebounds in the win over Purdue Fort Wayne in the team's first-ever Summit League tilt Dec. 29.
WHO NEEDS YA?
North Dakota won handily over Purdue Fort Wayne on Dec. 30 without the need for a long-range bucket. UND went 0-for-7 from three-point land but won by 19. North Dakota has had several games with just one three-pointer made, but its last without a make from deep was an 86-79 win at Sacramento State on Feb. 27, 2016 (0-for-2).
31 FLAVORS
North Dakota scored a season-high 31 points in the second quarter of the Summit League opener against Purdue Fort Wayne. That total marked the third time UND has charted at least 30 points in a quarter and is the second-highest single-quarter point total for North Dakota since the game went to a quarter system (2015-16 season). All have come at home at the Betty and all have resulted in UND wins.

BENCH BOOST
North Dakota got 37 points from its reserves in the 79-60 win over Purdue Fort Wayne Dec. 30. UND got 13 from Melissa Dailey and 11 more from Julia Fleecs as 10 different players scored for the Fighting Hawks in the win.
LEXI EXCAVATING THE RECORD BOOK
Lexi Klabo has moved into 16th place on UND's all-time scoring list, passing current associate head coach Mallory Bernhard (Youngblut) in the process. At her current pace (19.0 ppg), she would crack into the top 10 (1,531) in 10 games. Lexi is just 28 points shy of passing former teammate Mia Loyd for 15th place (1,384). She's also currently among the leaders in free throws made and blocked shots.
