Jordan King (G, 6-0, 180, Jr., Arlington, S.D./Arlington HS) led an NSU comeback effort against the University of Mary with a career-high 16 points on Saturday despite playing just 17 minutes of the game. King drained four of eight 3-point attempts, including several late treys to keep the Wolves in contention. He was also a perfect 4-for-4 from the free throw line while dishing out five assists and coming up with one of the team’s three steals.

Emily Becken notched her first double-double of the season with a 17-point, 11-assist effort in the Wolves' 76-65 win over the University of Mary. Becken was one of four Wolves in double figures in scoring and one of three players to notch a double-double, marking the first time that has happened this season. NSU has now won four straight games.

DULUTH, Minn. – Northern State University soccer fans and parents who are unable to attend tonight’s Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference quarterfinal tournament game at the University of Minnesota Duluth can still follow all the action via live statistics feeds and a streaming video webcast.

Live stats will be available at http://sports.umdbulldogs.com/Soccer/xlive.htm, while the webcast will be carried on the www.northernsun.tv site.

The Wolves are making their 12th straight appearance in the NSIC post-season tournament, this time as the seventh seed in the annual 8-team affair. NSU has not missed a conference tournament since the program’s inception in 1998.

Second-seeded UMD is hosting its first playoff game since the 2003 season and pits its 13-2-1 overall record (11-1-1 NSIC) against the Wolves’ 7-7-6 mark (5-4-4 NSIC) in the 6:30 p.m. match-up. The Bulldogs took a 2-1 victory over NSU earlier this season in an Oct. 17 match in Aberdeen, snapping what had been a 5-game unbeaten streak for the Wolves.

The winner of tonight's match-up moves on to the tournament semifinals, to be held at the top remaining seed following today's first-round games. Semifinal games will be held on Friday, with the championship match scheduled for Sunday.
